xArtist: Further Seems Forever Song: "Light Up Ahead" Album: Hide Nothing (08.17.2004) Tuning: Drop D I'm really surprised no one else got this first... Super easy and super awesome with the right guitar effects. Sounds best on electric, still half-decent on acoustic. Intro/Verse Guitar 1 - Lead Guitar (This is the best I can make out from the intro... I picked a repeating point (* = repeating point) for everyone to use to start the song and then you can loop it as much as you want to) E|-----------------------------------*-----------| B|---3-4-4-4-4-3-4-4-4-4-4/6-6-6-6-6/3-4-4-4-4---| G|-----------------------------------------------| d|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| Guitar Two - Power chords and fill (There is lots of extra lead guitar being played around during the verse, I recommend either use the Intro to replace it, or wait awhile and I'll fix it later. Guitar two should use major, heavy distortion for effect. If you actually use distortion, only one of each chord is nessacery. Otherwise, feel free to fill it in with short strumming.) "Take this heart of darkness..."
