The numbers above the measures are the time signatures. I know there is already a tab for this song on the internet, but in my opinion it is very wrong, so I thought I'd add my version for people to choose which one they prefer. By the way, guitar 1 = right channel and guitar 2 = left channel. Those two are tuned differently, making it harder to transcribe the notes. The solos are, of course, not written the way Cerrito and Hobbs play them but the way I like to play them. If you know better, please email me at: [email protected] Thanks to Michael King for the input concerning RIFF 2 ! Greatly appreciated ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PIERCED FROM WITHIN Tuning C# F# B E G# C# 2/4 ||----------------|| ||----------------|| ||------drum------|| ||------fill------|| ||----------------|| ||----------------|| RIFF 1 (play 2x) T=105 Guitars 1 & 2 : 12/8 C#||--------------------------------------------------| G#||--------------------------------------------------| E ||------------------------0h1p0---------------------| B ||3-----------5-----------------3-0-----------------| F#||1---4---5---3-------1-2-----------3-0---6---4---3-| C#||----2---3-------123-------------------4---3---2---| . . ... . . . . . . . . . |------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |--------6-----------5-------3---4---------------| |--------4-----------3---3---1---2---3---4---5---| |33333333----22222222----1-----------1---2---3---| ........ ........ . . . 4/4 |--------------------------------|| |--------------------------------|| |------------------------------1-|| |--------------------------1-2---|| |----2-1-----3-2-----2-1-2-------|| |123-----234-----123-------------|| ... . . ... . . ... . . . . .
