------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ebon Coast - Andy Mckee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: mike Email:guitarin41@hotmail.com Tuning: - BEADF#B - -Standard Baritone Guitar Tuning (Also works in EADGBE for standard guitar)- Mckee plays this song on a baritone guitar, its longer scale allows it to be tuned much lower than a standard acoustic. Baritones are expensive and rare. This song can be played on a normal acoustic. You can tune down to BEADF#B (3+1/2 steps down i think) but this low tension on the strings of a standard acoustic may cause some buzzing. The song can be played just the same in standard tuning EADGBE on a standard acoustic guitar but obviously will be in a much higher pitch. I have tabbed out everything up until the bridge of the song (coming soon) I realize some of the beat notes (x's and 0's on mainly 6th string) might be a little off. Just get the basic melody down and once you can play that then try to add in the beat. This song takes a lot of time to learn, i would suggest using this tab in conjuction with the Ebon Coast Tutorial Video that can be found using google video. I also tryed to mark then end of certain sections in the song that are repeated by putting corresponding letters in parenthesis at the end of the section. Hell of a fun song to learn and play Good luck Key: () = Natural "touch" harmonics x = Muted slap on string v = Muted slap on string using left hand finger / = Slide up to H = Hammer on to INTRO: B
