                             SOLIDARITY - Enter Shikari
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm aware this song isn't technically out yet, but I've heard it live,
and heard a lot of live recordings. I love this song.
Sounds accurate to me, comment and rate, kfx! :D

Basically, tap the notes in the C minor scale*, with the 3rd fret as the note that
you hammer-on to, then pull off to the open.
*Tap the 5, the 7, the 8, the 10 and if you're feeling saucy, the octave - 12.

- BREAKDOWN -
Bend the strings behind the nut to get the C#, the 1.
Maybe a floating trem could be used, I don't have one. D:

Sometimes live Rory throughs in a pinch harmonic at the synth part.
Palm mute the low C-only open notes.

Yeeeaaah, I'm too lazy to work out the fill, but that means you'll make it your own! :D
At least that's my excuse. It does sound better, and is more satisfying, to play your own fills.
Rory uses a SikTh-like tap-pull-hammer, string up, tap-pull-hammer thing.
I know the SikTh guitarist did have some influence on that ;)
I think that do do this it's some sort of 10 0 3 7 3 0 11 0 4 8 4 0 thing,
where it's a regular minor tap then up one chromatically, but I'unno.

Bend the 12's on the F string up a note, to match the 10 on the A string.
This part sounds strange without everyone singing and the rest of the instruments.
That's all the guitar's doing though.
Variate it, keep yourself interested!

Y'know? Just things like that. It definitely keeps you interested, it's
a fairly boring part to play as a guitarist.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tab, it's an excellent song.


- INTRO - Here tonight I clock a thousand heads
Here to unite, through common dreads
Now who's with me? (Ho!)
Now who's with me? (Ho!)

- INTRO (ptII) - Something sits inside, that's been growing for a thousand years
Now we can no longer hide the immediacy of these fears
Our names will not be written on water
And we don't need an ally (No way!)
One day I know, the dam will collapse
And we will beat the current!

- BREAKDOWN - Yes... what have you got for me?
Oooh! (live, YES MAN!)

And now the flood gates will open
RRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! (Inhale scream)
You cannot hold back the tide!
You cannot hold back the tide!

- Final Part - We will sing as one in solidarity! We will stand together,
No longer treading water, we're flowing with the tide!
And you can taste the night, don't waste the night!

And still we will be here, (we're not hiding) standing like statues

Solidarity, solidarity, we will stand together (We're not hiding)
(And still we will be here, standing like statues)
