*NOTE:
	The guitar can also be tuned differently, but only for the rhythm guitar.
	Get your tuning hands ready.  First, tune down to D-tuning.  Then tune your
	guitar ONE FULL STEP DOWN!!!  The only thing is you would have to play the starting
	riff a little differently.  Any other information would be appreciated.
