In Tears Bereaved by Dark Tranquillity from the album Skydancer tabbed by Ken Hoffmeyer (TheOldMansChild@aol.com) I have my guitar tuned to Eb (all down 1/2 step), although DT might play it in another tuning. I know most DT stuff is in this tuning though. ALMOST ALL OF THE SONG IS TREMOLO PICKED!!! I know many parts could be played on multiple strings to make it easier (such as Riff B), but I like the sound of the wound strings better so I usually stay on the lower strings. Simply move the notes if you want. The timing in the tab is VERY approximated, listen to the song and figure it out yourself. I spaced the notes out for a very general idea to help you along. I hope the position in seconds will be very helpful as I have always found it to be. Also, the first 35 seconds is REALLY confusing with timing so be careful. Riff J has a harmony that I am too lazy to figure out, and I left out a part that is too hard to hear around the 3:00 mark. But hey, it's better than nothing, right!? I only proofread this once, could be errors still. Oh, and I recommend viewing this in notepad at 1024x768 resolution or higher to make sure the lines don't wrap.

At 3:38, play Riff A VERY QUICKLY with endings 1 and 2, except add an open D string to the end, so the final ending look like this...
