-------------------------------------------------------------------------------DEADWING - Jason Dolinger-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tuning: Dropped DeBGDADtempo = ~ 144 bpmRiff A:Starts about 0:36 into the tune (afterthe introductory keyboard parts), played withslightly distorted electric and acoustic guitar doubled, probablysome chorus as well. Hold all notes open and ringing (except forthe few marked staccato with a .).By the way, I have NO idea what these chords actually are, but they soundrght to me. Basically some crazy variation of F#m and F.A guess is F#m7sus4 and Fmaj7b11 but I'm not sure. Can anyone enlighten me?Repeat Riff A twice:F#m7sus4 Fmaj7b11...| | | | | | | |e|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| B|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| G|2-----------2-----------2-------|----------------------------2-2-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| A|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-|| | | | | | | |e|0---------------------------0-0-|0-------------------------------| B|0---------------------------0-0-|0-------------------------------| G|2---------------------------2-2-|2-------------------------------| D|3---------------------------3-3-|3-------------------------------| A|3---------------------------3-3-|3-------------------------------| D|3---------------------------3-3-|3-------------------------------|| | | | | | | |e|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| B|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| G|2-----------2-----------2-------|----------------------------2-2-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| A|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-|| | | | | | | |e|0-------------------------------|------------0-------------------| B|0-------------------------------|0---------------0---------------| G|2-------------------------------|----2---------------2-----------| D|3---------------------------3---|--------3---------------3-------| A|3-------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|3-------------------------------|--------------------------------|| | | | | | | |e|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| B|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| G|2-----------2-----------2-------|----------------------------2-2-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| A|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-|. . . .| | | | | | | |e|0-------------------------------|0-------0---0-------0-----------| B|0-------------------------------|0-------0---0-------0-----------| G|2-------------------------------|2-------2---2-------2-----------| D|3-------------------------------|3-------3---3-------3-----------| A|3-------------------------------|3-------3---3-------3-----------| D|3-------------------------------|3-------3---3-------3-----------|| | | | | | | |e|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| B|0-----------0-----------0-------|----------------------------0-0-| G|2-----------2-----------2-------|----------------------------2-2-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| A|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-| D|4-----------4-----------3-------|----------------------------3-3-|| | | | | | | |e|0-------------------------------|------------0-------------------| B|0-------------------------------|0---------------0---------------| G|2-------------------------------|----2---------------2-----------| D|3---------------------------3---|--------3---------------3-------| A|3-------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|3-------------------------------|--------------------------------|Riff B: Bring on the distortion now, this is a heavy riff.

Underneaththe solo is a mellow variation on Riff A, acoustic guitar only.

It's definitely in 4/4 and youcan count along with the keyboard bits, but it may as well be in freetime, because the guitar and bass textures come in apparently randomly.The guitar uses a clean sound with some reverb and tremolo I guesshere, adding texture on top of a D pedal from the keyboard. These arethe chords used as best I can figure:e|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----| B|---5----|--4--3--|6-------|4---3---|5-------|4---3---|6------|5-----|--3-| G|---5----|--2-----|5-------|2-----2-|5-------|2-------|5------|4-----|----| D|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0------|0-----|----| A|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----| D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----|Full band enters in 7/4 time with the tribal sounding pattern.
