TSUN! Thank you, thank you ,thank you!! *virtual hug* .toj.

Tsun I have a question at the solo part no matter what I do it sounds strange when i play it, i don't have any special effects just a normal overdrives, is that why it sounds awkward? or it is just my bending?

^ Hmm you would have to show me... But i would think maybe your bending. I can't be sure.

I already figured it out, I need effects to make it sound right, what effects do you use? So that I will know what to buy, I never used effects on my entire life LOL xD

I have a ZOOM707II multieffects pedal board. I only use the basic Distortion and some Hall or Echo effect.
When u're bending that part, make sure both strings r ringing. Don't accidentally mute 1 string.

thanks for answering, umm, am I going to bend the two strings? or just the G string? xD

Hold 1 string but bend the other.

ok I will.. Arigatou sensei!

thanks for the tab.. great help..

i went over to watch your video and that is some pretty cool strumming on the second part of the verse. could you give me a breakdown on what you actually play? i can only catch some small dead notes... I've only been playing for less than a year.

Also: do reckon it is important to actually know all the locations of the chords? is this mandatory for all guitarists? i prefer to do shreds and licks so i never ever can be bothered remembering chords besides some barre chords XD

I play a combination of barre chords and power chords in the verse. Are you just unsure what version of the chords I used. If that's it then I'll note the chords where i used power chords. The chords you see with a "5" below are power chords. The ones not marked by "5" I used barre chords. Note that power chords can have 2 forms, the 2 stringed and 3 stringed.

And it's useful to know chords.

sorry i was so unclear (though that helped alot too ), i meant your strumming style. XD

Generally it is like this. d for downstrokes and u for upstrokes. One marked with an x on top are muted. And I added chords below them to indicate chord change. Hope it's not confusing.
------xxxx----x---
d d dudu d d u
C-----------D------

that is the most clear thing i have ever come across.
your explaining skills are unmatched OTL

thank you very much for the help.

if you need help on finding out what notes any songs has - feel free to ask, i have relative perfect pitch.

@HollowKenshin: You mean perfect pitch?
I have relative pitch. But would die to have perfect pitch or also called absolute pitch.

i only know all the notes that the violin cover, so not absolute pitch - i dont figure out notes by relation - i just know them.

whats that called then?

i wouldn't want absolute pitch, anything that is slightly off tune hurts your ear.
