Darker Thoughts Tab by Paradise Lost

Darker Thoughts tab by Paradise Lost

Guitar Tab

Tuning: B Tuning (B E A D F# B)

Tuning: 7-string, B Standard (BEADGBE)

Notes:
* Acoustic Intro: Greg accents the Gb note (11) pretty heavily and Aaron’s chord changes
  Match those accents.
* Bridge: The finger position for this section might be tough for some players. You can transpose this part
  down to the D and G strings. I prefer this position. If you want the other position added just comment.
* Solo: I did the best I could here and will continue to work on it. If anyone can help
  Or do a true GP of this song that would be awesome.
