with thumb and index, flick the g string real quick with your middle finger

then dump the bar, hammer on the harmonic, and pull the bar back up until the

add some vibrato and shit to sound like dime

Post- solo: Figure out the strumming, it pretty much follows the syllables

of the lyrics

F# A G# B D E

All of the riffs and parts of the song are here, figure out the song structure.

I will try to tab some more songs from the album but it's a bitch because Dime

played around with the tuning so much...
