Dark Matter


From their 1996 album "Signify". Guitar 1(Steven Wilson): EADGBe (Standard) Guitar 2 (John Wesley) : DADGBe (Drop D) -John Wesley does indeed play this song in drop D. Since there's no low D in this song, I assume the reason is for more comfort playing the power chords. For this reason you can play the 2nd guitar part in standard. Just move every note on the low E string down two frets. -This song uses the time signature 7/8. -This tab is based off the live version played on their DVD "Anesthetize". -Chords shown using chord symbols are only played by the keyboards unless told to be played on the guitar. -This song can be soloed over in A pentatonic for beginners, and for more experienced soloists the chord changes are shown.
