Hard Act To Follow
**Tune Down Half Step**
A lot of power chords used so shouldn't be too hard to learn.
~ = vibrato (shake note as if with whammy bar)
+ = bend for appropiate pitchshifts
h = hammer on following note then release back to original
x = muffling (mute strings with pick hand when striking)
/ = slide fret fingers to next note
Intro(Once with acoustic then distortion after "yeah")
