This is "The Path to Decay" from Sirenia's album "The 13th Floor". It's tuned a step and a half down from standard with the sixth string tuned down an step to make it drop B. So from low to high it's B F# B E G# C#. x = left hand mute h = hammer-on p = pull-off / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend up or down (specified in the tab) * = palm-mute ~ = vibrato INTRO C#|------------------------------|--------------------------------| G#|------------------------------|--------------------------------| E |------------------------------|--------------------------------| B |----------2-0-2--2------------|-----------2-0-2--2-------------| F#|----------2-0-2--2------------|-----------2-0-2--2-------------| B |----------2-0-2--2------------|-----------2-0-2--2-------------| C#|-------------------------------|---------------------------| G#|-------------------------------|---------------------------| E |-------------------------------|---------------------------| B |-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--7---7--7-7---5---5--5-5--| F#|-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--7---7--7-7---5---5--5-5--| B |-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--7---7--7-7---5---5--5-5--| C#|-------------------------------|---------------------------| G#|-------------------------------|---------------------------| E |-------------------------------|---------------------------| B |-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--0---0--0-0---3---3--3-3--| F#|-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--0---0--0-0---3---3--3-3--| B |-2-0-2--2--2-0-2-5-2--2--2-0-X-|--0---0--0-0---3---3--3-3--| VERSE 1 1.

So that's it. The guitar solo has a second guitar playing a harmony in a few parts. I'll the second guitar out later. The solo is based on a C# natural minor scale (C# D E F# A C#) so if you want to figure it out on your own go right ahead.
