This although it sounds easy is pretty difficult, as its very very fast.

The main bit in the beggining is too fast for me to play along, although I think that it goes something like this: (only play strings that are held, ie: dont strum)

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|---------6-6-6-------6------|
|--6-6-6--6-6-6--4-4--6-6-4--|
|--6-6-6--4-4-4--4-4--4-6-4--|
|--4-4-4---------2-2----4-2--|


The chorus I play with a bar chord, as it sounds just wierd the way that many tab contributions have it written, as I think that the chorus should be playing all of the strings in a strum rather than some power kind chords. these chords are G#m, C#m and D#m


|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|-66666666----------88888888----------|
|-66666666-66666666-88888888-66666666-|
|-44444444-66666666-66666666-66666666-|
|----------44444444----------44444444-|


It still sounds slightly off to me, esspecially the A#m part.
Anyone got something better?

Hehe, think you need to strengthen that strumming hand of yours w2dmb biggrin.gif

That intro is right, I just cranked up my Ibanez and jammed along punk.gif

The chorus sounds pretty right (C#5, G#5, D#5, G#5), though I think you might be right about playing it with barre chords. Something like this?:

-----------------------
-----------------------
--10---5---12---5------
--11---6---13---6------
--11---6---13---6------
---9---4---11---4------

A fifth is a powerchord. It's called a fifth because it consists of the root note and the fifth of that note (i.e. the fifth note in the root note's scale) e.g.

-----
-----
-----
-----
--6--
--4--

You can also play it with three notes: the root, the fifth, and the octave of the root (a note which is one octave higher than the root) e.g.

-----
-----
-----
--6--
--6--
--4--

Sorry for the offtopic.gif biggrin.gif
