Artist: Coheed and Cambria Track: "Elf Tower, New Mexico" Album: Second Stage Turbine Blade Recorded LIVE Tuning: e Flat v 1.0 NOT COMPLETE - Check back for an update. Tabbed by Larry Jones This tab was compiled from watching two different live videos from the 2011 SSTB Neverender tour. Most of this tab, including the entire note-for-note finger picked intro, was taken from the Dallas, TX show. The bridge was pulled from the Kansas City, MO show. From watching other videos, this song seems to played slightly differently every time they play it. Claudio also seems to mess this one up quite a bit. Since this seems to be such a varied song, don't be afraid to experiment with some of these parts. You certainly do not have to play it note for note as I have transcribed it. Feel free to view my Youtube cover below if you need help playing it. http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/coheed_and_cambria/elf_tower_new_mexico_acoustic_tab.htm -- (My Cover)
