AESTHETIC
As recorded by Between the Buried and Me
(From the 2003 Album THE SILENT CIRCUS)
Words by Tommy RogersMusic by Between the Buried and Me
Arranged by Between the Buried and Me
Transcribed by Gael Pirlot (GaelPirlot@gmail.com)
Gtr I (Db Gb B E Ab Db) - 'Shane Brown'
Gtr II (Db Gb B E Ab Db) - 'Paul Waggoner'
Gtr III (Db Gb B E Ab Db) - 'Lead'
Thank you to Shane Brown for transcribing the first 4 measures. This is an
incredible song off of The Silent Circus. Sweeps all over. Please leave me
feedback both through Metal Tabs and through e-mail to let me know what needs
fixing.
I tried to keep this as brief as possible, but none of the riffs really repeat.
The intro lead is fairly hard to get clean. Listen for the rhythm.
