*******THE TUNING IS IN DROP D FLAT!!! (Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)*******

I'm only saying that because I know there's gonna be some noobie at guitar who gives 
a one star rating cause he played it in standard tuning!


Key:
* = palm-mute
/ or \ = slide up or down
\\\\\\ or ////// = move finger down or up the string nice and easy (usually while tremolo picking)
