	Hey, here's a tab for one of my favourite songs. This song is old, I know, but it
kicks major ass. I am absolutely sure that my tab is not 100% correct but its close to being
that. I only decided to make the tab now because I needed time to clarify some stuff about
the song. This is purely ear transcribed and so I am not sure if some parts will sound right
for you. A augmentedA song with a good melody and a powerful message, coupled with Mike's face melting
solo, Japs contribution with bass, Mark on drums and Rico breathing life into the song, this
song is worth listening to over and over again. I may be raised in another country and stuff,
but I respect the "Sariling Atin". Support OPM music, because the bands in the Philippines kick
major ass (well, not all of them, but most of them do).	I recently saw these guys perform here in
my place (in the Phil) and seriously, I was astounded by the sheer talent and enthusiasm. Keep
supporting thePhilippine music scene and enjoy the tab I made. For any of you're comments, hate
mail and death threats, please e-mail me at the address above. This is dedicated to everyone
in SPC Ormoc City, specifically to my cousin, Jomel Carlo, and a few other people, like his
classmates and friends. I may not know them but a friend of my cuz is a friend of mine.

DISCLAIMER - If you plan to post this up by copying it into your hard drive and posting it up
       on other public sources, mail me. I'll give it as long as I recieve the full credit.
       This document must not be changed in any way. Full credit to Mark Ryan only because
       this document is my work, and is owned by me. It is intended for you to learn.

This song uses a few advanced techniques like tapping, bending and vibratos. So if you are a
beginner, here's a crash course of definitions for these terms.

TAPPING - this is the act of using you're picking fingers (any one of them) to 'tap' notes on the
     fretboard that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach with the fretting hand.

BENDING - this is just simply bending a string while the fretted note is played. Once you play the
     note, just bring the string up to produce a bending effect and increase the pitch.

VIBRATO - vibrato is an effect that is done on fretted notes to make them sound wavy. This is done
     by slightly bending the string up and down so that the note sounds wavy.

PINCH HARMONICS - This was in the live version of the song (the one that I saw with my own eyes).
         It can be done by picking steeply in a way that as the note sounds, the string
         on which the note was played comes in contact with the flesh of you're thumb.
         This gives a loud screaming effect that would add wonderfully to the song.

SWEEP PICKING - Though this is only minor, it'll help in the solo. I can't explain it. Just
        look it up on the Internet. Its a lead guitarists dream to master this.

NOTE: Please use 2 guitars for this song (seriously, trust me). I'm not in a band so I found out both
   guitars myself and checked the whole thing by recording it into my PC and using Sound Recorder
   to merge them together. Play Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 over each other. Guitar 1 will be the tabs
   for whoever is you're lead guitarist, while guitar 2 is rhythm. There's a lot of dubbing done
   in "Liwanag Sa Dilim". Akala ko nga na iisa lang ung gitara the first time I heard it.

🏷Legend
Here's the 🏷Legend for various symbols I will be using in the
/ - Slide Note (/ = up; \ = down)
^ - Bend Note
PM - Palm Mute
~ - Vibrato
PH - Pinch Harmonic
X - Dead String
T - Please Tap Here
'' - Let Note(s) Ring
p - Pull Off
h - Hammer On
b - Bend Note

NOTES: Please take time to learn the song. It isn't easy to learn overnight, except if you're
    a good player who spends loads of time playing the guitar (I do. I LOVE MY STRAT!!).
    The solo is purely my version and I think it almost sounds correct. Note 'almost'.
    I AM NOT GIVING THE PROGRESSIONS, SO LISTEN TO THE SONG FOR THE PROGRESSIONS. So that
    you know.

The distortion kicks in here. Please have no effects while playing this.
It is preferred if you have overdrive pedals so you can switch immediately
from clean to overdrive. This sequence seems to work and my friends say
it sounds fine. Just listen to the song for the progression.

VERSE 1
Well, here we are. Basically the verse is played the same as the Intro. But not
fully like the Intro. How its played is for you to find out, so get cracking.
A augmentedA hint is that the chord that guitar 2 plays in the intro is played continuously
instead of stacatto style like in the intro. No seriously, its really easy to figure out.
When he gets to the refrain part, before the chorus, it becomes a little different.

