[espn1337]

@tshippy36 made you weak in the legs to hear this awesome man i agree!

[SerendipitousSean]

[Hammy370]

@SerendipitousSean it is.

[heimbrygd]

Has he ever recorded this song in a studio?

[11mattwsc]

@KingCoff The tab I made was just posted to ultimate-guitar. It's not perfect but it's a start.

[KingCoff]

He/she who tabs this is a GOD, the tuning seems to be CGCGCF as someone previously stated.

[BasicallyAaron]

does anyone know how to play this? like...his version?

i would kill for a tab or sheet music or just the chords or tuning or something!

[blaze4404]

@BasicallyAaron same here man, i just discovered this verson of the song and oh my god i want to know how to play it. i think it might be standard  . . . maybe, i've only spend like 30 sec studying his fingers so im not totally sure

[blaze4404]

@BasicallyAaron or maybe open c like the guy below stated

[crapshooterblues]

Fuck, this guy just gets better and better...

[mrdeimos50]

Hes such a beast anyone who plays death letter is a beast:)

[epv1]

I need the tuning for this. It's so awesome.

[GoodCatGoneBad]

BRILLIANT!!

[joecerasuolo]

it looks like open C, he usually uses that a lot. I think hes tuned the high e up to an f to get a more dissident sound...

[jonathanross4050]

you were right the low f makes it. thanks

[JOS404]

This is by far the best cover of this song

[frontsummersault]

Wow. I love that riff during the verses. Jack is a pro with a piece of glass but that riff is insane.
