Song: Obsolete Band: Fear Factory Album: Obsolete Transcribed By: Mitchell Sirie Tuning: ADGCEA . = Palm Mute p = Pull-Off Every part to this song, in order, and how many times you need to play it is included in this tab. You really need to follow the song well, since the groove in this song is very stand-out, and missing even one beat will sound bad. Though, it's not a very difficult song. Only the Chorus is quite tricky at times. There is one other logical way to play it, but it's just as hard. And, I believe that the Chorus and Outro sections, just the chords, are the way they are written. Though you can play the Chorus the same way as the Outro, you can notice the deepness of the Chords. In the Chorus, the non-open chords on the D and G strings sound thinner than playing it on the A and D strings. I believe this is for dynamics, and to lead into the pull-offs. But if you notice the Outro, it is very deep and heavy, though the Chords are essentially the same as the Chorus, just on the thickest strings. I hope you pay attention to this, as it's very important to the dynamics of the song. And, when you play the Outro, play with up-down strokes, not all down strokes, it helps keep the heavy-riffage smooth. And for the tremolo, I've included the right ammount of tremolo picks, so study them closely before you go on a shredding spree. Have fun!

There's the whole *** thing. One of FF's heaviest songs to date, including the Archetype album. It's a very fun song to play, so crank the volume, pump the distortion, and SHRED!
