Song: In The Shadows Band: The Rasmus Album: Dead Letters Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Tabbed by Andrew These guys are an awesome band, check them out! They have one guitarist, but there are several guitar parts in this song and they're all tabbed here. I've put two guitars in, with the 2nd guitar alternating between doing what could be synth, and some distorted guitar bits. 1st guitar is usually on top, 2nd just below. Listen to the song, and figure it out! Please rate this tab, and be fair. :) Rock on! Edit: Made some changes to the verse chords - now just single notes. Thanks to Steven Alldis (Jetzt) for that. Also, made major changes to the main riff. Instead of using powerchords, it's just heavily distorted single notes. It took a look at several videos of live performances to convince me, but it is how it's played. Powerchords sound better on an acoustic though. * = palm mute \= slide down ~ = tremelo picking (#) = Harmonic on that fret eg. (7) would be 7th fret harmonic. x = left-hand mute Intro - Clean 1st Guitar, 2nd Guitar with some effect or maybe synth. Starts with..
