Forever Blind by At The Gates AT THE GATES - FOREVER BLIND From the Album "TERMINAL SPIRIT DISEASE" 1994 Peaceville Records Made by : Anders Bjorler (AT THE GATES) July 2000. NOTES : Well, i'm not too familiar writing tabs, but I'll give it a shot. There are no exact bars that measure time, but my advice is: Listen to the song and try to figure it out with the help from these tabs. If you have any q's, please e-mail them to me (dahaunted@hotmail.com) . - palm mute / - slide up to \ - slide down to ~ - vibrato h - hammer on b - bend p - pull off Suffixes for bend ph - pinch harmonic * - see comment X - percussion mute @ - slight palm mute () - ghost note, sustained note " - 4 strokes on one note TUNING: B(everystring down 2.5 steps) Riff 1 (guitar1 = each note is a triplet) - Play one time |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------2-----2-4-------2-----2-5--------2-----2-4-------2-----2-5\----|GTR1 |-2-4-5---4-5-----2-4-5---4-5------2-4-5---4-5-----2-4-5---4-5---------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------7-8-------------7-8--------------7-8---------------------| |-4---4---4-------5---5---5--------4---4---4---------------------------|GTR2 |-------------4-5-------------4-5--------------4-5-7---7---5---5\------| |-2---2---2-------3---3---3--------2---2---2---------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------5---5---3---3\------| RIFF 2a (all 1's are ones, not 11's) Play one time |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|GTRS1&2 |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------2----3----5~--------2-3-5-2-3~---------2---3---5~------2----5-3-2-3-2-0-| |1-111---11---11-----1-111--1-1-1-1-----0-000--00--00---0-000---00-------------| . ... .. .. . ... . . . . . ... .. .. . ... .. . . . . . .
