HINTS: It's good to get yourself to the right feeling while playing; jumping, shouting and such stuff
really makes it better. Improvise dives and vibratos while doing Riffs:2

Tab explonation:

.   = Palm-mute/compalm-mute (I still don't know the difference)
(5) = Artificial Harmonic (A.H)
*   = Try to find another * with text and win an advice!
**  = Try to find another ** with text and win an advice!

Something wrong in the tab? Well I'm sure of that. Keep in mind that this tab isn't exactly from the
same position of guitar as it is in the DVD. I play it like this and think that this is easier.
