AN ADVISE!: A-|--------...
E-|125-5-5-...
If you found something like this ---> /s
You'll have to make a slide (from fret 12 to 5 in this case)
When instead of a chord I put (N.P.), it means that you don't have to
play any chords there
USEFUL INFORMATION: Guitar 1 (The one who plays the riffs) plays with
soft distortion.
Guitar 2 (The one who plays chords) plays with no
distortion
These are the chords
