x4 means hit that note four times. I couldn't fit them
in because of the double figures.
Also, if you're wondering why your bass doesn't have
a 5555th fret... man, i dont know what to tell you. ;)

2:05 x1, then x4



As far as I'm concerned, this is the whole song.
There is a kind of half-arsed guitar solo for the outro, but it isn't special.
It's hard to duplicate that, it's hard to tab - because, basically, if you
get a metal zone pedal (the ones that heavy metal bands use) and turn
distortion up full, then you can just about not even touch the strings,
and that's what your guitar will do *laughing* :)
If you're in a band, just impro a better solo. There's no point
trying to copy everything note for note, but if you really want it...
I probably wont get around to it until college ends in a few weeks.
