MORBID ANGEL - HE WHO SLEEPS (2000 - GATEWAYS TO ANNIHILATION) Version 1.0 - April 2001 On the album you actually hear two seperated guitars in the left and right channel. However, I arranged most of the tracks for one guitar. In some places the guitar tracks merged better than in others. Sometimes it was unavoidable to transcribe for 2 guitars. But if you are only one guitarist you can still achieve a heavy sound. This song is performed on a 7-string guitar tuned down a half step (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb) - the guitar sound has quite some midrange and lots of distortion going. This is the first song I transcribe so if you have any corrections or anything to say feel free to mail me : bpielczyk(at)gmx.de. Some words about my notation style, which should be pretty straight-forward and easy to read (I hope so *g*) - for more details listen to the record : - Each "-" is a 16th - / = Slide Up - = Slide Down - * = Palm Mute - ~ = Vibrato - WB-1 = Whammy Bar -1 semitone - 3/ = Triplet I hope other tabbers will follow with some more new Morbid Angel songs !
