EXTRA NOTES:
Rthm Gtrs:
- To answer your question, YES. Yes the chords were hard to identify at some
places, especially given the nature of some less conventional chords. Add
to that a lot of strings that happen in the mix, 2 rhythm guitars (panned
left & right). I used phasing out techniques, stretching, etc to bring
them out more while I was tabbing, as well as a frequency spectrum analyser
to confirm some less obvious chords, BUT, I still chould be wrong at some
places, especially with the F#7M chord.
Lead Gtr:
- You can of course re-arrange the fingering on the lead to your liking.
