Chord/Tab song: False Light

Band: ISIS

figure out the rhythms etc yourself. (i.e. play while listening to the record)
shouldn't be that much of a problem, it's a really easy song.

[] riff 1 (0:00-0:16)

semi-clean sound

just keep playing these notes using downstrokes only (sounds best)

B |--------------------------------| (x2)
G#|--------------------------------|
E |7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
B |--------------------------------|

B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

[] riff 2a (0:16-0:24)

heavily distorted

same as before

B |--------------------------------| (x2)
G#|--------------------------------|
E |7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|

[] riff 2b (0:24-0:32)

same as riff 2a, but the second guitar track goes like this:

B |------------------------------------------------|
G#|------------------------------------------------|
E |19-19-19-17-17-17-17-19-19-19-19-17-17-17-17-19-|

F#|17-17-17-15-15-15-15-17-17-17-17-15-15-15-15-17-|

F#|17-17-17-15-15-15-15-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-|
B |------------------------------------------------|

then riff 2a again

then riff 2b again

riff 3 (0:48-1:24) (tricky bit) (which isn't really all that tricky if you just listen
carefully to the cd and memorise the rhythm)

[ 4/4 ][ 5/4 ]

then the quiet part, (3:00 onward) which I'm too lazy to fully transcribe.
you can just follow the bass by playing octaves. they are:

B |--------------------------------|
G#|--------------------------------|
E |7---5---2-----------------------|
B |------------10---7---3---0------|
F#|5---3---0-----------------------|
B |------------10---7---3---0------|

you figure out the rhythm etc yourself :D

quiet part lasts until around 4:40, then the "build-up" starts.

just play this every fourth beat: (semi-clean sound)

B |--------------------------------|
G#|--------------------------------|
E |7-------------------------------|
B |--------------------------------|
F#|5-------------------------------|
B |--------------------------------|

then, at 6:02, play:

riff 2a x2
riff 2b x1
riff 2a x2
riff 2b x1

then:

riff 6a (6:34 onwards)

B |----------------------------------------|
G#|----------------------------------------|

play fig.6 (6a, 6b, 6a, 6c) 3 more times

end with
