7-string tuning:
GCFBbD#GC
Before you comment, yes I know this song is originally played on an 8 string guitar, but the tuning my 7 was in allowed me to match the octaves of those low pitches in the bridge all the same.

So I've loved this song since I first heard it in the Kino der Toten COD Zombies map back in about 2012. I took on the challenge of learning something entirely by ear for the first time ever with this song last week. This means I used no tabs, no YouTube videos for reference, nothing but my ear to learn the notes and picking patterns of this song. To most experienced musicians, learning a song at this low level of difficulty entirely by ear isn't a big challenge, I know; but I have never learned a song ENTIRELY, strictly, by ear (all though I have learned bits and pieces and only used tabs as general guidance with other songs), so this is something kinda new to me. After I finished learning the song, I looked up other people's covers here on YouTube to see if there were any different interpretations. Except for Kevin Sherwood's actual playthrough video, everything I found sounded incorrect and/or was clearly played in the wrong tuning. So I decided to video this and post it, providing the most accurate fan-made cover of this song I think you will find. Hope you guys enjoy, and I hope some fellow guitarists out there can use this to help them learn the song!
