*this can also be done with whammy, but I will pretend the guitarist reading this has no whammy bar.

[2:29 - 4:15]

Everyone rings out the following 
(the long droning sound may be reverberated piano unless I'm wrong. Either way, it's d12)

In come Michael Gira's war cries after the cymbals swell a second time:

"HWAUAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAOOUOAUOAOAOAOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Then:

"HOOAAAAAAAAOAOAOOAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Then enters the tour de force of this whole section:
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


[4:16 - 7:44]


(this part will now be done in 6/8)

Guitar 2 plays a very loose part for a long time to the point where it's just power arpeggios at random:

    PM    PMPM    PM    PMPM    PM PMPMPM.   PMPMPM.  PMPM
E|-----10------|-----10------|------------|--------10------|
B|-----10------|-----10------|------------|--------10------|

E|--0----------|--0----------|--0---------|--0-------------|
              (or)          (or)         (or)
  (very softly at first to avoid any noticeable distortion)

After 7 measures, of Guitar 2's riff, Guitar 1 and lap steel / slide fade in the following:

   Guitar 1                  Lap steel / slide
E|------------| E|--------------|
B|------------| B|--------------|
G|------------| G|--------------|
D|------------| D|--15----------|
A|------------| A|--13----------|
E|--12b13b12--| D|--13----------|
               (together)


Then the lyrics enter. 16 total mumblings of Gira singing "oh the sun" or whatever he's saying.

Drums enter in with a ride after the third mumbling of "Oh the sun oh the sun...etc.)

Guitar 1 and lap steel can utilize slow random swells interchangably until the following:

Guitar 1 should strum soft *D minor chords every measure after the fourth mumbling of "oh the sun, etc."

Lapsteel does a swell pattern to cue in the sixth mumbling.

   Guitar 1                                                Lap steel / slide

E|------------| |-------------------------------|
*(until 6th mumbling)                               (swell pattern cues 6th mumbling)

  Afterwards, Guitar 1 strums this familiar swell after the seventh mumbling  "Oh the sun, etc."

    Guitar 1   
E|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|-------------|
D|---13---12---|
A|---13---12---|
E|---13---12---|


Then comes the moment of intensity: Guitar 1 will repeat this riff for awhile until the tenth mumbling:
Lap steel / slide should feed in the same swell pattern as above twice until the eleventh mumbling.

      Guitar 1   
E|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------------|
D|---0----x-x-x---|
A|---0----x-x-x---|

Guitar 1 repeats this riff after the tenth mumbling.

E|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|------12-14----12-14---|
D|---12-------12---------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|

Lap steel feeds in some harsh harmonic feedbackings until the thirteenth mumbling.
which cues up the snare hits.

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

[Chorus: 7:45 - 15:25]

Once the snare hits, there's three more mumblings. After the mumblings, Guitar 2 plays the following
for a long time:

E|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|------7---------7------|
D|--0---------0----------|
A|--0-------x-0-------x--|
E|--0-------x-0-------x--|
  (noticeable distortion at this point)

Lap steel rings the following:

E|---13-------13--------|
B|---15-15-15-15-15-15--|
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

From here: Guitar 1 plays the following:

                             >                                 >           >           >           >

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

(and the rest can improvise off these riffs, but these are the crucial riffs picked up)


When Gira screams "Bring the Sun!!!!!!" utilize any pattern of your choosing
As it gets louder and faster, you can strum an open D power chord.

Guitar 1 can utilize the following riff after the second aggressive screaming of "BRING THE SUN!!!!!":

E|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-------12---13-13-----12---13-13---|
A|---0-0----0-------0-0----0---------|
E|---0-0----0-------0-0----0---------|

Guitar 2 towards the end can strum this:

E|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------|
D|---1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1------|
A|---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------|
E|---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------|

And then to make it simple, as it gets faster, just strum an open D power chord (or an octave up, your choice)

To clarify, there are 32 "SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"'s.

FINALLY, after the final "SUNNNNNNNN" comes the two crashes from the beginning.

E|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------|
D|----0--| ª1ª--0----------------|-----0--ª1ª--0------------------------|
A|----0--| ª1ª--0----------------|-----0--ª1ª--0------------------------|
E|----0--| ª1ª--0----------------|-----0--ª1ª--0------------------------|
      (ring out)                   (ring out)                       

When the cymbals swell one more time, make sure you drag more of that last open power chord 
and headstock bends to create that dissonance necessary.

