Ok, I started learning this song a few days ago and started playing it like this :

e------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D---4---7---7---9-9---12/9--12/9--12/9----7-7---9-9----
A---2---5---5---7-7---10/11-10/11-10/11---5-5---7-7----
E------------------------------------------------------

Riff C:
e------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------
A---2---5---5---7-7---10/11-10/11-10/11---5-5---7-7^---
E------------------------------------------------------


BUT! Today on Ultimate-Guitar, I saw THIS :

|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------ *this is
|------------------------------------------ the rhythm
|----7--7/9-9--12\11-12\11-12\11--7-7/9-9--
|-9--5--5/7-7--10\9--10\9--10\9---5-5/7-7--
|-7----------------------------------------
repeat once

|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|----5--5h7--7--10\9-10\9-10\9--5--5h7--7--
|-7----------------------------------------

repeat throughout the verse
rhythm once
|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------
|----5--5h7--7--10\9-10\9-10\9--5--5h7--7--
|-7------------------------------------------


They sound the same to me.... Can any of you guys help me out? Which one of these is correct?
 
You listen to Metal, and you've never heard "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath? :zombie:

If I knew where you got that cat thing in the other topic I'd soooo post it.
:lol:
 
Use the ultimate guitar version, theyre practically the same except the UG one has that first & last slide. And thats how they play it in the song.
 
:) in all seriousness i don't know that song, sorry man. I'm sure someone like Pablokers will though.

there you go keenan :lol:
 
They are both the same notes played on different parts of the fretboard, apart from the slides. The first example is playing that part G/G#, and the ultimate guitar version has that part being played with ascending slides, with F#/G. I personally play it G/F#, but either way sounds fine.

Also, the only other differences are the first example has a bend, and the second example has hammer ons.

So, either are correct really, just play it whichever way sounds/feels best for you.
