Well, it turned into a complete overhaul, and then I saw Coheed live and had to overhaul most of my own tabs. So, now these tabs should be very accurate. I don't know much about the band's setup, but I do know Claudio uses a very 80's-metal-looking white Explorer, and both guitarists have killer tone and sustain. On with the tabs... s=slide b=bend h=hammer on INTRO... You could also play this riff on the A and D strings, but I saw them live and the guitarist definitely played this part on E and A. I couldn't see/remember much of it, but I've done the best I can: 2x e-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| A----11-11---11-11---11---12-11-|---11-11---11---11-12-14--12-11---11-12---| E--9------9-------9----9-------9|-0-------0----0-------------------------0-| e-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------------------------9---------| A-----9-9-9---9-9----9----9h11-9---7p0----------7-7-------7---------------| E-0h7-------7-----7-----7----------------0h5-5--------5-------------------| 2nd guitar, 2nd intro rep.: this part is probably played with an eBow. (Update: I don't think so - they just have a rediculous amount of sustain on those guitars.) Also, use a good amount of vibrato, esp. on the last note. e---------------------------|--------------------------------------| B---------------------------|--------------------------------------| G---9---------8-------6-8-9-|-11------------13---------11--9--8----| D---------------------------|--------------------------------------| A---------------------------|--------------------------------------| E---------------------------|--------------------------------------| e---------------------------|--------------------------------------| B---------------------------|--------------------------------------| G--9---8---6---8------6-8-9-|-11------------13---------------------| D---------------------------|--------------------------------------| A---------------------------|--------------------------------------| E---------------------------|--------------------------------------| x2 e----------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------| G--9-9-9--8-8-8--9-9-9--8-8-8--9-9-9--8-8-8---11---9---6---| D----------------------------------------------------------| A--7-7-7--6-6-6--7-7-7--6-6-6--7-7-7--6-6-6----9---7---4---| E----------------------------------------------------------| e--------------------------|---------------------------| B--------------------------|---------------------------| G--------------------------|---------------------------| D-----------------6--------|---9-----------------------| A---------6-7-9------9--7--|------7---6---7---6--------| E--6-7-9-------------------|-----------------------7---| e------7-----7-----7-----7-|---------------------------| B--------------------------|------9-----9-----9-----9--| G--6-6---8-6---8-6---8-6---|--6-6---8-6---8-6---8-6----| D--------------------------|---------------------------| A--------------------------|---------------------------| E-(9)----------------------|---------------------------| verse...use heavy palm muting.
