www.lotusvibes.com LOTUS "UMBILICAL MOONRISE" GERMINATION now i recognize most of this song is pretty jammy, but i'm just going to lay out the basic few riffs that seem to show up more than once or twice, and the rest of the song is just improvised in the same key. also, most of these main riffs have effects over them, mainly a whole lot of delay, which makes the parts a bit hard to hear. the guitar is also played very stop-start, meaning the guitarist doesn't let the notes resonate for very long. he lets the delay act as the resonating. so don't try and hold the notes down for too long. you'll know what i mean if you listen to the song. i am 99% sure about this tab, and if you have a correction, please feel free to post it, and i will change if necessary. listen for timing. ____________________ intro riff / right before main riff e-------------------------| b----12----15----13----15-| g-12----12----12----12----| d-------------------------| a-------------------------| e-------------------------| main riff e----15----------------------| b----------15----13----12----| g-12----------14----14----12-| d-------12-------------------| a----------------------------| e----------------------------| "wind-down" riff 1 e----15~----------------| b--------15~-12h13~-12~-| g-12--------------------| d-----------------------| a-----------------------| e-----------------------| "wind-down" riff 2 / pre-intro riff e--------------------------------------| b-------------12h13-/15~-13~-12h13p12~-| g-------12h14--------------------------| d-12h14--------------------------------| a--------------------------------------| e--------------------------------------| and sometimes before they go into the main riff, they play this: e--------------------| b-12h13~-12~---------| g------------14~-12~-| d--------------------| a--------------------| e--------------------|
