Strapping Young Lad-Wrong Side

Tuning:Open C major (C-G-C-G-C-E)

Stuff:
b=bend ()=what note to bend up to
h=hammer on
p=pull off
T=tap with picking hand
~=vibrato
/=slide up
\=slide down
/\/\/\=whammy bar

Certain parts of this song require a 7-sting guitar tuned to G-C-G-C-G-C-E,
I'll include variations for those with a 6 string, it won't sound exactly like
the song, but it will fit.

Solo

he tremolo picks most of the solo, which is why there are such odd intervals of the same notes
(such as the 12's at the beginning)

This is where he uses the low g-string on a 7 string guitar (he goes down to a b flat)
This is the riff for a six string guitar (once again, fits but isn't the same as in the song)
Also, sorry for the people who have a 7 string, as i don't have the tab for this part.

Bridge
He uses the 7th string again to go down to c flat, but for 6-stringers just do:
