KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
My Last Serenade from Alive or Just Breathing
Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD)
This Tab is 99.9% correct, i have looked at every other and they are all wrong, not
completely, but still not all right. As a guitarist myself i play it and i have seen
it live. The bit im not so sure about is the tremelo bit on the into (you will see
below) but i think its right, and also some quick muted notes. The rest is 100% correct
and it all sounds cool!
