    "Enemy" by Days of the New was the first song I learned how to play from the Green Album. My sister and her ex-boyfriend were having an argument in the backyard (which was pissing me off because it was lame) so I barricaded myself in my room and thought I'd try to learn a difficult song. I basically wanted to learn it because of the ridiculous solo at the end of the track which took a long time to perfect.
    You'll be glad to know that solo is included here.
    Tuning: B F# C# F# A C#

    Darryl, you are an amazing guitar player. I love DOTN. Your cover of 'Enemy' is beyond my wildest dreams. I hope Travis gets a chance to hear your passion one day. I'm sure he'd be proud.

      @@joshestess Mike Starr dying in his house didn't do him any favors either not that it was his fault but you know. I'm actually from Indiana and he did some time at the farm a prison there and while I was in I spoke to a guy who was locked up with him said he was still just an addict inside too. Had women that were sending him in money and just doing speed. It's really sad man cause he's such a bloody good musician.
