for the intro part thingie he uses his pick for the A and ring finger for the B string. its
kinda tricky to do at first but youll get it eventually.
All of the notes in the second part of the intro and verses
are played very quickly and each note that
is played is quickly deadend by the next note played. The
only notes that are to ring are 3 notes in the second part of
the intro that I will identify with the letters (ri) after
each note. Also, all of Intro;Part 1 rings.
I'm going to tab the intro,verses,chorus,lead rhythm chords and
end of the song where Fred talks. I've never really tried to learn
the leads but I think they're played in D minor Pentatonic or
mabye D of Ted's world I'm not sure. Help me out if you know it,
I have alot of stupid attacks. Walk soft and shoot hard.
