Sounds pretty good, capo at 10 is a biotch though.

Yeah I know, its real tough to play. I wish I had a beater that I could tune to raised B and then capo the 3rd fret.

This sounds good. Can anybody retab this so as the capo is on the 5th fret. I suck at trying to figure this out.

I like it, real nice job

One thing, with the end of the intro. You have it played like this:

Code: Select all

Code: 
E----------------------------- 
B-----3----------------------- 
G ----0------6----------------- 
D-----4------4----------------- 
A--5--5---2--2------------------ 
E----------------------- 
That last chord sounds kinda weird when I played it, so I switched it to something like this:

Code: Select all

E----------------------------- 
B-----3------3--------------- 
G ----0------0----------------- 
D-----4------x----------------- 
A--5--5---3--3------------------ 
E-----------------------
