In the world of music majors, this is not a mistake, it's called "micro- tonality." Either way it's a bitch to tune the guitar to, so my recommendation is to use the pitchshifter function available on many commerically-available sound editing programs (Cool Edit, Audacity, pretty much anything with a multi-track view) to tune the song to your guitar. Effects used: whammy, light chorus and/or phaser, distortion/over- drive. You can get by without a whammy, and I've shown the method of doing so here, but it's not going to sound as clean or tuneful as on the recording unless you're Superman (ie. faster than a speeding bullet). Chorus effect is noticeable mostly on the lead lines, but the rhythm parts have a vague but audible "ghostly" feel to them too, suggesting that there may be some light chorus or phaser applied to Som's part. Old Digitech products (like the XP-300 Space Station that Som uses) sometimes color/compress the tone in weird ways and leave digital artifacts; this may be what I'm hearing. Your mileage may vary. intro/main riff Am E5 F5 E5 Dsus d|--------------0--------0-------0-------0-------0-------5-----5~~| A|-----1--------0--------0-------0-------0-------0-------5-----5~~| F|-----2-0----4---4----5---5---5---5---4---4---4---4-----5-----5~~| C|---2---0--2--------3-------3-------2-------2---------7---7---7~~| G|-0-------------------------------------------------5---------5~~| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| SLIDE........SLIDE |------/////---20---\\\\\---|-------------------------------------| |-1-1--/////---17---\\\\\---|--13-----------12--------------------| |-2-2--/////---17---\\\\\---|-------------------------------------| |-2-2-----------------------|--10------------9--------------------| |-0-0-----------------------|-----(0)---(0)-----------------------| |---------------------------|--------(0)--------------------------| ^ tremolo picking throughout lead guitar |-----------------------20-19-17----19----20----------------------| |--------------------------------17----17-------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-17-16-14----16----17--------------------------------------------| |----------14----14-----------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| ^ This part can also be done with a whammy set up one octave rhythm guitar after trempicking part |-----(0)(0)(0)-|R| |------------------0--------------------| |------0--1--0--|E| |------3---3--5--3----------------------| |---------------|P| then |---------------------------------------| |---/2----------|E| |---/4---4------------------------------| |-0-------------|A| |-0-------------------------------------| |---------------|T| |---------------------------------------| repeat 3x bridge bridge lead |-9-----/----0-------------------|-/12--10--9-----12--10--9-------| |-7-----/----9-------------------|------------/10-----------------| |-7-----/----9-------------------|--------------------------------| |-7-----/----7-------------------|--------------------------------| |-0-----/----0-------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| ^ Rhythm should be easy to figure out.
