If you don't mind man, how much was your guitar?

[amw294]

@ALastShadowPuppet £800.

[skavenger216]

@insidiousvertigo Indeed, this tab is HORRIBLY wrong, the main riff is the only part that is actually right!! Not slamming the video creator at all, btw, but wherever you got this tab is wrong.

[stevenward6789]

well i agree with SanreSmasher i think this guys right too

[ariexmae]

@skavenger216 soooooo wrong.

[Extremegerbil]

For those who want to get on with the lesson go to 1:13

[SnareSmasher]

@skavenger216 Hate to break it to you but this guy is right.

[vodoc]

@skavenger216 Then where can I fin a good tab?

[newborn54]

@martyn3480 wack LOADS of distortion on and it all kinda goes into one big fuzzy riff when you play it normal speed :)

[XuchihaXkillerX]

@skavenger216 yeah the tab was terribly wrong... htt[ignore this]p://tabs.ultimate-guitar[­dot]com/m/muse/stockholm_syndr­ome_tab[dot]htm has the right tabs (i used '[dot]' because youtube doesn't like people posting links -__-

[ZaHaTe]

nice man thanks

[martyn3480]

do you have any hints on how to play the main riff at normal speed?, i can do it fluently at half speed but cannot seem to be able to do it normal speed.

[ApacheBoneknife]

The verse is wrong.
