Angel's Thanatos
from Silent Hill 2
Music by: Akira Yamaoka
Tabbed by: tylersaintcool
Tuning: (B E D G B e)
Key: B Phrygian
Notes:
This song was originally recorded using a seven-string electric guitar.
I assume you have a six-string, so just tune low E down to B and A down
to E. Don't worry about the other strings.
If you do have a seven-string, well, no need, just keep
it in standard: B E A D G B e
Lastly, there's a lot of random harmonic/palm muting/open string strumming
throughout RIFF A every time it's played, but the chords remain the same.
All I know is that the palm muting and harmonics are placed on the third fret,
and the open stringsare often G and B, and sometimes G and D.
Tab explanation:
. = natural harmonics
> = accent (strike, not strum)
x = palm mute
(x)= after performing previous note, halt by muting strings)
~ = vibrato
(number) = let ring
