the D string and 3 on the A string. However, not only does that not stay true to the original track, but it also messes up your bridge-riff overlap. [A note on the timestamps:] The riff parts end at exactly the ending mark of the timestamp. Hold the last vibrato fret 5 until the end. It's a good idea to get a timer next to you, listen to the song while playing, or just improvise altogether. [A note on timing:] I highly recommend listening to it for more fine-tuned timing. I, however, also suggest improvising part of the timing. Inscryption's soundtrack heavily relies on such slight deviations to bring life into the music. [A note on the percussion:] The original percussion cannot be performed while playing the track. It has to be done on a second guitar. You could, however, tap with your fingernails on the guitar body during pauses and vibratos. [How to do the percussion:] The percussion is done by muting all six strings, then strumming down once, followed by a quiet up-down-up. I recommend using your fingernails for the strumming (use all fingers except for your thumb). NOTE: The up-down-up is quiet only during the Riff. The Bridges' percussion is always harsher. The quiet sections of the percussion sometimes sound as a down-up. The remaining down-up is still present, but you could omit it for variety. [Bridge variations:] Bridge A: Downwards progression of the melody. Bridge B: Downwards then upwards progression of the melody. Bridge C: Like Bridge B but it ends earlier. Bridge D: Like Bridge B but the higher notes aren't played at all. Ending Bridge: Only lower notes, follows downwards then upwards progression. [Riff variations:] There are two different variations of the Riff: Riff: The normal humming of The Trapper. Low Riff: Fourth note of humming is a full step lower. [Intro]
