Dredg - Matroshka (transcribed for solo acoustic guitar)

This song translates beautifully for a solo singer/guitarist.  The album version is so 

heavily laired that it's difficult for me to transcribe each individual part.  As a result I 

am tabbing this solo acoustic version of the song for anyone that wishes to be able to use 

it for performance.  Perhaps I'll do the full tab later on, either way this will also give 

you an outline as far as bass notes and everything.  Also please note the solo has that 

pedaled E note which isn't really in the recorded version, I just put it there because if 

your doing it on acoustic you'll want a little more body to the sound so it doesnt sound so 

weak.

Listen for strumming pattern and switches.  Big emphasis on the 'and' of 2

Intro/Verse 1 when singing it sounds fine to just use the regular chord progression to (see Verse 2)
