This song uses 'Drop D' Tuning which is a great way of playing powerchords with 1 finger! Drop D tuning is exactly the same as standard tuning except you 'drop' the Low E by 2 notes to D. So we get the following tuning:
Low D - A - D - G - B - E
The tuning arrangement makes it easy to play most of the powerchords with just one finger - as you'll see in the ActionTab.

We've reduced some of the gaps where no guitar is playing to make the ActionTab flow better, this won't affect your understanding of the song. The difficulty will be getting to the speed of the normal speed version. Work on the riffs, and build up speed over time. You need a tight, punchy rhythm and to use 'dead stops' during the riffs (kill the strings by muting with both hands). Watch the video / core skills lessons on how to do this!