Guitar 1
e|----------------------------------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 1:
BB|-----8\6-------8\6---1--------8\6-------------|  Give it a little sweep going down while
G+G|---7---------7---------3----7-----------------|  playing the 7th fret. This is obvious in the
D MajorD|------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  song as the 7th fret on the G+G string (hehe)
A augmentedA|------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  gets silenced. Good effect too.
E MajorE|------------------------------------4-4-4-4---|

Guitar 2
e|---6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 2:
BB|---6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6------------|  Play this chord throughout. Don't play it
G+G|---3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3------------|  stacatto style like in the intro. Let the
D MajorD|------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  chord ring and listen to the song for the
A augmentedA|------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  progression.
E MajorE|------------------------------------4-4-4-4---|

CHORUS
Heres the chorus. Just refer to the song for the progression respectively. Not
much difference between whats played in the intro and the chorus, except for a
few minor adjustments. Follow accordingly for progression.

E MajorE|----------6---------4---------6---1--3--4---|

Theres a change after he says "Ikaw ang liwanag sa dilim". Its easy to notice
that you don't have to play the D#5ths and that you have to go directly to
playing the A#5. Heres the tab.

Guitar 1             (PH)
e|---------------------------------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 1
BB|---------------------------------------------|  The final bend on the 10th fret can be made
G+G|------7/8-7-----7/8-7------------------------|  to sound cool by adding a pinch harmonic
D MajorD|---8---------6---------8---------------------|  before the bend. Michael did this when I saw
A augmentedA|---8--5/6-5--6--5/6-5--8--/8-10-10b11--------|  him live and it sounded wicked.
E MajorE|---6---------4---------6---------------------|

Guitar 2
e|---------------------------------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 2
BB|---------------------------------------------|  Always play the progressions along with guitar
G+G|---------------------------------------------|  1 or otherwise you'll end up with an awkward
D MajorD|---8----8-8--6----8-8--8---3--5--6-6-6-6-6---|  sounding song. Also to the final G#5, put in
A augmentedA|---8----6-5--6----6-5--8---3--5--6-6-6-6-6---|  some muting for effects.
E MajorE|---6---------4---------6---1--3--4-4-4-4-4---|

VERSE 2
Some say theres no guitar in the 2nd Verse, but there is. Only its played quietly.
The second refrain yet again is different.The frets played in the second refrain aren't
the same as refrain 1, so here's the tab for whats played in the second refrain.

Guitar 1
e|---------------------8--6\---------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 1:
BB|-----8\6-------8\6---8--6\------8\6------------|  Give it a little sweep going down while
G+G|---7---------7----------------7----------------|  playing the 7th fret. This is obvious in the
D MajorD|-------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  song as the 7th fret on the G+G string (hehe)
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  gets silenced.
E MajorE|-------------------------------------4-4-4-4---|

Guitar 2
e|---6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6-------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 2:
BB|---6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6-------------|  Play this chord throughout. Don't play it
G+G|---3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-------------|  stacatto style like in the intro. This
D MajorD|-------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  time play the chord quietly as it is almost
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------6-6-6-6---|  inaudible in the song, but can be heard closely.
E MajorE|-------------------------------------4-4-4-4---|

CHORUS
Welcome, yet again to the chorus section. The progression of the chorus will
be the same as before. But just to make sure, here's the tab again.

Guitar 1  (play twice)
e|--------------------------------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 1
BB|--------------------------------------------|  I would advise you to leave the final G#5G#5 to
G+G|---7/8-7-----7/8-7-----7/8-7----------------|  guitar 2, so that you can prepare for the solo
D MajorD|----------8---------6---------8---3--5--6---|  beforehand. Doing this can give you ample time
A augmentedA|---5/6-5--8--5/6-5--6--5/6-5--8---3--5--6---|  to work your way through to the solo. Good luck.
E MajorE|----------6---------4---------6---1--3--4---|

