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

Here we go again with a wonderful piece of Gear Gonzolla. "Guild of Mute Assassins" was recorded during

"Pure Rock Fury" sessions and appears on the "Careful With that Mic" ep. As usual, to get the muffy guitar

of Tim Sult you need to flip your pickup switch to the neck (rhythm) position. The chorus guitar part sounds like more than two rhythm guitars so I have tabbed it for one. The solo is just bluesy, bendy stuff in B

minor and shouldn't pose to much trouble provided you have a good set of ears. The fade out solo is some Hendrixy backward stuff in B minor as well.
