I am sure that this tab is 100% correct, except maybe for the solo, that was
really hard to figure out.

This is a 2 guitar song set up for 1 if you dont like it too bad figure it out 
yourself then.

Intro uses a trem effect set to 16th note with wah.

  (0:00-0:08) Intro 1 (121212 and 10101010 are 12s and 10s not 1s and 2s and 0s)
