------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Decrystallizing Reason by Emperor from the album IX Equilibrium ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by Jørn André Størdal Email: jornandrestordal@hotmail.com Allright, this is one of my favourite songs by Emperor, so that's why i decided to tab it! And btw. Please be kind, this is my first tab. :) I'm a little bit insecure on figure 5 and 6. I'm not sure if i got them right, because was so fucking confusing. :P Anyway, here's the tab :D Tuning: E standard Figure 1: 4x e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--6-3-2----7-7/9-9----9/10-10-10\9-9---------------------------------------| A|--6-3-2----5-5/7-7----7/8--8--8-\7-7---------------------------------------| E|--4-1-0--------------------------------------------------------------------| Figure 2: x2 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--6-3-2----------7-7/9-9--------9/10-10-10---10/12-12----------------------| A|--4-3-2----------5-5/7-77777777-7/8--8--8888-8-/10-10101010----------------| E|--4-1-0-00000000-----------------------------------------------------------| Figure 3: x2 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-6-3-2------------------4/-------------------10---10-------------------4/--| A|-4-3-2------------------2/--------------------8----8-------------------2/--| E|-4-1-0-0000000000000000-----0000000000000000----0-----0000000000000000-----| ................ ................ . ................ e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------7/9-9-9/10-10-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------5/7-7-7/8--8--------------------------------------------| E|--0000000000000000---------------------------------------------------------| ................

And that's it! :D Hope you enjoyed the tab as much as i did when tabbing it! :D A rating would be nice too btw. :) e-mail me for corrections if you find any. As said before, I think I messed up figure 5 6, but it's possible that it turned out alright anyway. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | .
