Artist: Avenged Sevenfold Song: An Epic of time Wasted Album: Sounding The Seventh Trumpet Hopeless Records Email: rexxdoggy@yahoo.com Last Update: 01/15/05 Yeah I saw that only one person tabbed this song out. It was a pretty good tab, but he left some stuff out. So I decided to tab out the song and everything he left out. So yeah, I also give credit for this tab to the other guy who tabbed this song out, Matt, ‘cause I used his structure for mine. Guitar I (DADGBe) Guitar II (DADGBe) Basic Keys: PM Palm Mute / Slide Up \ Slide Down Harmonic p Pull Off h Hammer On x Muted String ~ Let Note Ring (There are two guitars, but most of the time they play the same riffs. I’ll label the riffs that where the guitars are different. And also, the question marks after some statements just mean that I don’t know the right term for the riff) Intro |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------7---------------------------------------------------| |---0----1-1--0----1-1--x----1-1--0----1-1~---------------------------------| |---0----1-1--0----1-1--5----1-1--0----1-1~---------------------------------| |---0----1-1--0----1-1-------1-1--0----1-1~---------------------------------| PM --- --- --- --- (cont.) x4 Fill into verse (pre verse) |-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------| |---------/7--------------------------/7--------------------|---0~-----0-0-0----------| |---0-----/5--------------------0-----/5--------------------|---0~-----0-0-0----------| |---0--00-----0-2-3--0-2-3-5-1--0--00-----0-2-3--0-2-3-5-7--|---0~-----0-0-0----------| PM -- -- ----- Verse x4 |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------/7--------------------------/7------------------------------------| |---0-----/7--------------------0-----/7------------------------------------| |---0--00-/5--0-2-3--0-2-3-5-1--0--00-/5--0-2-3--0-2-3-5-7------------------| |---0--00-----0-2-3--0-2-3-5-1--0--00-----0-2-3--0-2-3-5-7------------------| PM -- -- Verse?? |------------------------------------------3p2p0----------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------3p2p0-----------------------| |----------------------------------------------------3p2p0------------------| |---0--0--------0--0--------0--0--------0-----------------3p2p0-------------| |---0--0--1111--0--0--1111--0--0--1111--0-----------------------------------| |---0--0--1111--0--0--1111--0--0--1111--0-----------------------------------| PM ---- ---- ---- Mid-Section |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-11-9-7--| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-11-9-7--| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-11-9-7--| PM ------ (cont.) |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------| Then Guitar 2 kick in after both guitars have finished the above riffs |-----------------------------------------------------2p0-------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------3-2h3p2-----------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------2---------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 1 (cont.) |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7- |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7- |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7- Guitar 1 (cont.) --------------------------| --------------------------| --------------------------| ---5-5-5-5-5-5-7-4\-------| ---5-5-5-5-5-5-7-4\-------| ---5-5-5-5-5-5-7-4\-------| Guitar 2 (cont.)
