Drop D/ Half step down Yeah, shadow of the day kicks ass! i love the song and the guitar solo(s) ~ = Vibrate PM (...) =Palm mute all B=Bend /=Slide up Just Palm mute at the bridge/talpiece of the guitar to get the sound. Updated: 8/3/2007 Thanks to JL Sevenfold You know..... some people argue that there is a "quiet" guitar played b4 the solo and say there isn't...or theye can't hear it....so...... if you watch them live or talk to figure it out. And, some people say its half step tuning...and other say its Drop D me....i use both sometimes....but it says better in Drop D...lol...so play it however you want to...or wut ever sounds better to you ;) Quiet guitar:57 SECONDS Eb---------------------------------------------| Bb---------------------------------------------| Gb---------------------------------------------| Db---------------------------------------------| x2 Ab-22222222--44444444--------------------------| Db---------------------44444444--00000--222----| PM..........................................
