Touched And Left For Dead - Gehenna `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'` This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be... nothing is really seperated on this album, so it's kinda hard to pick out single riffs at times. You may find that this tab is a little different to the actual recording; this due to me adapting the song a little for a live situation. Comments and corrections or requests to Wither (brunor@sggs.wcape.school.za) Oh, tune down to D. I don't think this is necessary (it would be easier not to, especially with songs such as She Who Loves The Flames) but that's how I was tuned at the time of transcription. Riff 1: "A dying entity has left us..." 1. |-----------------------|---------| |-----------------------|---------| |-----------------------|---------| |-5-----5-----7-----7---|-5-----5-| |-5-----5-----7-----7---|-5-----5-| |-3-----3-----5-----5---|-3-----3-| hold hold hold hold hold hold Riff 2: |-----------| |-----------| |-----------| |-5-------4-| |-5-------4-| |-3-------2-| Riff 3a: "It is left friendless and unburied..." |-------------------------| |---------5-----------5---| |-----7-6---6-7-6---6---6-| |-5-8-------------8-------| |-------------------------| |-------------------------| Riff 3b: "Yet fully aware of its emptiness..." |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |-5-5h7h8-4-4h5h7-5-5h7h8-4-| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| Okay, I really *hate* transcribing synth to guitar, but since the keyboards make up a large part of this next piece, here it is. If you don't have a keyboardist, get one! or learn to play them yourself.
