Isis Not in rivers, but in drops, track 2 from "In the absence of truth" This song has 3 Guitarists playing on it (and lots of reverb too), so please understand is an attempt to tab it out for one guitar (with additional parts still). With "shortcuts" in transcription= x times. Listen to the cd and it will be all very easy except there's many parts. I haven't checked the videos on youtube to transcribe this but I spent a lot of time listening to it. I believe it has 90% of all the parts (the ones that are consistant and that are not too easy) and it is tabbed for Drop B. Enjoy. Drop B = B F#B E G#C# Bass intro then guitar slightly muted with OD or light Disto: -------------------------------------------------------| -10------------------------10-1010---------------8-88--|
