Source: Metalindex (http://www.metalindex.com) Transcribed By: unknown This is a pretty cool song, but it sounds kinda weird with the bendy thing going on at the beginning. What I call Fig 1. is something that sounds like it might fit w/ the song. I don't know if the guitar plays that part w/ an octaver or not. 5b means fret 5, pluck, bend up 1/2 step. Listen to the song to get the rhythm of that part. You may want to use light distortion too (which leads me to believe the guitar plays that part.). If the guitar does actually play Fig 1., then the bass just rests during those parts.
