AFI - MEDICATE
Tuning half step down
Intro - For the first 8 or so seconds the intro is played in reverse. Then: (Might be
guitar playing an octave up on this):
eb--------------------------|
Bb--------------------------|
Gb--------------------------|
Db----7---10-9-7------------|
Ab--0---0--------10--10-10--|
Eb--------------------------|
play three times, then:
eb--------------------|
Bb--------------------|
Gb---------7h9-9-9----|
Db----7--7------------|
Ab--0--0--------------|
Eb--------------------|
...then go back to this, three more times...
eb--------------------------|
Bb--------------------------|
Gb--------------------------|
Db----7---10-9-7------------|
Ab--0---0--------10--10-10--|
Eb--------------------------|
...then...
eb---------------------|
Bb---------------------|
Gb--------7h9-9-9---9--|
Db------------------7--|
Ab--0--0----------0-0--|
Eb---------------------|
during the second repeat of the intro, the backing guitar goes a little like this:

I also noticed on the last repeat of the chorus, right before davey says "Medicate,"
1:11) the guitar does a slide thing like this:
---------------------------|
-10-10-10/13-13-13-13-----|
-10-10-10/14-14-14-14-----|
