Artist: Sick Puppies Album: Tri-Polar Transcribed by: Vincent Plenzo Tuning: Drop C majorC Key: . = Palm Mute * = Pinch Harmonic / = Up Slide \ = Down Slide br= Bend Release x = Mute ~ = Let Ring One of the best tracks off their new album in my opinion. You should go out and pick this album up if you haven't already :) Pay close attention to the side notes I've inserted througout the course of the song. The notes elaborate on the music. Intro/Verse (Lead):
D MajorD ---------------------------------------------------------------| A augmentedA ---------------------------------------------------------------| FF ---------------------------------------------------------------| C majorC ---------------------------------------------------------------| G+G --12-------12-------11-------11-------11-----------------------| C majorC -----14-14----14-14----14-14----14-14----14-14-14--------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ** Repeat that riff from the very beginning of the song ** and throughout the verses. The same concept applies to the upcoming rhythm section. Intro/Verse (Rhythm): The rhythm section changes every time Shimon sings a new "Maybe" line, with minor exceptions. Play each of the following notes repeatedly. Note: This section is also palm muted thoughout, and I prefer to down pick this section as opposed to alternate picking... It seems to match the sound better. "Maybe I'm a dreamer..." "Maybe I'm misunderstood..."
