Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBD)
The song is definitely in Drop D. I think it's in Double Drop D. Having a D
on the high string makes the riff easier to play later on when things get
faster.
I'm certain there is a bass guitar layered on here, (listen closely to the solos)
which makes some of the verse portions, e.g. 0:19, hard to transcribe. I've spent
a lot of hours analyzing it, playing it and listening to the song at different
speeds using software. I've transcribed to the best of my ability, and feel like
it's spot on.
As for the solos, e.g. 1:20, I play them on the lower strings. It's sounds better
and I think it's how it should be. Alternatively, you could play it like this
so you can play closer to the main riff's location:

Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just screw me on the rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review.
