Key of D, 130 BPM
The entire song for both rhythm and lead is basic, creative spins of chords.
Please, PLEASE don't play the tab as is- it's written rigidly, so if you play verbatim, it'll sound incredibly lame in live set.
Anyways, here's the breakdown for the lead:
Intro & Verse: You're playing basic triads that are palm muted for effect. I did something different than Nigel for the ii (Em in this case)- I wrote the actual triad because I wanted the tension to be bigger than Nigel had it.
Pre-Chorus: You're just playing the individual notes of basic chord forms here. Very easy.
Chorus: I recommend only playing this if you have a rhythm guitarist on hand or someone else who can provide a strong harmony. It's a bit awkward for you to play notes like this with no chords prominently playing in the background. I kinda got lazy with the tab here by the way- be a little creative in the order of the notes for each chord.
Bridge: Standard build-up stuff. Nothing to really note here.
Turnaround/Outro: I decided to just have the lead and the rhythm play the exact same chord form here to make it more pronounced. Some guitarists don't like doing that, but playing the same thing with different guitars, amps, and pedal board can have a nice effect once in a while.
God bless,
