I've seen several tabs of this song in other websites, but they're not complete
because most tabbers only write main riffs or solos; it seems that they can't
hear all the guitar parts during this song.That's why I decided to make this tab
I'm proud to say it's almost 100% accurate, and you'll find the tabs for all
guitar parts heard in this song.
