Artist: A Perfect Circle Album: Thirteenth Step Song: Weak And Powerless Tabbed by: Andrew (theglorifiedmalcontent) Tuning: 3 half-steps down - C#, F#, B, E ------------= Key =------------ h hammer on p pull off ~ let ring * stop string / slide up slide down <> harmonic used x percussive mute I am SO SICK of seeing tabs that have half of it ripped off of other people and the rest made up. Does anyone actually listen to the CDs anymore? To make this tab (and in fact all of mine) I boost the bass up way high on my computer (using the WAVs ripped from the CD) and listen to little bits at a time so that I KNOW it's right.
