This sounds like it is played with two 6-string electrics and one
acoustic guitar. All have standard (EADGBE) tuning. This tablature
is my own work, it may be distributed freely.
Guitar Setup:
Acoustic - None
Guitar 1 - Sounds like you use a medium overdrive. On a Line6 pod, I
Used Brit Hi-Gain, no effects, 50% drive. This guitar
Switches between that and clean (chorus/verse respectively)
Guitar 2 - Sounds like the same overdrive setup - but with that weird
Chris Cornell sound, so I'm not sure how to get the exact
sound. This guitar is only used for Riff II below
Playing:
This is mainly a rythym guitar song. There are a lot of changes and a lot
of strange chords. So the hard part is remembering all the changes.
Only a couple of changes are physically difficult. But nothing
outrageous.
I am not a big fan of typing out the lyrics and putting the changes
above them, but since there is a change about every 2-4 words, it
seemed appropriate. OLGA rules forbid putting all the words. So I have
included the first few words, so you know where the changes are.
Now, onto the song....
