MA PETIT MORT
by Karma To Burn
From the album Karma To Burn
Tabbed by Ian Nault (slavemachine@hotmail.com, www.geocities.com/slvmachine)
This is one amazing song. When listened to it sounds rather complicated but
actually it's easier than it sounds. Again, the best way to play a tab is to
listen to the song while playing to figure out timing (which is the one
thing tabs don't show that well). Verse B is kinda wierd, but as always if
you listen to the song, you'll get it.
Drop D
p=pull off
h=hammer on
/=slide up
\=slide down
b=bend (half note unless otherwise specified.
Here's how the song goes:
Intro
Verse A x2
Chorus
Chorus End x2
Verse A x2
Chorus
Chorus End
Verse B (look at tab to see timing for this part)
Ending
Intro/Verse A:
The intro is muffled or quiet or something like that. As for the sound right
at the beginning, just screw around and try to find something that sounds
like it.

Verse B (Quiet Bit):
Guitar 1:
This part is repeated throughout the whole Verse B (minus the open D chord,
that's only at the beginning). After the open chord rings, the little riff
is played, follow by the three notes that are played in a random order, then
the little riff, three notes, etc. till the end of Verse B.
The timing (the way I counted it) is: Open chord lasts for 16 beats, the
little riff/three random notes is 8 beats and is played 14 times.

Guitar 2:

only once.

Ending:
The ending is just Verse A played twice, and at the very end just rip an open D.
