Pain Of Salvation - ScarsickFrom the album: ScarsickTranscribed by: Travis LauschThis song's guitar parts are all about texture. I couldn't even be botheredto tab out a lot of the parts, because they're either buried in the mix, orthere are so many of them that are really playing nothing. I haven't includedthe order of the riffs or anything, you'll have to figure that outyourselves. And it should be really goddamn easy to do that. I used a coupleof live videos to confirm hand positions in the intro and other riffs.So basically, the trick to this song is to "feel" it. This isn't your typical"precise" prog-metal song. The guitars are almost purely textural in thissong.7-string tuned to A E A D G B ERiff 1|------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |----0-5h6---0-5h6---0-5h6---5---6---| |--0-------0-------0-------0---0-----| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |----0-5h6---0-5h6---0-5h6---10---9--| |--0-------0-------0-------0----0----|Riff 2|------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------7/8-----7/8-----7/8---7---8---| |------5/6-----5/6-----5/6---5---6---| |--0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----0---0-----| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------7/8-----7/8-----7/8---12---11-| |------5/6-----5/6-----5/6---10---9--| |--0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----0----0----|Riff 3|------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------5-3-----5-3-----5-3---5---3---| |--0-0-------0-------0-----0---0-----| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------5-3-----5-3-----5-3---10---9--| |----0-------0-------0-----0----0----|Riff 4|------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |--9/10\8---7/9-----9/10\9---7-------| |------------------------------------| |--7/8-\7---5/7-----7/8-\7---5-------| |---------0------00--------0---0---0-| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |--9/10\8---7/9-----9/10\9---9-------| |------------------------------------| |--7/8-\7---5/7-----7/8-\7---7-------| |---------0------00--------0---0---0-|Verse Fills1|-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |--x-x-x-x-x-x-x--| |--x-x-x-x-x-x-x--| |--x-x-x-x-x-x-x--|2|----------10~~~--| |--8b10-----------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------|3|----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |--0--------------0--0---------------0---|4|--------------------------| |--11-11-11-11-11-11-10\---| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------|ChorusBoth guitars clean w/envelope filter or wah|---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |--0----------------0-------------|--0------------------------3--------|||---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |-------------------5b5b5b5b5b5b5-|--5---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |-----------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------| |--5--------------|---8-------------------10----|---5----5-5-5-5-----5-5-5-5----5-5-5\---|There are plenty of guitar noises involving bending the string with wah inthis section. I can't be bothered to tab them all out, but they're pretty much basedthe 7th fret on the 4th string, and occasionally followingthe chord progression of the chorus. The part is occasionally played withpower chords as well, rather than just single notes.2nd verse fills1|------------------||--x//////X\\\\\\--||--x//////X\\\\\\--||------------------| |------------------| |------------------| |------------------|(w/slide) Just slide from one random point to another, somewhere near the pickups.2w/wah|--------------------------| |--11-11-11-11-11-11-10\---| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------|3|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |--5-5-5-4-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| |---------------------------------|Heavy Chorus|----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |--0---------0---------|--0h3-------5---------| |--0---------0---------|--0h3-------5---------| |--0---------0---------|--0h3-------5---------| |----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------| |--0---------0---3-----|--5-------------------| |--0---------0---3-----|--5-------------------| |--0---------0---3-----|--5-------------------| |----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| |----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------| |--8-------------------|--10--------5---------|---5------------------|---0------------------| |--8-------------------|--10--------5---------|---5------------------|---0------------------| |--8-------------------|--10--------5---------|---5------------------|---0------------------|The rest of the song is repeats of the same riffs.
