              Aimless Arrow - Converge
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: millarso (Jake Miller)
E-mail: millarso2.0@gmail.com

Tuning: Drop C (Dropped A string ½ Step)

TABBER'S NOTE: I realize this tuning might seem strange, but this is literally the only
way to play the dissonant chord the way that Ballou must play it. If you watch him in
live videos, he isn't stretching his hand for the dissonant chord at the 7th fret.

SECTION 1 (x2)
D |-----------------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------7--p0--------|
F |----7--0--------7---5p0----7--0----0h7h8-----7p0-5p0-|
C |----------8--8-----8-------------8-------------------|
G |-----------------------------------------------------|
C |-7----------------------7----------------------------|

                    1st Ending  2nd Ending
D |------------------------------------|-5--5--5-5-|-5--5--5-5--5--5--5-5-|
Ab|------------------------------------|-0--0--0-0-|-0--0--0-0--0--0--0-0-|
F |----7--0--------7---5p0----3----5p0-|-2--2--2-2-|-2--2--2-2--2--2--2-2-|
C |----------8--8-----8----------------|-----------|----------------------|
G |------------------------------------|(0)--------|----------------------|
C |-7----------------------3-----3-----|-----------|----------------------|

NOTE: Feel free to add that extra 0 to the dissonant chords if you want a little more
grit, but you will have to mute the high C string.
NOTE 2: It actually feels easier to me to play the low C string notes with my thumb.
It frees up more room and fingers, but I know some frown on that. If you watch some live
videos, it looks like Ballou might be using his thumb.

SECTION 2
NOTE: Every note in this section is tapped. Try to mute any string that is not being
tapped as much as possible. Above each bar I will place an L or an R for left hand tap or
right hand tap. I suggest using your pointer and middle to tap the right hand.

This tab was ridiculously hard for me to tab out because there is some weird technique
going on in this song. I hope it sounds good to you guys.
Please rate & comment (go easy on me, haha)
Thanks,
