                    (use your own variations, play loosley)


-------------------------------------------------------------
if you dont have a bass player
a second guitar can be tuned to drop B 
heavy C string dropped two semitones down to B
for this version of the main riff 
on heavy one finger power chords
using an octaver makes for real heavy punk

if you do have a bass player hes going to need a five string
for the low B and C or some seriously heavy strings!
