TAB by Jason Kent
Lots of techno stuff, not so sure what is guitar and what isn’t, but
heres tab for it.
In much of the rythm of this song, about 3 or more ‘intruments’ play
the same part with differnt sounds. The bass plays the same thing as the
rythm (So I would assume). So, if you needed a bass tab, just play the
bottom nots (tab wise) of the rythm parts on your base. Remember, the
bottom for strings of a guitar are the same as a bass, just an octave
lower. Anyway, here’s the music.
Standard tuning (EADGBE).

Here, on the v’s you shake the whammy bar and at the last twelve you
lower the bar.

Super fast awesome solo that alternates from two guitars with different
tones is played here. It would take me a year to tab this thing out 😛

I haven’t found a very efficient fingering to play these notes, but
here is what they
sound like. Maybe try barring the 1st fret, holding the G-3 with your
ring finger, and
use your pinky to play the A-3 and A-4
Repeat that a bunch, then after that there are these 2 lightly
distorted chords.
