Tuning: E A D G B E

Capo: No capo

BPM: 200

    Main Intro and Verse chords - Barred C#m, A#, G#, G7. The technique for this for the intro section will
    be to hit the bass note of each chord and then almost immediatley 'flicking' the chord before muting. For
    the verse, the chords are the same but we will instead just strum each one twice. Intro Riff

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
