Slipknot - Absent Submitted By: Sqweeky EMail: Blindside831@aol.com This is an absolutely amazing song, especially compared to thier other stuff. Don't tune down, just play the root-6 chords as 6-root chords. There are loads of effects in this song, and i've tried to give you a general guide, but sorry if it's wrong. Intro (wild guess here)- Use phaser and distortion , ^= 1/4 tone bend. 0:00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6--4--6--4--6--0----6--4--6--4--6^-0---6--4--6--4--6--0---6--4--6--4--6^--0-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chorus- Use heavy distotion 0:15 1:11 1:58 2:53 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1--1--1/4--4--43--3--3--4p3--3---0--1--1--1/4--4--43--3--3--3- 1--1--1/4--4--43--3--3--4p3--3---0--1--1--1/4--4--43--3--3--3- Verse- With wah 0:33 1:29 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6--6--4h6--6---6--6--4h6--6---6--6--4h6--6---6--6--4h6--6- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Chorus- With slight wah 0:52 1:39 8-8-8--8--9--8--6---8-8-8--9--8--6---8-8-8--8--9--8--6---8-8-8--9--11--8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ play that through once, then go into the chorus with 1:01 1:49 8-8-8--8--9--8--6---11--8-8-8--9--8--6---8-8-8--8--9--8--6---11-8-8-8--8--9--10^11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridge Part 1 2:16 P.M- -
