[Decay]

Just close your eyes, pretend that you're Mark Tremonti and you won't need any tabs.

[SchwiizVT12]

Lover is in Drop D half step down too.

Basic verse chords are:

444400, 444300, 000400, 000200, 222400, 444400, 444300.

Edit:

Should add that I have a sneaky feeling that Cry of Achilles is actually just half a step down, not dropped. That bridge riff (before Myles' solo) is being with a very distinct D# as the root note.

[mitch103]

Yeah you could probably be right, I just wanted to get the basic chorus progressions out.. this album is gonna be a bitch to learn/tab myles+mark's parts for all the parts of the songs!!

[Jhenrid]

I know their was an interview where they talked about about the tunings used so if anybody remembers which that may be a bit helpful.

[Dolo]

444400, 444300, 222400

How in the actual fuck he plays those chords? I don't have enough fingers

[austinjhnsn]

Bar chords ^

[fix]

Maybe I'll mess around this week with Farther Than The Sun. I like the Tremonti Bb riffing !

Also curious how the Bleed It Dry riff is played. Solo will be challenging to make out though!

[Dolo]

Bar chords ^

How you can bar 444400?

[austinjhnsn]

Practice, it's difficult but possible.

[mitch103]

I feel like its easier to play it without baring it. Instead I use all 4 fingers on the 444400, then for the 444300 i switch and move my 2nd finger to where my 1st finger was on 6th string and move my 1st finger to the 3rd fret 3rd string. Im trying to figure out if this can be played in an alternate tuning to make it easier though.

The tricky part of the verse is when you switch from 14 to 10 on the 6th string. Also, it looks like the tab says to play the 0 on the 4th string and the 11 on the 3rd string at the same time but thats just because i couldnt change the size to make it small enough since the 12/11 takes up too much space on the tab to keep up with the other stuff and i didnt want to redo the whole thing

Is this Drop Db or Standard Eb eventually?

[mitch103]

edit

[austinjhnsn]

What are the turnings of all the songs?

[mitch103]

I just made a major change to the verse that I just noticed was wrong that makes it ALOT easier. Most of the songs appear to be in dropped d half a step down, not sure on some of them yet though

[Dolo]

Bleed it Dry and Farther Than The Sun are Drop Bb (low string as Bb with rest of the strings tuned as in Eb), All Ends Well is Open D5.

[mitch103]

I agree^ Working on the prechorus right now

[mitch103]

I've changed my mind again on the tuning.. the prechorus just was way too hard to play unless the 5th string is tuned to Ab. I guess it makes sense though since the 5th string isnt touched at all during the verses
