Fucking get AIM you bum and I could send it to you.

__________________

ok i got that clip

what he does looks even easier than what i tabbed
note that i only tabbed the begionning sweep, not the rest

ill try get it tomorrow maybe the whole solo
well not tomorrow cuz im at a studio then bur ill give it a shot when i have the time

and its gonna be in D so by that time ut gonna have to move it all down a bit shouldnt be a problem right

btw, if u use bs player to play the clip, slomo it to see what he exaclty does
(see where he puts his fingers etc) ive found out some more solos that way

Ahhh, I just glanced at your tab and was like "what the fuck there is way more".

__________________

hehe yeah i jst did the beginning and the 2 different thingies are just things that COULD be it, but il give it a good try when i have the time, that solo sound so amazing i just have to

__________________

I gave it a pretty brief shot too. I can tell there's a couple of mistakes in it, but I couldn't be fucked giving this any more time.

__________________

i cant rili place those sweeps anyuwhere in the solo, but that might just be cuz im drunk

__________________

Damn those taps are fast as hell!

Good shit, put there are no taps, its all picked, you can see in the video.

__________________

taps??? u mean isweeps i think, or am i ruili that drunk

__________________

What? You're making less sense than usual. What solo?

__________________

hehe i guess im ril;li drunk aftwer all

__________________

No taps? Hmm, I thought for the life of me that he was doing tap slides in there. Oh well...

__________________

just go to sleep..

Nope, in the video when he gets to the e string of an arpeggio he starts to trem pick.

__________________

Jeasus H. Christ on a bicycle I will never be able to play that

__________________

im pretty sure that i can get that solo, just gimme some time, watching that vid cleared like 80% up without tryiong to play it so it should be ok.

ill start on it tomorrow

__________________

I love you.

__________________

Hmm... ok. I haven't seen the video, but goddamn does that sound like tapping! I'll take your word for it though.

And MTM, seriously, that isn't that hard to play with a bit of practice..... You just got to get that minor arpeggio down nice and smooth.

__________________

ok the solo is gonna take me a bit longer
kinda busy at the moment

__________________

There is no tapping and the tuning is drop b...

Well, I don't know who you are talking to, but the version I did IS in Drop B, I didn't know about the taps, but after seeing the clip for the first time yesterday, I realise there isn't. Damned if I can be fucked changing it.

__________________

I wasn't talking to ya man

Here is an mpeg-2 video of just the sweep part...it is about 3mb.

Wow thank you man, haha not bad this is much harder than i expected i'll give it a shot too together with the others we maybe figure it out

i wont have time for a while im afraid
so go ahead and tab the mofo, il be gratefull

__________________

I'mgoing to see Origin on Monday and I'm bringing my video camera since you cna bring them to this venue, and hopefully I'll get a change to talk to Paul Ryan about the arpeggios from the song.

__________________

DAMN! Good luck who ever is tabbing it..you'll need it

Yeah that's a good idea mate

That's odd but by watching this file from desecrated it seems that neither dropped B nor normal B tuning works???

Please Nigel... we need your help and counting on ya

For a second I was scared that you know my name but I forgot I have tabs on here from awhile ago.

I know everything about you i'm a tabber stalker...

Oh my god Paul Ryan is the man. He actually shows me in person before the show how to play the arpeggios. And he let me film all over the place even back behind the drumer. But according to him the Portal solo "rally isnt that hard". It's all based in A minor and I can only remember the beggining part.
