As I Lay Dying - Forsaken Tabbed by: rcw110131 Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE) (yes, I know AILD usually play in Drop C, but many songs on their new album are in Drop D, and even in Eb Standard on Within Destruction) Guitar I - Left Guitar Guitar II - Right Guitar Guitar III - Extra Guitar (Center) Aside from towards the end where I think there's some tapping parts in the break and final chorus, this tab should be 100% correct. I can't make those parts out right now, but I if and when I do, I'll update this tab to make the tab completely correct. And how do I know the rest is correct? Well, just understand that I wouldn't waste my time spending many hours analyzing a song note per note by slowing it down in Adobe Audition and then submit a tab that isn't completely correct. So on that note, enjoy/rate/comment!!! :) h - hammer-on p - pull-off \ - slide down / - slide up * - mute string (ie. stop note(s) from ringing) =============================================================================== -Intro- (0:00 - 0:55) ****** I'm pretty sure there are 3 guitars tremolo picking here, so to save space I'm putting all 3 into one tab....if you want you can even play it this way, it's just [obviously] much more difficult than what they probably did on the album (record 3 guitars separately and just layer them on top of one another) Guitar III: x16 x16 x16 x8 x8 x16 x16 x16 x8 x8 E|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| B|13---|15---|15---|15---15---|13---|15---|15---|15---15---| G|15---|15---|14---|12---10---|15---|15---|14---|12---10---| D|12---|12---|12---|12---12---|12---|12---|12---|12---12---| A|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| D|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| Guitars I + II: E|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| B|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| G|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| D|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| A|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|--5--|----/|8---------| D|-----|-----|-----|----------|-----|-----|-----|----------| THEN Guitar III: (same as above) x16 x16 x16 x8 x8 x16 x16 x16 x16 E|-----|-----|-----|----------| E|-----|-----|-----|-----| B|13---|15---|15---|15---15---| B|15---|15---|15---|15---| G|15---|15---|14---|12---10---| G|14---|14---|14---|14---| D|12---|12---|12---|12---12---| x4, then D|12---|12---|12---|12---| A|-----|-----|-----|----------| A|-----|-----|-----|-----| D|-----|-----|-----|----------| D|-----|-----|-----|-----| Guitars I + II: E|-----|-----|-----|----------| E|-----|-----|-----|-----| B|-----|-----|-----|----------| B|-----|-----|-----|-----| G|3----|-----|-----|----------| G|-----|-----|-----|-----| D|3----|-----|0----|3---------| x4, then D|0----|-----|-----|-----| A|1----|-----|0----|3---------| A|0----|-----|-----|-----| D|-----|-----|0----|3---------| D|0----|-----|-----|-----| ============================================================================ -Intro Riff- (0:56 - 1:12) Guitar I: E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|0-----------0h1p|0-----------0h1p|0-------0h1---1p|0---------------| D|--0-0-0---0-----|--0-0-0---0-----|--0-3-0-----0---|--0-0-0---0-3p0-| PM . . . . . . . . . . . .
