C# standard tuning



((first riff's intro fill))

C#|---------------|
G#|---------------|
E |---------------|
B |---------------|  it's probably all single-string downpicking on the 6th
F#|2----2----2----|  not so sure about playing this string,
C#|0-54-0-45-0-3--|

[Verse Riff]
I know, I know... this one isn't exactly like it's played on the record,
but the difference is just a minor detail and I think it's more satisfying playing it this way.
It gives it more of an edge for me...
C#|----------------------------------------------|
G#|----------------------------------------------|

B |2-23~~~~~~~~2-236~~~~~~2-23~~~~~~~~2-23672~~~-|
F#|2-2---------2----------2-2---------2----------|
C#|0-0---------0----------0-0---------0----------|
   stop the other strings with the right hand before picking the single strings

[Chorus Riff]
Palm muted on the record, I play it open because it's more satisfying
[note: one of the best single-string tremolo picking riffs of all time!]

*I think the original plays the last two notes on the sixth string and
just unfrets the vibrato by bending the open string with the finger 
(or slides towards the first fret, dunno)
but I prefer to play it this way and pick softly the open string instead.
