Faceless Tab by Gorguts . - palm mute / - slide up to \ - slide down to ~ - vibrato h - hammer on b - Bend p - pull off Suffixes for bend t - tap f - full bend h - half bend - Pinch Harmonic q - quarter bend t - tap bend * - see comment ^ - Hold bend r release bend x - Stuccatto ~ - vibrato bend , - slight palm mute () - ghost note, sustained note " - tremolo note px- Pull off to muted note + - Move picking hand closer to 24th fret This is just my interpretation. Ive tried, in places, to show picking patterns which I found to be essential in getting the sound. Of course, as this is Gorguts (Obscura) dont expect it to be precise. Just use it as a tool. You will need to listen to the CD for timing, accentuation, and harmonics. I have left all playing explanations at the end of the tab for easier reading. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:01 4 times |-----------+-------------------------| |-.---------.--------.----------------| |-9b_-------8b~r----9p8---------------| |(h10)--------------------h/6---/7-8--| |------5---------3--------h/5---------| |------0---------0---------(0)---5-6--| | . . . . | |-----------+-------------------------| |-.---------.--------.--------/9b-----| |-9b_-------8b~r-----9p8-----------6~-| |(h10)10---------9--------b6r---------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| . 0:10 * |-------------------------------------------------t--t--| |-------------------------------------------------22-18-| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-h3-h5--h2-h4---5nh-----h2-h4--h1-h3--0-(0)--0---------| |-h3--3--h2--2------5nh--h2--2--h1--1--2=/3--\1---------| |-------------------------------------------------------| 0:23 |-------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------- |-h3-h5--h2-h4---5nh-----h2-h4--h1-h3--0-(0)- |-h3--3--h2--2------5nh--h2--2--h1--1--2=/3-- |-------------------------------------------- Bass Fill: 0:23 |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |---------6-6--------7-| |-0h//5-5-8-8--5h8-8---| 0:26 U U D U |------8-(8)---------------------------------------- |------8-------------------------------------------- |-8----8----19nh-----5nh----6--6-6(6)--------------- |-9------------19nh----5nh------------6-6p4-\-3-3-2- |---------------------------4--4-4-4--4-4-4-\-3-3-3- |-7--------------------------------0---------------- U U D U 2 times ------8-(8)----------------------------------------| ------8--------------------------------------------| -8----8----19nh-----5nh----5--5-5(5)---------------| -9------------19nh----5nh------------5-5p3-\-2-2-1-| ---------------------------3--3-3-3--3-3-3-\-2-2-2-| -7--------------------------------0----------------| Solo U U D U |------8-(8)---------------------------------------- |------8-------------------------------------------- |-8----8----19nh-----5nh----6--6-6(6)--------------- |-9------------19nh----5nh------------6-6p4-\-3-3-2- |---------------------------4--4-4-4--4-4-4-\-3-3-3- |-7--------------------------------0---------------- U U D U 2 times ------8-(8)----------------------------------------| ------8--------------------------------------------| -8----8----19nh-----5nh----5--5-5(5)---------------| -9------------19nh----5nh------------5-5p3-\-2-2-1-| ---------------------------3--3-3-3--3-3-3-\-2-2-2-| -7--------------------------------0----------------| 1:12 6 times |----------------------------| |-.-----.-----.------9b------| |-9b----8b----9p8----x--8----| |--------------------6b-x----| |----5-----3------1-----6----| |----0-----0------0----------| | .

TECHNIQUES Riff 1 The plus signs tell you where to move your picking hand. Read tab explanation above. Play around to get the right pitch. Riff 2 Hammer on all double stops and then pick them as soon as they sound. *These dont sound like natural harmonics (And I cant get the pitch with N.H) So just tap hard on the frets with the side of your pick and hold the note for the amount of time needed. Riff 3: Figure out the rhythms yourself its easy enough. Riff 5 Rhythm can be kind of tricky to start with but listen to the song. Easiest riff in the song, if you can get the right muting. END
