Erm, Yeah. Now then this song is one heck of a beastly one, I never actually 
thought I would be playing this tune nevermind tabbing it out myself. Before 
you start tune your guitar to (low to high) GCDGCD.  I have tried to seperate 
each riff into its own bar, I think this keeps things simple and when you listen 
to the song and read the tab it should make more sense. Anyway stop reading this 
and get playing this astonishing tune!

LIVE VERSION
------------

In the live version of Duress the rythm guitarist picks out the notes on the C and G
strings from the chords in the intro section. I can't show the exact timing of it
here in the tab, you kinda just have a feel for it when playing the song. You can just strum
the chords instead and it sounds just as good.

RECORDED VERSION
----------------

In the Mezcal Head version the lead guitar follows the same notes as the
vocals, above the notes are the start of the lyrics where each section is
played to give you a brief guide, no rythm is shown here, just the notes
but its not difficult to figure out. Use a clean tone.
