This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Artist: Therion
Song: Morbid Reality
Album: Of Darkness
Tab by: Ky MacPherson (pokey@uiuc.edu)
To play this song you need to tune down 4 half-steps. Also it sounds
to me like the guitar is tuned slightly flat, so maybe use A=430 Hz as
a reference. There are a lot of tempo changes ... you will have to
listen to the album to get them right.
I am only showing the bottom 4 strings, since that's all you need to
play this song. (But note that this IS a GUITAR tab, NOT bass)
I put beat markers on top of the staff to (hopefully) make it a
little easier to show the timing. Also watch for the accents at the
top of the staff, in place of the beat markers.
