Song:Parabol/Parabola
Artist:Tool
Album:Lateralus
Track:6/7
My name:Patrick L.

I read that both songs are played in Dropped B(BEDGbe) but i play it
in this Tuning (DGCFAD).So Dropped D(DADGBE) should be ok,too.It will
sound a bit high like it does in my Tuning.Find out what you mostly
like.


Parabol:

You might think that the guitar plays the same thing the whole time
but when you listen clearly to the Record you can hear that it does
also variations as the Bass does.I tried to figur them out.


All Clean.

To go from Parabol into Parabola do a Volume swell on your lowest
string.
