Chimaira - Cleansation (1 guitar)
==================================

 
Album - The Impossibility of Reason
Tuning - C G C F A D
Effects - Wah, for intro to solo, may want to add some delay when you play solo
Use a lot of Distortion, I think it sounds better with the mids turned up so the 
solo cuts through..

Solo's are back!!!!


P - Palm Mute


This is how I play it.

Intro - after some feedback

Riff A
repeat a few times (listen to track)

In this part of the intro, Palm mute the open C power chord
tremolo pick the open G string, then use pinch harmonic and
vibrato on the 5 to get the squeely sound.  After the 
Pinch harmonic 5^ I slide my fingers down from the 7th fret
before starting up on the PM C, 4, 3 riff.

When playing on the single C string, I bend the 2 slightly - I think it sounds closer
the the CD this way...

Repeat The previous Riffs, and end the riff just above by hitting an open C chord
and let it ring until you start the solo ;>


SOLO (I think this is right!!!  and haven't found it completely tabbed anywhere so
if have any other ideas let me know!)

Start with this, bending the C string up a step to make the power chord and pressing your
wah down at the same time, let A and D strings ring.

Use finger tapping (with your right hand [R]) on this:
I use the index finger on my right hand to hit and pull off on the 16th fret, 
while my left hand (index and middle finger) is ready to do the 13p12h13 when 

  R          R     R           R     R           R          R           R           R

If you are good enough you can use octave chords here, much easier with single notes:

Start at 9 then tremolo pick as you slide up to the highest fret you have!!!!
