Notes
------

The intro features 3 guitars. 
Guitar1 is used to play the riff around the second fret. 
Guitar2 provides a powerchord accompanyment. 
Deep in the mix guitar 3 doubles the riff played by guitar1, but
up an octive. This can be first heard halfway through bar 4.
  
The verse sections are nominally the same. 
Guitar 1 has a clean sound and picks an arpeggiated Dsus2 pattern.
Let the picked notes ring as you play them. 
Guitar 2 is distorted and plays powerchords, these should be allowed
to sustain over the picked sections. 
The verses are tabbed for 2 guitars since the D5 played by guitar 2 
rings over the picking part, also the 2 parts have quite dissimilar 
sounds. These can be combined into 1 part.
 
For the chorus Guitar 1 plays chords and short melody lines, and 
Guitar 2 plays power chords.

The guitar solo is quite easy and is essentially 2 different phrases
repeated over a C5 to F5 chord progression.
