add some vibrato and *** to sound like dime
Post- solo: Figure out the strumming, it pretty much follows the syllables
of the lyrics

All of the riffs and parts of the song are here, figure out the song structur
all songs that dime played are really hard to tab cause he played around with the
tuning alot
