song on a great album from AFI. these are normal chords. not bar/power chords.
strum pretty fast and when you get to the G's (with the Em after it) kind of
slide to the next chord. every now and then towards the end, "riff 1" is snuck in
before the solo. not every chord is in the right place above the words. some are
but don't put your full trust onto that.

Riff 1 (ignore this for now)

"The intro to AFI's "The Leaving Song Pt. II" features guitarist Jade

figure. While this technique came to symbolize the playing of metal guitarists
in the Eighties, it had noble beginnings with the likes of Eddie Van Halen
in the late Seventies as simply another tool with which a guitarist could
express himself. It is in this spirit that Pudet uses the technique here.

Sure, this solo guitar melody could have been played with a pick and
only one hand on the fretboard, but with two-hand tapping, the phrase becomes
more fluid. Each note follows into the next with a much smoother attack than

Tuning is:Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (low to high)
