Tabbed by: nibbleschew
Tuning: Standard
This 16:43 long song on this tab has been divided into 4 Parts To make
it easier for
to find where you are. I added names of things I thought of when I
listened and played
the section of the song. Within this song is some of the best, and
craziest stuff.
tab took me a long time to do, so make the best of it! OH and the
accuracy of when the
occur, because I must've got the leaked version. Good Luck and Enjoy.
*** Not Everything is Perfect, there are mistakes in here, however
these are just
to give you a good idea of how the song goes.***

complicated, fast and hard)

Guitar Solo @ 7:55 ------------------------------------------|This solo
is NOT correct,
just use the scale involved and to try imatate Omar, but I tried to tab
it as best I
but my patience is limited to how accurate this is.
HINT: Tremolo Pick!!!!! (it should sound close)

Play around with stuff like that for a while until you get the feel for
the solo. Its long
and complicated.
