Tuning:Here is Stephen's REAL tuning G#,C#,F#,B,E,G#,C#. Thats 4 1/2 steps down
from regular tuning and 2 1/2 steps down for 7 string. I play these on a regular
Guitar so I don't have the extra C# but it still sounds 99-100% correct.
 
Note: You gotta play this song with style or it wont sound right.
 
Intro
Guitar 1         each time you play it bring in a little more distortion
                         The last time around the end changes a bit.

Then at the end he plays:
its kinda a freestyle so just fool with it. He lets off the 12 sometimes
(watch the writing sessions on the CD).
