This is a great song by Apocalyptica, who consists of cellos.
I tabbed this song out for a bassist and 2 guitarists.
I left out the background squealing because frankly im too lazy to attempt it.
but im sure it sounds just as amazing without it.
It may not be 100%, but its close
all the tabs are to scale, meaning when a note on guitar 2/bass is directly
under a note on guitar 1, they are played at the same time.
