This is all my own work, was a bitch to count the number of times

stuff was played. Any comments email me. Its about 98% correct so

dont rip it off as ur own.

Verse

Guitar 1: (clean)

When you play this riff throughout the song, constantly play

the A string whilst doing the fingering. Also, when the 7th

fret in hammered on from the 5th, the 7th is actually played.

This is also the case with the slides from the power chords

on the A,D and G strings where the 577 chord is played, not

just 'slid', as well as the slide from the 3rd fret to 5th,

again, the 5th fret is played.

I could have just not written them as slides but what you are

doing is actually sliding these notes but because the riff is

so fast, the notes are actually being played.

This riff carries on throughout the song except for the fill

in an chorus. When you reach the open A after the single 3rd

fret is played (just above), you go back to the beginning of

the riff but miss out one '0-0-0-0-5h7-7-7-' section.

The basic pattern to it is 3 'sliding power chords' then 1

'sliding 3rd fret' on the A string with the '0-0-0-0-5h7-7-7'

played 3-4 times in between each of them.

Verse

Guitar 2: plays this to start and over the top of Guitar 1.

The chords played that ring are with distortion on.

Verse:

Guitar 1 then plays its riff from beginning while Guitar 2

also plays but quieter (Guitar 2 is actually playing on the

same channel as Guitar 1) until they reach the distorted

chords where volume is turned up (or on different channels)

Chorus is then repeated.

Bridge:

Guitar 1: (distortion and palm muted)

(note the couplets with 4 spaces instead of 3 between them)

Guitar 2 plays these quite quietly:

E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|--/12-------12\10----------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------7-------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 1 plays the starting riff but this time there is no

single slide on the A string to the 3rd fret - it is just the

power chords and the slide up, the 577 are not played, just

slid.

On the 4th repeated power chord, guitar 1 does this to end

the riff:

(brackets = already played notes)

E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|------(5/7)-5--------------------------------------------|
D|------(5/7)-5--------------------------------------------|
A|(7-7-7-3/5)-3--------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 1 then plays this to end:

(Guitar 2 has stopped the sliding part an doesnt play

anymore) X4

B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|--5---10-------------------------------------------------|
D|--5---10--0----------------------------------------------|
A|--7---8---0----------------------------------------------|

Thats it. Ending is the best part - one of lostprophets best

endings. enjoy
