------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beginning by Blue Stahli ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: EK Tuning: Standard (E A D G B e) NOTE: This song can be played in virtually any tuning. You don't necessarily have to re-tune to Standard if you're not already tuned to it; just transpose this to whatever tuning you may be in. I've divided this short song up into two parts. Part 1 - For this part, I've found that it sounds closest to the recording if you use a delay pedal and set your pickup selector switch all the way up on the neck pickup. Try to let all notes ring and use only a small touch of distortion. e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G|-7-----7-----7---|-5-----5-----5---|-8-----8-----8---|-7-----7-----7---| D|----5-----5----5-|----5-----5----5-|----5-----5----5-|----5-----5----5-| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| He repeats this 6 times. The first 3 times, he lightly palm mutes the notes. By lightly, I mean LIGHTLY. If you palm mute too much, then it doesn't sound good at all. After the first 3 times, he lifts the palm mute. Part 2 (starts at 1:21) - Remove ALL delay and switch your pickup selector all the way down to the bridge pickup. Again, let all notes ring. This part sounds a bit more "aggressive" than Part 1, so you may want to turn up your volume just a little bit. e|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| B|-15------15------15----|-13------13------13----|-16------16------16----|-15------15------15----| G|-----12------12-----12-|-----12------12-----12-|-----12------12-----12-|-----12------12-----12-| D|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| A|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| E|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|-13------13------13----|-15b-------------------| -15------15------15----|-13------13------13----|-----------------------|-----------------------| -----12------12-----12-|-----12------12-----12-|-----12------12-----12-|-----------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| That's it for this short song! If you've seen my other Blue Stahli tabs, then you may know that I'm attempting to cover most of "The Devil," so watch for some future Blue Stahli tabs! If you have a song off that album you want me to prioritize, have a suggestion for this tab, etc. then definitely leave a comment! TAB LEGEND ------------------- b Bend -------------------
