My little brother figured this out

"December" - Collective Soul

Transcribed by Dietrich Featherston

I am 13 and have been playing the guitar for a couple of
years now.

I figured this out within 2 or 3 minutes of watching the
music video on MTV.

"December" - Collective Soul

I'm not totally confident about some parts so any corrections are welcome.

riff 1 (clean electric):

e-|--------------3-----------|--------------3-----------|

riff 2 (slightly distorted):

e-|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
B-|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|

E-|--------------------------|--------------------------|

: (volume builds) :

I can't remember on exactly which note the muting stops...

riff 3 (this may not even be a guitar on the record :) ):

e-|--3-----3-----3--5--3-----|--1-----1-----1--3--1-----|
B-|--3-----3-----3--3--3-----|--1-----1-----1--1--1-----|
G-|--------------------------|--------------------------|

chord prog (acoustic):

Bass:

E-|--3-----------------------|--1-----------------------|

G-|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D-|--------------------------|--------------------------|
A-|--3-----------------------|--1-----------1-----2-----|
E-|--------------------------|--------------------------|

The bass starts mixing it up as the song goes on, but it's
pretty much just variations on the above.

riff 1 6X
chord prog 2X
chord prog 2X w/riff 3
riff 1 6X
chord prog 2X
chord prog 2X w/riff 3
riff 3 2X
riff 1 3X
chord prog 2X
chord prog 4X w/riff 3 and lots of adlibing...
riff 1

There is also another guitar doing some dabbling. I've tried to
make the timing accurate, but this is from memory.
