 This song isn't very difficult, but the main arpeggio is a bit fast.  Just play with it  
 you get the rhythm down. 
  
 Alternate picking is pretty essential if you want to play it smoothly. 
  
 Tuning (low to high): Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (drop D, half step down) 
  
  
 Main riff: 
 (acoustic guitar, layered with clean electric with barely any distortion.)

 Chorus: 
 (Acoustic strummed, with some tremelo chords for texture - ignore them.) 
 (Note: the chords are just Db and Eb.  Play them however you like.  This is what I play.)

 And then, you play the second chorus again. 
  
 That's it. 
  
 Not too difficult, right?
