STORM CORROSION - Storm Corrosion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Aays

My favourite song off the new record. Done entirely by ear, so forgive any
mistakes, though I feel that this is fairly accurate.
I believe Mikael uses a classical nylon-string for the most part, and pretty much
the entire thing is fingerpicked except the solo.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This first half is played at hyperspeed, so get those right hand fingers flexing!

Whenever this riff shows up, it can also be played with an open B played after the open
high E instead of E on the D string (like I tabbed out in the last part of this measure)
Both ways sound correct to me, so just pick whichever pattern is easier for your right
hand to work with and stick to it throughout the song.

A louder steel string guitar later joins in.

Play the first two open notes really fast with your thumb and forefinger.
Repeat till that dissonant keyboard chord takes over.
Well there you have it, one of the most beautiful songs ever written tabbed out in full.
Rate, comment, and most importantly ENJOY! :)
