Tabbed by: interlude46
Tuning: Standard
Intro: Matt will play an E minor pentatonic blues improvisation before the song starts,
he uses a Fernandes Sustainer to get the sustain and harmonic overtones, but an Ebow or
just straight playing would work too. Sometimes this is quite simple and sometimes Matt
will tap with his right hand too (e.g. Live in Rome); here's the HAARP version:

else bluesy; here's the HAARP riff:
