Some tabs from Destroy Erase Improve
Read this first!!
This file includes tabulatures without accurate
rythmics notation: they're more or less suggestive.
Listen the CD and figure
rythmics out yourself
Arranged for six string guitar
Strings from
lowest Bflat, Eflat, Aflat, Dflat, F, Bflat (I used string gauges from .52
to.13)
Some trickier parts are transcripted badly, but they sound almost
the same as the originals... or do they?
Any comments are welcome:

Some tips to help practising Acrid Placidity
I'm not sure how the
fingering should be done. I'm not sure how many guitars are playing these riffs
on CD ;) However, notes in my version should be almost correct...
Let the
notes ring whenever it's possible. Use delay and reverb to create legato effect
in these arpeggios.
Riffs are build with two separate
fingerings:
example riff 1
------|-----------|------
------|-9---10---9|------
----11|---9----9--|-11---
--7---|-----------|----7-
9-----|-----------|------
------|-----------|------
fig 1.| fig 2. | fig 1.


Shift between those two fingerings rapidly,
and ring the notes as long as possible.
