This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
"Slowly Passing the Frostlands/ A Winterland"
by Opthalamia
off the album "Via Dolorosa"
Tabbed by Rob Hartzog
I am confident that this tab is correct, since I plugged my guitar
into my stereo and played along with the cd. I'm not sure, however,
of the positions, so switch them around to find what's most comfortable
for you to play.
h = hammer-on
p = pull-of
. = palm mute
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
\\\ = pick scratch
It should be noted that on parts that I thought might look confusing
or hard to read tabbed out (Riffs 3 and 12), I put numbers underneath
the notes in order to aid in counting.
