"Absolute Zero" By Stone Sour Chords by DustyCarvin Key C# Minor/E major Tuning used (EADGBE) The original is tuned in drop C# Lyrics by AZlyrics And a video of Corey Taylor reading it as a poem. I beleive its on youtube. This is an acoustic version that I worked out one afternoon. It's fairly straight forward, I can play along with the recorded version and it sounds pretty tight. Any correction feel free to comment. Listen to the song for the rythem, I tried matching the chord change with the words but I'm only human. Solo in C#min. Though if played live acousticly it really needs a second guitar to fill in the gaps while soloing. My eyes started going crosseyed near the end of this so if I made a mistake please comment and I will correct it ASAP. Keep Rocking, DustyCarvin Edited 07/03/2015 After playing this song I have changed some chords. The riff is the same notes I just made it so its easier to play while barring the C#m Riff 1 C#m E|-4-----4-4---4----4|-----------------------------| B|-5-----5-5---5----5|-----------------------------| G|-6-----6-6---6----6|-----------------------------| D|-6-----6-6---6----6|--------4--4h5p4------4------| A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4|--4--7-------------7---------| E|-------------------|-----------------------------| Easy riff, played through various parts of the song, I usually play it in between the versus. Those of you might have noticed the riff has a G note in it. But Dusty, its in C#m, it shouldn't have a G note. Think of it as a C#m blues scale. Kind of like how Enter Sandman is in E minor but they play an A#/Bb in the main riff, same deal.
