So, I'm not sure of what tuning or chords Azagthoth is using in this song. I also don't have a seven string guitar like he does. So, in other words, this tab is not that accurate. It's just to give you an idea of how it goes. I think the tuning is 3 steps down for a six-string, standard for a seven-string (at least it sounds like it to me). the tab is for a seven string. if you want to play it on a detuned six-string, just ignore the topmost line of the tab. there's 3 riffs and 2 fill in the song. here's the song structure: A x 19 times B x 2 times A x 8 times B x 2 times A x 8 times fill 1 x 1 time C x 8 times fill 2 x 1 time C x 1 time fill 2 x 1 time C x 6 times fill 2 x 1 time C x 1 time fill 2 x 1 time C x 1 time fill 2 x 1 time C x 17 times A: intro and main riff (he plays variations of this throughout the song) |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |--5---4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4-----2/5--5-5-5---5/7--7-7-7---4---| |--3---2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-----3/6--6-6-6---6/8--8-8-8---5---| | *he plays this part with a single guitar in the intro *(and in the verse stanzas) 2 times, then doubles it with *a 2nd guitar later B: "you scarred our existence" |------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------5---5---6-6-6-6-6-6--6---6-6-6-6-6-6--6--| |--5-5-5-5-5-5--5-----------6-----4-4-4-4-4-4--4---3-3-3-3-3-3--3--| fill 1 |-------| |-------| |-------| |-------| |-------| |-7-6---| |-5-4---| C: outro riff. he has the same picking pattern throughout,listen to the song to figure it out. |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| |0--1---5---4--| fill 2 |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |---5--5--5-5-----1--1--1-1----| I didn't tab the solo 'cause I think there aren't really any cool licks in that solo that anybody would play it's just weird, spastic playing with a chorus/harmonizer effect.
