This is the tab for biffy's awesome cover of weezers buddy holly. Theres some really
riffing in this, with some tricky timimg, so you should listen to the song to get a good
of the rythym.
Tuning - Drop C, i.e. CGCFAD
Tab symbols
/=slide up \=slide down h=hammer on p=pull off ^=bend

intro:
part 1:

-6-9-6---6-9-6---6-9-6---6-9-6\-|
-7-7-7---7-7-7---7-7-7---7-7-7\-|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
part 2: Listen to the song for the proper rythym, don't get hung up on playing the 10
6 times, it's just to show the notes played. Use the same logic for part 3.

then riff 1 again, once. then, i can tell you what chord to start on but after that your
your own, just keep strumming fast, slide up the neck slowly and then just mess about
the strings high up, that tends to sound quite close.
