Bend note 13h - Hammer-on 12p - Pull-off 13/10 - Slide to next note 10~~~ - Hold note (7) - Ghost note, don't necessarily play it (x12) - Play 12 times Acknowledgment: The only part of this tab I take credit for is the revised intro riff. None of the tabs I could find online show that the intro is on one guitar, so here's my take at it. I borrowed the solo tab and chords from an unknown user. I modified the tab (and chord diagrams) to fit the dropped tuning, and polished it up a bit. Much thanks to the previous author.
