    Coheed and Cambria

Artist: Coheed and Cambria
Track: "In the Flame of Error"
As Played on: Year of the Black Rainbow
Tuning: Dropped D Flat

Tabbed by Lawrence Jones

The verse riff and bridges in this song can be very
difficult to hear.  I used Audacity (freeware) to
manipulate this track so that those parts could clearly
be heard.

Key:
/ - slide towards bridge
\ - slide away from bridge
. - palm mute
p - pull off
h - hammer on
~ - let ring
b - bend to sound like the following note
r - release bend
* - natural harmonic
v - vibrato

	Note: This can be heard just before the guitar
	      starts.  It almost sounds like ascream. (x02210@1)
