Big Ringing Intro Chords:
I wont tab the rythym here, just listen to the song. The trick here
is to listen how Starcrunch strikes a chord, pauses, strikes it again,
then immediately slides the whole chord upto (or down to) the next one.
A C A D--------------5----8----5---10------------------------------------|--------------5----8----5---10------------------------------------|--------------6----9----6---11------------------------------------|--------------7----10---7---12------------------------------------|--------------7----10---7---12------------------------------------|--------------5----9----5---10------------------------------------|
Power Chords:
Again, no rythym notated here. Start with the A & C chords then
switch to an octave aproach for the D & E...
A C--------------5----8----------------------------------------------|--------------5----8----------------------------------------------|--------------6----9----7---9-------------------------------------|--------------7----10---X---X-------------------------------------|--------------7----10---5---7-------------------------------------|--------------5----9----------------------------------------------|
Riff A: (No you are not seeing notes on the 32nd or 20th fret... The picking is very fast and subtle and I am sure I am not tabbing every exact note. I ran some of the notes together to try to indicate timing without wasting a lot of space.)--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------2-0------*---------|---0-2-3--32-0-2--20---0---------------------0-2-----3-2-14>>>>>>---|-0-------------------4---0-0-001-1131310-0-0------------------0-0-0-|
* 14th fret ???
Repeat Riff A again and this time end with the Power Chords.
Riff B: (Just Riff A up an octave - a surf idiom!)

Part C: (Again the picking is fast and subtle; I am showing the
notes put not every pick!)

Next comes the Power chords again;
Followed by the first part of Riff B which rips into a solo.
(Anyone want to take a stab at the solo??)
End with:
