A+Perfect+Circle - The+opening

Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 15:30:50 +1030 From: Val Newenham Subject: a/a_perfect_circle/the_opening.tab Song/title: The Outsider Artist: A Perfect Circle Album: Thirteenth Step Produced by: Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan at Perfect Circle Studios Tabbed by: Simon Newenham at; thebiatch007@hotmail.com Tuning: dropped `d' tuning, tune all strings down a further half step to Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. It's best to listen to what Howerdel is playing in the song and tune it to that. Note: in the recording of this song Howerdel has put in two guitar parts both very similar in sound and very hard to pick out. I have developed a tab to include as much as both guitars just by playing with one. This is all my own work and some parts to the song may be a bit wrong, as I've only had the album for two days. This is one of the best albums ever written and is defiantly up there with Tool's; Lateralus, so enjoy and e-mail me with any abuse or corrections. The correct strumming and timing has not been shown in the tab, they're just a general idea, the strumming is easily worked by listening to the song. And is a hassle for me to put down on tab. h - hammer on, p - pull off, / - slide up, \ - slide down, x - dud the note by placing ur finger over the string Intro E----------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------| G----7-7---7-7---7-7---7------7-7---7-7---7-7--------| D-----7-----7-----7-----7------7-----7-----7---------| A--5-----5-----5-----5----5/3-----3------------8-7-5-| D---------------------------------------8-----8------| Intro cont.
