Comments about this tab

He doesn't hit anything open so just play it in drop D.

Yes he does, check riff 2. And I put it in Drop D flat because that's what Blindside plays it in.

good job. it seems very accurate to me. the only thing is, I find the way you put the verse on this a little confusing. but still, a good job.

good tab, it seems 100% accurate to me, this is just something i do when my band plays it live. on the chorus i just play some octaves instead of power chords.

the strumming isn't exactly the same (i stum the octaves a lot faster) but you can play around with it, i know it's not how blindside plays but i like the way it sounds and you can play around with it more. just a thought though, good job with this tab
