Title: Sever
Album: Unsolved

Another one from Unsolved, probably the most "rock" song on that album too.
Geoff plays the main riff with slight variations every time but I won't bother
to tab 'em all out. I'm sure you can figure them out by yourselves. The solo was
a little tricky to pick out because there is an echo effect on the guitar but
it's pretty easy so just go for the feel (use the C# minor pentatonic scale). Enjoy

D 7 11 14
A x 12 12
