Tuning (low to high) : B E A D G B
*This may not be the tuning Meegs uses, but it works for me.
The timing on here may be a little off, but just listen and figure it out.
Also, use the Courier font to view it correctly, or just open it using Notepad in Windows.
All the riffs are here.
If you try to print it out, it might not do it correctly.
Reduce the font size, but keep it in Courier
