Soundtrack - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean w/delay and reverb) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) *Note* All guitars on this track are PRS Custom 24's. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. The guitars on this track pretty much define the "Meteora sound" - the clean stuff is really atmospheric, and the distorted stuff is really thick-sounding. Guitar 1 does the clean parts, Guitars 2 and 3 are doubles of each other on the distorted parts. There are really only 3 parts to this song, and there isn't a lot to say about them, other than some of the chords being pretty unusual - The first shape played by Guitars 2 and 3 in the choruses requires a big stretch from the 7th to the 12th fret (warm up that pinky before you play this one!), and the minor 3rd to sus2 movement within that shape creates a pretty cool voicing that goes from an Abm7 chord to an Ab7sus2. On the second half of the riff, Guitars 2 and 3 move to an Esus2 using 4 strings instead of the usual 3 that Brad typically uses (it's essentially a B5 powerchord with an E in the bass), and the top note also moves from B to Bb again (just like it does over the Ab5 chord in the first half of the riff, but moved up a string), which creates a SUPER nerdy chord for music theory junkies like me - an Esus2(#11). On the bridge/outro, the first chord of the riff played by Guitars 2 and 3 changes to a Bsus2 (using 4 strings again). Pretty easy song to play once you get past the somewhat odd chords, just watch out for the end of the bridge and outro, where Guitars 2 and 3 omit their last 2 strums.
