The way this song is tabbed is fairly simple. Upon examination, you will find that some tabs are tied together or connected by lines. These are to be played by two (2) guitars. When this song is listened to through headphones, the listener can hear the top tablature panned to one separate ear with the lower tablature to the other ear. The parts where there are just one tab is basically both guitars playing the same thing. I still have yet to figure out the last solo. If anyone has the solo, please update it, or send it to me and I’ll update it. I didn’t wanna get TOO technical (but I did). Just listen to the song to get a good understanding of the song.
