* Tuned Down - Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb *
This is a pretty easy tune of the new album, throughout the whole
song there are only two riffs. I will show the two, and you can
figure out the rest for yourself. I have seen other attempts at
this song, but I think this is the most accurate.
Main Riff of the Whole Song
Eb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3/5---------------3------------------------------------------------|
Eb-|------4--4--0-0-0----1--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------|
Second Riff, used in Chorus and at the end
Eb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db-|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-5-4-------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-5-4-------------------------------------|
Eb-|-1-1-0-1---1-0-1--1-1-1-1-1-3-2-------------------------------------|
Thats pretty much it, near the end it does the previous part, but without
going up to the G5 and F#5 (I Think thats it).
This is my first transcription, so please write me with and comments and
suggestions at BUGG_SUPERSTAR@S-GRIFFIN.COM. Enjoy :)
