Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: rikky Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard this song is around 136bpm, in the key of C#m/Emaj. the other tab (chords v2) had the chords down pretty good, so i thought i'd throw out i play the riffs. the times mark the first occurrence, but the song is very sample based so they appear at points throughout the song. Riff 1 (0:04)

easy as that, just power chords. there's distortion and delay which makes it sound awesome. Riff 2 (0:32)

playing it the first way is easier for me (although it's a stretch on acoustic guitars), hammering the middle finger on the six and doing some fast alternate picking. the second way is better if you're planning on capo'ing 7 or you barre it yourself. if you do use a capo on 7, you can play version 2's chords like so (although they'll be high): A Asus4 D E in place of E Esus4 A B Riff 3 (1:16)

this is a very high synth that you'll miss if you blink. it's too soft for me to tab with full confidence, but this works pretty well.
