Nice song, lots of thirds. There should be at least three differen
guitars in most parts, but it's hard to make out wich parts that are
played by guitars in harmony and wich parts that are not. (I notated
the main riff as not.) There might be one guitar playing the powerchords
in the main riff, but I don't think so.

There's nothing hard to this song except the solo, so...
UP THE IRONS!