Guitar 2  (play twice)
e|--------------------------------------------|  NOTES TO GUITAR 2
BB|--------------------------------------------|	 The balance of the upcoming solo rests in your
G+G|--------------------------------------------|  hands now. So go for the gold and keep focused
D MajorD|-----8-8--8----8-8--6----8-8--8---3--5--6---|  on the riff.
A augmentedA|-----6-5--8----6-5--6----6-5--8---3--5--6---|
E MajorE|----------6---------4---------6---1--3--4---|

SOLO
Welcome to Michael's world. This solo is not that hard to do, provided you are able
to sweep pick at least a bit, are are able to tap notes. Not to mention quick fingers.
"How did he learn this solo?" you might ask. Well, here are the steps I took to learn
the solo:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. You must have the song in your PC. If it is in mp3 format, find a way to convert it
  into the wave format.
2. Once it is converted, open up Windows Sound Recorder and open the song through there.
3. Now, you're objective is to cut the parts before and after the solo, so that you are
  left with only the solo alone.
4. Open the edited version in Windows Media Player. Listen to it closely to get the solo
  (this method saves time, trust me).
5. If you still can't get it, open the edited version in Sound Recorder again and decrease
  the speed. Take note, that decreasing the speed will bring the whole file an octave lower.
  Follow accordingly to clear the solo. I found out the tapping part using this, as well as
  utilising what I saw Michael do live.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There, just a little something to help you if you want to try out the solo for yourself if you
feel that my version is odd. I am not sure whether the tapping part is 100% correct, but it is
one that sounds almost close to it. Here's the tab for this face melting solo:

Coming up next is the tapping part. I used the Sound Recorder method to find this
out as well as using my memory of how he did it when I saw him live. I am not sure
if it is 100% correct, but it is close to being so. Likewise, just try it out.

After the solo, there's this small part before he sings again where something is
played. I couldn't guess at it at first but when I segregated everything, it hit
me. It may not sound right, but it might if you listen to the song closely. Guitar
2 plays this, take note. Its the same chord while the bass gives it its rhythm.

Guitar 2
e|---6--6--6--6--6---|  NOTES TO GUITAR 2
BB|---6--6--6--6--6---|  Just listen to the song for the
G+G|---X--X--X--X--X---|  progression of the chord. Play this
D MajorD|---8--8--8--8--8---|  while the Pinch on the 15th fret is
A augmentedA|---8--8--8--8--8---|  still ringing.
E MajorE|---X--X--X--X--X---|

Then comes the singing part. This has to be the easiest part of the song. So congra-
tulate yourself on a job well done. You're alost finished. Guitar 2 can take a rest
in this part.

ADDITIONAL TIP - This part has this feedbackish effect, so Guitar 2 can just approach
         his amplifier to start the feedbackish effect. It doesn't have to be
         exact anyway.

Now, in the final leg of the song, both guitars come back in. Here's the

A augmentedA|---8--5/6-5--6--5/6-5--8---3--5--6-6-6-6-6---|  to have one. Its before the A#5.

CONGRATULATIONS. You ave successfully completed the song. Well, just keep on practicing and you'll
get it. I didn't put in the lyrics because its an unnecessary waste of time. Just look for it on
the net, or better yet, memorize it by listening to the song. Please rate this tab and give me some
feedback about my tab so I can do better in the future. As I said, this song is awesome and it
sort of lifts up my senses. I dedicate this tab (my effort, my blood, my sweat, my tears) to "that
unsmiling girl". Keep smiling, cos' its odd seeing you so down and low. I also dedicate this to a
couple of friends, Paolo Salvatierra (my mentor), Miguel Mendoza (the failure) and lots more.
Dedicated to the students of SPC (gotta love that school. Its actually the only school I know about
here), namely my cousin, Jomel Carlo (the fag. LOL) and some other new friends I never really talked
to, Z(S)andra, Cindy and Leny. In short, I dedicate this to everybody. Keep rocking coz' this bands
got a lot more to come.

For your comments, death threats and hate mail, please mail me at [email protected] or mastafb@yahoo.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RATE ME AND MAIL ME. How hard could that be? It took me almost a week and a half &
3 sleepless nights just doing the tab and reading it through while listening to the song over and over.
Please respect my effort. LOL. MAIL ME, PLEASE????
