Used with tone down..no distortion yet. Sounds cool with tremolo.

If you have a second guitarist, have him play this during guitar 1's playing..

--7-7-7-7---5-5---7-7--   x6  Pure downstrokes. Remember to not let them ring.

For the "I control..my future" part, play the mutes in the second verse.
Then for the break "Tonight..tonight..its on tonight.." Play the main chorus
notes, just once at a time. Listen to the cd for details. Im pretty stupid
when explaining this.

"I'm leavin..." - Play the chorus again