There's also hammer-ons and pull-offs on these following tabs:

E|--------------|-------------|-------------|
B|--------------|--3h4p3h4p3--|-------------|
G|--------------|-------------|-------------|
D|---0h1p0h1p0--|-------------|-------------|
A|--------------|-------------|-------------|
E|--------------|-------------|--0h1p0h1p0--|
              (and)         (and)
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

                             
                                 [[[[[[[[[TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTUD ]]]]]]]]]


[15:26 - 20:29]

This side of the song is especially important for the lap steel / slide guitar (whatever you're doing).
Bass also has a primary role in Toussaint L'Ouverture, but for now, this focuses on the guitar parts.

There's a lot of experimental playing in the beginning, like strumming the strings on the headstock
(or it could be the strumming of the piano strings inside of its chamber), even slapping the guitar?

The randomness and side effects should wind up creating this effect at points TOGETHER to cue Gira singing
"Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm":

E|---\5---| |---/5---|
B|---\3---| |---/3---|
G|---\2---| |---/2---|
D|---\0---| (or) |---/0---|
A|---\0---| |---/0---|
E|---\0---| |---/0---|
  (anything landing on D power chord, even anything that's an octave higher)

This will be done ideally 4 times, softer when Gira sings, until the sound bit of the horses enter the mix.

The primary aspect of this section is the lap steel / slide guitar utilizing the delay pedal and reverb
while strumming on the non-existent frets, immitating the horses neighing for over two minutes.

Best way to achieve this effect is to incorporate the following example as practice:

    Lap steel / slide
E|---9ss14~~~ssssss8--|
B|---10s14~~~ssssss7--|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|


While the horse immitations continuously grow louder, Guitar 1 fastly strums and crescendos in the following: 

    Guitar 1
E|--11-11-11-11-11--| |--18-18-18-18-18--|
B|--x--x--x--x--x---| |--18-18-18-18-18--|
G|--8--8--8--8--8---| |--14-14-14-14-14--|
D|------------------| (fast beyond reason) |------------------| (towards the end of the intensity)
A|------------------| |------------------|
E|------------------| |------------------|

Guitar 2 cycles the following during the 2 minute breakdown and slows down when the intensity dies down:

       (Guitar 2)
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|--12h13p12h13p12h13p12h13p12--|
A|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|
E|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|

           (and)

E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|----t13---t13---t13--|
D|---------------------| (when it fades down)
A|---------------------|
E|--12-12-12-12-12-12--|

The intensity is built off this minor 2nd / b9 interval difference, creating a microtonal tugging at the ears.
Not that it's intent for that purpose possibly, but it certainly has that kind of effect.

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


[20:30 -29:33]


From there, open D is held out, with some jingles, bass delay slide effects done twice, 
followed by whistle blowing.

Bass does this kind of rhythm (any guitar can copy it if need be):


E|-----------------| |-----------------|
B|-----------------| |-----------------|
G|-----------------| |-----------------|
D|--0--x-0--x-0-0--| (also) |--0--x-0-x-0--x--|
A|-----------------| |-----------------|
E|-----------------| |-----------------|

Guitar 2 does the following at any given point:

E|---------|-------|
B|-----3---|-------|
G|---2-----|-------|
D|---------|-------|
A|---------|-------|
E|---------|---0---|
    (softly ring out)

From here, there are random displays of some the following sounds done by Guitar 1 and Lap steel:


E|-----5---5-----------|
B|---5---5-------------|

There's plenty more to experiment with at any point in the song until Gira starts screaming "Ellos!!!!"

When Gira starts saying the final two "Freedoms," that's when the lap steel / slide can recreate
the horse immitations again, only this time it's starting from the low end of the frets and progressively
gets harsher and denser in tone.

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


[29:35 - end]

At this point, this is where the song's double climax starts to disinitigrate the song.
Lap steel / slide come in handy with intense effects once again.

Familiar territory with the fast strumming comes into place
Only this time it's the following from Guitar 1 and Guitar 2:

    Guitar 1                                   Guitar 2 
E|--16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16--| E|------------------------|
B|--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---| B|------------------------|
G|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--| G|------------------------|
D|---------------------------| D|--13-13-13-13-13-13-13--|
A|---------------------------| A|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|
E|---------------------------| D|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|
        (ring out)                         

Let it power through for less than 2 minutes, then let it chill a bit with Guitar 2 doing the following:


E|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|--0h13p0h13p0h13p0h13--|
A|--0--------------------|
E|--0--------------------|
      (ring out)


Then Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 fastly strum the following during the final climax
While the lap steel / slide goes wild:

    (Guitar 1)                                   (Guitar 2) 
E|--16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16--| E|-------------------------|
