Opeth - White Cluster
From the album "Still Life"
tabbed by Thomas Hjelm (teh0001@unt.edu)
http://www.geocities.com/azabua.geo/

Here's a tab of the last track off of Still Life.  The only
thing missing is the solos (as usual).  I didn't bother to
write out little nuances such as vibrato or slight variations
of riffs, sorry.  Also, I'm not an expert at spacing when
it comes to the timing of the song, sorry again.  Regardless,
this tab should be sufficient to learning the song.

**Riff order is at the very bottom of the tab.

***Send any comments or questions regarding this tab or anything
   else to teh0001@unt.edu.


Key :
  .  - palm mute
  ah - artificial harmonic
  b  - bend to note

 I just leave out the root on that chord, or change it
 to an open A - much easier :)
