Tune the guitar to
Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Db as this is the tuning that Chris uses for Screaming
infidelities and The Best Deceptions as well as some other songs. *it is crucial to use this exact tuning... so
get a chromatic tuner if you have to and get it tuned up. then you can play these tabs along with the
CD to get a better understanding of the strumming because I will not fill in
strumming patterns.

*please note there are some 2nd guitar parts on top of Chris' initial rythym guitar. These include harmonics and short
melodies. I apologize if there are any
mistakes but I am quite sure that it is correct. Enjoy
