 PLAYING NOTES
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 TUNING -- Standard, Down One Whole Step (D G C F A D)
 
 To play along with the record, you must tune your guitar down one
 whole step from standard, give or take some production tricks that
 may have left the guitars tuned slightly sharp or flat. In the
 world of music majors, this is not a mistake, it's called "micro-
 tonality." Either way it's a bitch to tune the guitar to, so my
 recommendation is to use the pitchshifter function available on
 many commerically-available sound editing programs (Cool Edit,
 Audacity, pretty much anything with a multi-track view) to
 tune the song to your guitar.
 
 Effects used: whammy, light chorus and/or phaser, distortion/over-
 drive. You can get by without a whammy, and I've shown the method
 of doing so here, but it's not going to sound as clean or tuneful
 as on the recording unless you're Superman (ie. faster than a
 speeding bullet).
 
 Chorus effect is noticeable mostly on the lead lines, but the
 rhythm parts have a vague but audible "ghostly" feel to them too,
 suggesting that there may be some light chorus or phaser applied
 to Som's part. Old Digitech products (like the XP-300 Space Station
 that Som uses) sometimes color/compress the tone in weird ways and
 leave digital artifacts; this may be what I'm hearing.
 
 Your mileage may vary.

 ^ Rhythm should be easy to figure out. Make sure to strum the
 whole chord and arpeggiate as appropriate and it should sound
 right.

 ==================================================================
 This is my interpretation of the song. As of this writing, there
 is no sheet music for My Vitriol, so no one has justification to
 prosecute or harm me in any way.
