This is "Stigmata Martyr." Fret numbers enclosed

in pipes (i.e. |4|) mean to play the natural

harmonics above that fret (or in the case of

|2 3/4| that fraction past the indicated fret.

If you can't figure it out, e-mail me and I'll

try to explain to you.

(distorted electric guitar)

play a simile of this for a few measures. the

bass is doing something like this:

G--------------------------------------------...

D--------------------------------------------...

A--------------------------------------------...

E-0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0-...

the fretted notes are bent enough to sound

slightly ominous and sickening. Use your own

delicately-honed sensibilities to figure this out.

after the intro, the guitar does something

really simple, but cool:

e-X-0-...

B-X-0-...

G-X-0-...

D-X-0-...

A-X-0-...

E-X-0-...

make sure that the open strings are not allowed

to ring for very long at all. Not quite

staccato, but just a short fuzzy bark.

After you do that a couple times, the guitar

plays the chords that the bass roots imply:

E G F# F E

If you don't understand this, find someone to

explain, because it takes far too long to write

out chord diagrams.

Do we have any questions about that?
