This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Subject: TAB: Face (adds-on) by Christian Death

From: Nascent Virion..... <mcdonghj>

> Gulp! Did I *really* put E#??? God, the jet-lag must have affected me

> more than I realised!! E#... well I never!

:) No body's perfect :)

> And *3* strings for a power chord! Wow! You're ambitious, John! ;)

Don't be pedantic!

> I hardly ever use power chords myself...I usually just bar them and do

> away with it all...after all, six strings are better than 2! (or 3!) ;)!

Well normally I just play barre chords... but I think power chords on

only 2 strings don't sound like POWER chords...

> Okay, okay - I'll get to work on FACE - I'm just waiting for my copy of

> 'Ashes' to be returned!!! These XD songs aren't quite as simple as Rosy

> Stone ones y'know! I'm sure Valor and the other XD gtrists just improvise

> half of their stuff...this makes it hard to tab correctly!

Well that song is quite tight...

My main problem is the little scale thing..

I mean it's start something like:

A| -4--4-4-4---4--4-4-4---2--2-2-2---0---0-2-0-2--- (x3)

then...

A| -4--4-4-4---5--5-5-5--

at which point it does some twiddly bit which I can't find and then

later it does this descending scale thing! Can you help?

(When you get ASHES back of course)!
