This song is pretty easy and it sounds great! It's fun to play, fun to sing, it has a cool video, but enough out of me, on to the song.
Intro:(lead guitar)
E---------------------------------------------------
B--------6-5------6-5-------------6-5------6-5------
G--5-3------5-3-------------5-3------5-3------------ Repeat.
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
One thing to remember about this riff is to let the notes ring. After you play the intro, the rhythm guitar will come in with a simple power chord riff.
Chords used:
C5: G#5: F5:
X355XX 466XXX 133XXX
Play a C5 for two bars while the lead guitar plays the intro and then holds the 8th fret on the B string when the lyrics come in. Here's the rhythm guitar part as it corresponds with the lyrics.
C5
The difference, between us, is negative one.
C5 G#5 C5
The math is simple...subtract attractive opposites.
When the rhythm plays the G#5 chord, the lead guitar does this:
-----------8---(let ring) The second time the rhy. plays G#5, it'salittle
--------8------ different. Sumthin' like this:
--------------- --------8--8------
----6---------- -----8------------
--------------- ---------------7--
--------------- --6---------------
------------------
------------------
Then, the pre-chorus, where Todd sings "Kingpin crumbles..." just play a continuous F5.
And now the chorus:
lead:
-11-10-11-10-11-10-11-10-
-------------------------
--8--7--8--7--8--7--8--7-
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
rhythm:
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
----------8-8-8-8------------------
-6-6-6-6--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-
-6-6-6-6--6-6-6-6--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-
-4-4-4-4-----------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-
Okay, after repeating that enough times, play the little pre-verse part again and the verse, then the pre-chorus, then the chorus and finally, we get to the solo.
In the solo, the rhythm guitar is trickier than the rest of the song. It plays a disconnected C but higher on the fretboard. Here it is:
-8------------------
--------------------
--------------7-8--- Keep repeating this until
----10-------------- the chorus riff comes in again.
--------10----------
------------------8-
The lead guitar plays a simple solo which is based around the intro riff. Here it is:
----------------------------------------13-12-----------13-12--15---
------6-5-------6-5--8--13-11-----------13-11-----------------------
-5-3-------5-3------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After the solo, you play the chorus a few more times and then, the outro.
Outro:
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8----------
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8--6-------
-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6--6-------
