Here is the complete tab of Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. Did it mostly by ear.

The two solos are done by ear and I am 99% sure that they are completely accurate.

I spent hours making sure it was right so here you go and please rate it.

Update #1 - 7/25: I rearranged the solo a bit so it would a little more

sense and so its more organized. Gonna figure out the divebombs. I should

have them soon.

This song is played in Drop D for every guitar.
