Bullet For my Valentine - Venom Acoustic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys here is my acoustic tab from the title track of the last Bullet album.
Before you begin to learn this, I have to say that I have adapted this for me and so this is not exactly
the same as the original. And another point, I'm not english so sorry if there's some stranges sentences that
you don't understand. And finally, this is my first tab so don't hesitate to give me your opinions and if
there is some things to fix to make this tab better.
This song is pretty easy to play and sound good on acoustic.
I learned it by ear and by being inspired by the firsts tab avalaible for this song on Utimate Guitar.
About the song, I personally play it by mixing some of the lead and the rythm guitars.
I wrote all the song but do by following only the lead or only the rythm one or by mixing both like I do.
Enjoy!

Here, there is the intro riff played 3 times. But if you want to play the very beginning, you couldn't,
because I think this is an additional guitar recorded over the original ones. If you want play the intro,
personally, I let ring the final note of the end of the verse 3 during the first riff of the intro and
I play him from the 2nd time.
Hate you , hate you !!!

Chorus 3 : this is the chorus played twice, not that complicated.
Outro : play the intro riff (I personally play it without the palm mutes notes, but do it as you want) and
stop on the 2nd fret and let ring the note to close the song. Listen to the song and you will hear
when you'll have to stop playing the riff.
