The song is pretty fast, so maybe this can help you, Rivelution:
The trick I always use is to practice at low tempo. Start slow, if you make a mistake - go slower (twice as slow is a good rate for me) and repeat slowing down until you don't make mistakes. Everything must be perfect at slow speeds, otherwise it obviously won't be perfect when it's fast; pay attention to details when at slow speeds - they are later being automated at higher speeds when you're mind is not fast enough to handle them. It can be VERY frustrating to go so slow, but once you can play it with your eyes closed at slow tempo then you can try speeding up, but if you start making mistakes again - slow down, don't try to rush.
If there's some part that you particularly can't get through (it can be a few notes or for example those hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides), separate it and practice for a long time, I mean until your head gets so bored it and that it wants to explode. Seriously, if you're getting frustrated when practicing, then you know you're on the right track
The same rule applies, if you can't play it correctly - slow down. When you feel like you can't move your fingers anymore then you're entering a phase when you're practicing mind-hands coordination most. It is important, so hold out a minute longer and then you can put the guitar away. That has always worked for me and after a week I could play what I was trying to learn.
Here is my take on the song (tab, I can't make video
), I don't know if it's gonna help you or confuse you more though.
The whole song is just two riffs, but the guy keeps changing single notes throughout the whole song. If you want it simple pick one variation and stick with it.
As for official tabs, they're mostly just somone's interpretation of the song (albeit a professional) - same as any tab on the net or wherever - and can even sometimes be wrong, so i kinda have an issue with them sometimes.
True, that's why your own interpretation is often best
I probably haven't mentioned it, but I play guitar and drums. And no one from my family has anything to do with music, well my uncle does listen to music sometimes. That's why everyone keeps saying I'm a weirdo. Anyway, I got the idea from a nun. She brought a guitar to school once (I was 10) and played some songs. I immediately fell in love with it, started taking lessons on a classical guitar. When I started high school I switched to electric guitar and started playing metal. I guess I was impressed by all those guys playing so fast and I wanted to learn.
I was in a few bands, although nothing really came out of it (I'm a computer programmer by education), but this is the only thing I'm proud of in my life.
