*This is the complete official solo for Seize the Day, and the ending solo.*
This is my first tab I'm posting up on this site. Hope it works out for you.
Tuning: D A D G B E
Legend:
...= palm mute.
b= bend.
[ ]= what the bend should sound like.
kb= hold that bend while playing that note.
gb[]= raise that bend another step to make it sound like the note in the brackets.
~= vibrato / ring.
/= slides.
( )= ghost note, or note on a hold bend being played.
h=hammer on.
p= pull off.
ah= pinch harmonic.
x= muted string.
tr= trill.
T= Tap.
This solo contains a lot of bends so practice on these bends. Good luck.

+The trill on the 10tr(11) means you do hammer ons really fast, but in this case it's just one
fast hammer on. +

+The bends above mean you bend the string up and down those times. Like a wave
like motion. Listen to this part of the song to help you out on those bends.

Guitar 1: Tapping Riff

+You put your fret finger on the small # (3, 6, 5), and you tap the
high notes (15, 18, 17) with your middle finger. Keep your fret finger
on the small # as you tap and release the high note. It takes some practice
to get this process down. It's almost like some Eddie Van Halen solos.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Guitar 1 does the Tapping Riff one more time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After the other guitars do their riffs, guitar 1 does these fast sweep picks:
In order to do these, you should know how to sweep pick, and alternative picking.
Also, you should know appreggios. This is all played by Synyster Gates.
