"Paranoid Android"
This version is designed so you can play it with one guitar so it will sound different.
/-bendup one tone _ /(.5)above-bendup semitone \-release
/\-bend&release
\ / (sl.)-slide \-slide without hitting second note
Riff 1
note: this is the best song of all time. I've seen many versions (or maybe one version over and over, you know how the internet goes), and they all are, in my opinion, wrong. Try playing it this way and see the difference. Also, some parts may be stretched out to show the relationship of when to play, but if you use your head, you can figure it out and give it the same beat as other similar parts.

The strum pattern changes every so often for this so just do whatever
its not very important.
