------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tandem - Protest the Hero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: FacetOfChaos Email: abcnumber4@yahoo.com Tuning: Half-Step down READ THIS INFORMATION PLEASE~ Pay attention to the time markers for each section. Should help you to learn the song and decipher it from text much more easily. -x2 = play the line twice. -x2S = play the entire section twice. -Sometimes I will bracket off a part and add an x2 or other multiple behind it. That means to play the bracketed part however many times specified. -Also there are first and second endings used in this tab. They're a fairly straightforward concept. Play ending 1 the first time, and ending 2 on the repeat. I notate these by bracketing off the ending, and placing a 1. or 2. above it. -If any of the above is confusing, listening to the section of the song while looking at the tab should clear up any problems. Protest songs are quite complex and I'll do my best to keep the tab as clear as possible. I'm sure that there are some parts that aren't 100%, but I think it all sounds pretty good. Slowed it down in Audacity but even with that, some bits can be hard to hear.

Transcribed it all by ear but used his tab as a starting point, to get a rhythm quickly, or occasionally to get an idea about what the hell might be happening in a section. It's tough to hear at times. Wanted to be sure to acknowledge his work. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | * artificial harmonic | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | r Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
