| majormusic - 2005-11-28 | | This is tab, not chords. If you're gonna' post tab, call it tab, not chords. |
| majormusic - 2005-11-28 | | It's good, though. Good tab. I'm looking for chords though for the band at my church. They need chords. |
| spazboy20180 - 2006-01-09 | | crap man good job...i've heard this on the radio and i'm like "crap man cool song, i wish i could play it" AND NOW I CAN THANKS TO U!!!! *throws confetti :p |
| edgeguitarist05 - 2006-01-12 | | That is very well done. Nice Job, a 5.00 from me. And musicmajor why would you play this for a church service, its a christmas rock song? |
| ieatdirt - 2006-05-22 | | The tab is also from mxtabs.net |
| hockeyplayaz - 2006-07-04 | | awesome song. does ne1 know good sites for tabs? since mxtabs shut down i have been searching but nothing good came up. |
| ice_wiz - 2006-12-04 | | ultimate-guitar.com The best by a mile. |
| +SEAL+ - 2007-12-09 | | Very nice. Although you haven't marked out the pinch harmonics...you've just marked those as vibrato. And the part that you describe as "tremolo picking and sliding", I think is just shredding...really fast arpeggios. |
