Transfixion

Song

M E S H U G G A H

T R A N S F I X I O N

Meshuggah uses 7-string guitars but, i arranged this song for a 6-string.

Strings from lowest Bflat, Eflat, Aflat, Dflat, F, Bflat (I used string gauges from .52 to.13)

Lowest line in tabs indicates when chord or single note is picked muted

Some trickier parts are transcripted badly, but they sound almost the same as the originals...

or do they?

Any comments are welcome: generalvido@hotmail.com

p=palm mute (muted picking)

/ or \=slide

intro 0.00

riff 1 0.18 Trapped in a gage....
