Vicarious Atonement - The Mars Volta

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by:The Baphomet

Tuning:EADGBE

This is my first tab, and before you see look at it you should know that, this is not

whole song. I left out a few scales and the guitaring in the background. The scales are

to figure out however, and the background guitar I am still trying to figure out. (With the effects and all)

I tabbed this out for 3 guitars. Guitar 2's part however, is short.

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|Really,

guitar 2 is playing, and most of it sounds very easy. I'll figure it out later. But this

what the piano is playing.

The rest just sounds like improvisation, so I won't bother tabbing it.
