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?

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.
