MORBID ANGEL - HE WHO SLEEPS
(2000 - GATEWAYS TO ANNIHILATION)
Version 1.0 - April 2001
On the album you actually hear two seperated guitars in the left and right
channel. However, I arranged most of the tracks for one guitar. In some
places the guitar tracks merged better than in others. Sometimes it was
unavoidable to transcribe for 2 guitars. But if you are only one guitarist
you can still achieve a heavy sound.
This song is performed on a 7-string guitar tuned down a half step
(Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb) - the guitar sound has quite some
midrange and lots of distortion going.
This is the first song I transcribe so if you have any corrections or
anything to say feel free to mail me : bpielczyk(at)gmx.de.
Some words about my notation style, which should be pretty straight-forward
and easy to read (I hope so *g*) - for more details listen to the record :
- Each "-" is a 16th
- / = Slide Up
- \ = Slide Down
- * = Palm Mute
- ~ = Vibrato
- WB-1 = Whammy Bar -1 semitone
- \3/ = Triplet
I hope other tabbers will follow with some more new Morbid Angel songs !
