IM not sure how long you have been playing guitar but in my opinion you should be heavily skilled in fingerstyle playing & you must be good with slapping. His thumb plays the bass notes and the others play the chords while slapping to maintain the beat.

Its an extremely hard song to play and yes Fire does a great job at covering it.

BTW, Are you in Drop C?

I would just practice until you think it sounds right and then roll with it.
A tab is like a recipe....It gives you the ingredients but you need to know how to cook to make it work.

Good luck

its an awful reason, i don't mean to be an asshole, but learning a song or just playing guitar in general in order to impress people degrades every other guitarist who plays for fun and because they love music

man...calm down...too bad there is no sarcasm button on the computer. just sayin that i got a bunch of friends that think they are badass at guitar and it woulda been cool to learn that and play it but its too crazy hard.

Mofatt, I can relate to ya'. I have this friend who is amazing at lead guitar and I try to impress him all the time. At the same time I love music and everything its comprised of. Don't quit though, just keep on practicing. It took me 5 years to finally get Tripping Billies down to where I can play it flawlessly. I still work on songs that I learned back in 96' I guess IM just a perfectionist though. Anyway, practice,practice,practice
