xEb Tuning
Alexisonfire featuring Gared O'Donnell from Planes Mistaken For Stars
The chord names I use should technically all be flat ie E5=Eb5, G5=F#5/Gb5 etc. Just
when people tab things out the use the chord names in standard tuning for simplicity :)
Slight Palm Muting and only little distortion, if any, and slightly quieter:
|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Play that twice
Then the drums kick in. A second guitar begins picking up distortion and scraping
plays random stuff etc with a little delay. The other guitar plays the riff again, but this
a bit louder and more distortion.
Play that 4 times, but end second and 4th times with:
|--------|
|--------|
|--------|
|2-2-2-2-|
|2-2-2-2-|
|0-0-0-0-|
It has to kind of stop-start-stop.
Now all the guitars kick in. Distortion and volume get much larger. There's also a
bit of piano near the end. He'll occasionally play the chords as full barre minor chords (I'm
100% that they're all minors, but they may not all be, he really only occasionally
it anyway), you need to listen for when.
They'll look like this:
E5: |---- will become a Em Chord: |0
|---- |0
|---- |0
|2222 |2
|2222 |2
|0000 |0
G5: |---- will become a Gm Chord: |3
|---- |3
|---- |3
|5555 |5
|5555 |5
|3333 |3
F5: |---- will become a Fm Chord: |1
|---- |1
|---- |1
|3--- |3
|3--- |3
|1--- |1
This loud/distorted/uh..."chordy?" dynamic continues till the end. Hold the last chord
a half second then mute it.
And that's the song! Comment, Tab, PM, Flame...whatever!
