This Applies to the following 2 Lines (Riffs):
----------------------------------------------
*The bass/root notes sometimes sound like a separate guitar when played
in stereo but not when played in mono, therefore its impossible to truly
know how they recorded it. This mono-stereo difference could be caused
from a 3D space enhancer such as Q-sound.

/////////// Alternate Versions for Middle Part/////////////////////////////
Ok, here are two versions of this middle section.
The first version attempts to split apart the 2 guitars(its possible
it might even be three guitars, or that this part is played in a
different tuning...impossible to tell). The second version ignores
the separation of gtrs, and arranges them for 1 guitar.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official AT THE GATES tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
