Miss May I - Apologies are for the Weak Guitar Cover

Info:
Finally got my POD fixed! Turned out one of the boards under the foot pedals had moved and was not registering. Decided to do a Miss May I song, seeing as they are one of my favourite metalcore bands at the moment, with the release of their epic new album, Monument. I also tried mixing this one a little differently, switching between the left and right speakers a lot in an attempt to improve sound quality. I didn't play the little lead licks in the chorus, because I couldn't figure it out by ear, and I thought it would be better to leave it out that put in a half assed attempt.

Techniques/Tips:
- All of Miss May I's songs have really fast alternate picking across multiple strings, which I find quite difficult and can be very tiresome upon the arm.
- Make sure you have the right tone. Playing this song with the wrong guitar tone is just messy. Also be sure to palm mute to keep the sound as tight as possible.

Gear:
Guitar: Schecter Solo-6 (Black Cherry)

Tabs:
Although not perfect, the tab by Pete_KC on ultimate-guitar.com is a very good starting place. I used my ear, as well as looking at some other covers to figure out the rest.

Hey there is this guitar better for lead or for rhythm? And sweet cover btw!

[Dilpil01]

@Inyouiseekkk probably rhythm since its only single cutaway. Not bad for lead though.

Hey this is really good!! Can you give me some advice about alternate picking across strings- where it looks like  7 8 7 6 That's just an example I made up, but you get the idea.
