• Song:

    Arrive Alive - I Have Two Shadows

  • Artist:

    Misc Unsigned Bands

These are tabs that explain roughly how it's played on guitar not including everything.
The things I did tab are 100% correct though!



Repeat this sequence
e---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------5---8---5---------------------------5-------------------------|
G-----------------------7---9-----------9---------------9p7--7h9--9p7-|
D---7-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------8--------------8---------------8----------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------|


After the above sequence, the second guitar comes in:
This is being repeated as well
e-------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------|
D----7-------------5----------5----------2--------------|
A----8------8h10---7-----7\5--3----3h5---0-----------7--|
E-------------------------------------------------------|





Tremolo picking section, third guitar:

e--12----------17----15------8----10---8-10-12----|
B-------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------|
Repeat this

e---12---------17----15------20-----19---17--12---|
B-------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------|
This is what's played the 3rd or 4th time (not sure, forgot)


After repeating the tremolo part twice some piano is added which is quite difficult to hear.
I advise you to let your emotions do some slow improvisation here!! The song is about 
feeling, so add your own!
This is an example of a string and the notes which you can improvise on:

e-1--3--5--8--10--12--15--17--19--20--22

I like the higher notes on the lower e-string especially for this song and I use a slow 
rythm for them using slides and bends quite a lot


After that at around 4:58 the 3 sequences stop.
This part comes after:

Guitar 1 starts first:

G--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10-10--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-5--|
D---------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------|

G---------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------|
A--7--7--7--7--7--7--7-7----------------------------------------|

After that guitar 2 comes in at approx 5:10

e------15------13------13--12----|
B--13------13------13------------|
G--------------------------------|  Repeated for some time
D--------------------------------|
A--------------------------------|
E--------------------------------|

At 5:17

e--------------------------------|
B----10-10-10--10--10--8--6--8---|
G--------------------------------|   x1
D--------------------------------|
A--------------------------------|
E--------------------------------|

e-------------------------------|
B----10-10-10--10--10--8--6--5--|
G-------------------------------|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|
e-------------------------------|
 repeat upper and lower
e-------------------------------|
B----10-10-10--10--10--8--6--8--|
G-------------------------------|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|


Distortion kicks in at 6:24

e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G----10---------5-----------------|    Repeat this sequence
D----10---------5--------7--------|
A----8----------3--------7--------|
E------------------------5--------|

This is btw done with 2 different rythms, just follow the drums..

There's also a lot of tremolo picking on the e-string on very high pitch notes, also 
distorted. I advise you to improvise a bit on this and play what feels right
I'm not going to tab all of that tremolo picking right there.


Part after that(8:32):

e--------------------|
B---10----11----13---|
G--------------------|  Repeat this part 3 times!
D--------------------|
A---8-----10----12---|
E--------------------|

e--------------------|
B---15----17----18---|
G--------------------|  This is the 4th in the sequence
D--------------------|
A---13----15----17---|
E--------------------|


After this the previous two sections are repeated along with tremolo picking on the e-string
