This is a cool song off the new album..enjoy playing it! The intro is played throughout the song. You can play it palm muted or not..however it sounds better palm muted. There's also a 2nd guitar using a wah pedal, but since I don't have a wah pedal, I did not tab those parts.
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
PM - Palm mute
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
