E|-------------------------------------------------------------| This is a standout track on the "Demanufacture" album. It is decidedly different from most of the other songs on the album. It is slow, moody, dark, and ominous. Thus, it requires a bit of patience on the part of the guitar player. You might be tempted to rush through this song; avoid that temptation. Let the song breathe instead. Let your chords and notes ring out loud and fade into the harmony of the other instruments. As your playing may need a little more space for this song, your sound may need it as well. Try adding just a little bit of midrange to your tone. You can also experiment with (if you have them) reverb or chorus pedals. But be sure to keep the distortion very high (as always =) ). Control your playing, don't accidentally bend the strings out of tune, and take your time playing. Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D, F#, B) LEGEND: * -- palm-mute H -- hit-on P -- pull-off ~~~~ -- vibrato A.H. -- Artificial Harmonic N.H. -- Natural Harmonic Very slow (Largo, Grave) tempo Begin with near-inaudible whispers (presumeably Burton). Shortly after, keyboards enter in and play the melody line (in Riff B). Guitar abruptly slams in... Riff A: Let chord sustain and fade for quite a while (try to avoid feedback excessive, though, as this counters the fading effect which should occur) E|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------| D|--10-------------------------------------------------| A|--10-------------------------------------------------| E|--8--------------------------------------------------| Riff B: E|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------| D|--10-------10--9-----5-----8--------8--7-----3-------| A|--10-------10--9-----5-----8--------8--7-----3-------| E|--8--------8---7-----3-----6--------6--5-----1-------| Riff C: Fade out w/ keyboards and bass in unison with guitar E|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------| D|--3--------------------------------------------------| A|--3--------------------------------------------------| E|--1--------------------------------------------------|
