*ORIGINAL*
album: Obsolete
This tab is an updated version of Pantafobia's original Edgecrusher tab.
The layout and chord changes are essentially Pantafobia's, but it has
been reworked for note and instrumental correctness (Dino plays a 7
string, as originally stated by Pantafobia). The original was written
for a 6 string with all strings tuned down a fifth (like Mike DeWolf of
Taproot). However, this makes Edgecrusher unnecessarily difficult to
play.
The following tab will be written for a 7 string guitar in drop A tuning.
But not to worry, 6 stringers can still play it (see Tuning).
Tuning (7 string, low to high): A-E-A-D-G-B-E
(6 string, low to high): A-E-A-G-B-E
The song is only played on the lowest 3 strings, so to save time,
6 string players may choose to only tune their lowest strings,
leaving the top 3 as is.
