Key:
~~ = Vibrato

H = Pinch Harmonic
$ = Slap your palm on all the strings to mute the volume quickly and relase your palm from the strings right after.

Ok...first off, you're gonna need a distortion pedal, and amp, and an electric guitar (obviously...lol). You can chose how you want the distortion to sound , but i prefere a full, rich tone--almost a heavy metal feel. But you could go with a fatter sound, whatever you prefer. Tuning: Standard.
INTRO:
Distortion, palm-muted.
REPEAT 4 times

You can either hit the 3 fret on the E string or the other one (its optional, chose whichever you like best...)
Then....

When you bend the string on the 20th fret, stay there and slowly come down off the bend after the second time you pluck it.

REPEAT CHORUS THINGY (found at the begining)
Now this part....
Clean.
REPEAT 4 times

|-0-----------------------3~~-2-3--|
|-----------------------0----------|
Now comes this part where he uses natural harmonics and stuff....but since im really lazy im just gonna put an alternative to that:
REPEAT TWICE
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|-7-7--7x-7x-7x-5-5x-5x-5x--|
|-7-7--5x-5x-5x-3-3x-3x-3x--|
|-5-5--5x-5x-5x-3-3x-3x-3x--|
I only made it seem like you hit the power chords plam muted 3 times, but actually you do it alot more, like 13 times or so....i lowered it for simplicity's sake. Listen to the song: You'll know when to change from 7|5|5 power chord to 5|3|3 power chord.
CHORUS again (the same one you do at the very begining)
SOLO again
CHORUS again (the normal one this time) Repeat twice.
then this part:
REPEAT TWICE
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|----7-7-7-7/9-----7-7-7-7\5-------|
|--7-7-7-7-7/9---7-7-7-7-7\5-------|
|-5--5-5-5-5/7--5--5-5-5-5\3-------|
Thats practically it. I usually add alot of other licks and change the solo up on my own, but this is basic. Well, i hope you have fun. this one should be easier than the rest. Enjoy!
