Incarnate Solvent Abuse
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)
Thanks to Glenn Rogers for most of this, and many thanks also to Gerrit Jan de Ripper for a lot of
help (especially with Amott's lead). Thanks also to Brian Fleming for the suggestions!
Intro (approximately): Two measures of 6/8, one of 7/8
|--------------|-----------|------------| (I'm terrible at counting, so
|--------------|-----------|------------| don't blame me if this is wrong...)
|-------4------|---4---4---|-4---4---3--|

|--------------|-----------|------------| Then play again with harmony up
|--------------|-----------|------------| a P5, and of course a whammy bar
|-------4------|---4---4---|-4---1---1--| dive (or pick slide, whatever)
|---5-3---5-3--|-----------|------------| before the coolest four measure
|-2------------|-2---2---2-|---2---2----| riff known to man...

And now 4/4... this gets played four times here...

Twice (the second time with Walker's unbelievably awesome vocals fading in)

"Intenacious, intersecting..." etc. The second guitar does a G5 F#5 A5 bit after "culled..." (on the
2nd repetition of the riff)
The PM riff is played after that, but the second ending is a quarter note Bb5 again, into the
"truculent shambles" bit... (rhythm approx?)

Then the double-bass with the PM riff as before, into the faster bit:
This is probably a lot of 16th notes, and (hopefully) hammer-ons.

Then a similar thing but instead of tremolo picking the open E string play E5 power chords instead
(e q e rhythm, I think?), and there's just one F5 at the end. The last measure gets repeated a
couple of times just before the solo.
Later, under the Amott solo:

Then there's a riff after the solo I don't know, played over the top of this rhythm:

|-3-3-2-----3-3-2-----3-3-2------3-3-3--7-|
