Intro:
There are essentially three sections to this song apart from the intro (which I don't
know how to play but it may just
be thrashing all the strings open). Here is an example of all three sections:
S= slide
Note- The whole tune includes a large amount of tremolo picking

| this song is inspired by the band Placebo. The main riff of the song is very Brian Molko-esque and the 'Self Healer' part relates to the term 'placebo'. great song!! 1 | |
