Trivium - Becoming The Dragon Tabbed by rcw110131 Guitar I - BEADGBE - Left Guitar Guitar II - BEADGBE - Right Guitar Guitar III - EADGBE - Solo Guitar 1 Guitar IV - EADGBE - Solo Guitar 2 This tab is for the ENTIRE SONG. Every other tab for this song has some major flaws and missing parts, like for example the kickass solo at the end. I'm pretty sure that the wah part of the ending solo is the bassist, but if you just use your neck pickup and crank up the wah it sounds pretty much the same on guitar. Hope you enjoy, please rate/comment. This took me a looooong time. UPDATED: 5/21/2007 - Fixed the intro tapping part (one triplet lol) and the ending solo, as discussed in the comments. Also [tried to] fix the display problems with the repeat brackets, hopefully it works this time. =============================================================================== -Intro- (0:00 - 0:06) Guitar I E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|9---------------|8---------------|9---------------|8---------------| A|7---------------|6---------------|7---------------|6---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| pm Guitar II E|------------------------|--------------------| B|------------------------|--------------------| G|------------------------|--------------------| D|------------------------|------------5---4---| A|7-----8-------7---6-----|------------3---2---| E|--0-0---0-0-0---0---0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0---------| B|------------------------|--------------------| pm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |------------------------|----------------------| |------------------------|----------------------| |------------------------|----------------------| |------------------------|------------11---12---| |7-----8-------7---6-----|-------------9---10---| |--0-0---0-0-0---0---0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-----------| |------------------------|----------------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . =============================================================================== -Intro Solo- (0:07 - 0:20) Guitars I + II __ E|------------------------|--------------------| \ B|------------------------|--------------------| | G|------------------------|--------------------| | D|------------------------|------------5---4---| | A|7-----8-------7---6-----|------------3---2---| | E|--0-0---0-0-0---0---0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0---------| | B|------------------------|--------------------| | pm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . x2 | |------------------------|----------------------| | |------------------------|----------------------| | |------------------------|----------------------| | |------------------------|------------11---12---| | |7-----8-------7---6-----|-------------9---10---| | |--0-0---0-0-0---0---0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-----------| | |------------------------|----------------------| | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . __/ Guitar III E|----------------------------|-----------------------------| B|----------------------------|--------10-------------------| G|--------12-11-9~------------|-----------12-11~------------| D|------9---------------------|------9----------------------| A|---10-----------------------|---10------------------------| E|12--------------------------|12---------------------------| pm . . . . . .
