Comments: This song is played on seven-string guitars, I assume, at least they were playing them when I saw them in September '98. The tuning is Bb, which is down 3 whole steps from the usual (Meshuggah tuning!). I tune my six string to the lowest six, so Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb. Note the fourth interval is between the 1st and 2nd strings rather than the 2nd and 3rd. You probably want some fat strings for this, no smaller than 12's anyway I'd think. Generally one dash is a 16th note or a 32nd note in length, so either ---- or -------- is one beat. Notation explanation: --------- -9:--4:-- Time Signature changes. If you don't understand, listen -8:--4:-- to the song. --------- -/= 3 =\-- Triplets. Play three notess in the space of two. ---------- -/= 6 =\-- Sextuplets. Play six notess in the space of four. --4"----- Tremolo pick. Pick the notee evenly and very quickly. --------- --3/5---- These are both slides to thee 5th fret, picking only --3//5--- the first note. --<2b>--- Artificial harmonic, bendingg the string up slightly. --------- --<3~>--- Artificial harmonic, with viibrato. ---p1r--- prebend slightly, pick the nnote and then release. --------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Tempo: slow Riff A Db|-------3-----4-----3-|--------6-----6-----6-----6-|-------4-----3-----4-|-- Ab|9:---0-----0-----0---|12:---0-----0-----0-----0---|9:---0-----0-----0---|-- Eb|8:-1-----2-----1-----|-8:-4-----4-----4-----4-----|8:-2-----1-----2-----|-- Bb|--Clean-Gtr----------|----------------------------|---------------------|-- | | | | Db|---3-----4-----3-----|----6-----------------------|---4-----3-----4-----|-- Ab|9:-------------------|----------------------------|9:-------------------|-- Eb|8:-1-----2-----1-----|----4-----------------------|8:-2-----1-----2-----|-- Bb|--Dist-Gtr-----------|----------------------------|---------------------|-- Db --|-------6-----6-----6-|-------9-----10|--------6-----6-----6-----6-| Ab --|9:---0-----0-----0---|6:---0-----0---|12:---0-----0-----0-----0---| Eb --|8:-4-----4-----4-----|8:-7-----8-----|-8:-4-----4-----4-----4-----| Bb --|---------------------|---------------|----------------------------| | | | | Db --|---6-----------------|---9-----10----|----6-----------------------| Ab --|9:-------------------|6:-------------|12:-------------------------| Eb --|8:-4-----------------|8:-7-----8-----|-8:-4-----------------------| Bb --|---------------------|---------------|----------------------------| Play Riff A 2x Then play: Db|--------6-----6-----6-----6-|----6-----6-----6-----6-| Ab|12:---0-----0-----0-----0---|--0-----0-----0-----0---| Eb|-8:-4-----4-----4-----4-----|4-----4-----4-----4-----| Bb|----------------------------|------------------------| | | | Db|----6-----------------------|------------------------| Ab|12:-------------------------|------------------------| Eb|-8:-4-----------------------|------------------------| Bb|----------------------------|------------------------| Riff B1 Db|-------------------------------------------|--------------------53------|-- Ab|4:-----9-----------------------------------|3:-/==3==\--4"--------4-64--|-- Eb|4:-5///7-------2---/====6====\-/====6====\-|4:----1--3----------------5-|-- Bb|---5///7---0---0---6-8-8-0-0-0-4-6-6-0-0-0-|---0------------------------|-- P.M . . . . . . . . . . . . .
