*notes*
I finally got their style down, and this sounds very correct to me.
When I play this I use the bridge pick-up and plenty of distortion. Palm
muted chords are still clearly heard w/distortion
At the end of this tab I have the whole thing written out again but this
one is complete with rhythm, note lenghts, and rest lengths.

P.S.-
This sounds very accurate to me (sorry about version 1 of Clone and Erase)
My proudest effort to date since 'Godpuppet'.
=============================================================================
--Now this is the version complete with rhythm--
*if you have a tab compostion editor like "Finale" or "Bucket 'o Tab" etc,
you can type this in and hear the whole song as it is played on the disc*
Note Name & Rhythm Symbols:
whole note - w *dotted notes will look like e or w,etc.
half note - h * *
quarter note - q rest - ^ underneath note length
8th note - e d - down stroke
16th note - s u - up stroke
32nd note - t
64th note - f
..and for those of you who don't use the American system of note names,
the translations are:
whole note - semibreve
half note - minim
quarter note - crotchet
8th note - quaver
16th note - semiquaver
32nd note - demisemiquaver
64th note - hemidemisemiquaver
Below the 6 lines of tab I have these 3 or 4 lines for:
|--------note-name-symbol-----------|
|------^-mark-if-it-is-a-rest-------|
|------*-if-it-is-a-dotted-note-----|
|---------down-or-up-strum----------|This line is only for chorus
Tuning: Eb

Fill 1
Riff B (gtr.1 holds last note)
Intro Riff
Riff A 4x
Riff D (Chorus 2)
Riff E x4
=============================================================================
extra notes:
Intro riff is done by only one guitar, then Riff B is both guitars heavily
distorted. I haven't decided whether or not it should be palm muted. I've
played it both ways and I usually just play it without muting.
For the chorus, there are two dotted 8th notes and three 8th notes (which
is the tripplet). If you don't know exactly how long those are supposed to
be you can figure it out by listening to the song.
I posted the tab without the rhythm andthen this version because I thought
this could become confusing if you want to just listen to the song.
I'll probably write this in standard notation sometime soon.
Finally glad to be able to give you a good tab for an LHM song. Hopefully I'll
be able to post more in the future.
