AT THE GATES "THE SWARM" FROM THE ALBUM "TERMINAL SPIRIT DISEASE" 1994 PEACEVILLE RECORDS TRANSCRIBED 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 ~ - vibrato \ - slide to h - hammer on b - bend p - pull off * - see comment TUNING: B (every string down 2.5 steps) RIFF 1 (intro) play four times /// Well, the intro riff starts off with violin on the album, but we never played it live, so i would suggest you play the intro riff 4 times instead. There are 4 guitars on this part. Guitar 1,2 and 3 play all four times, Guitar 4 just plays 3:rd and 4:th time. If you're planning to do this song live, let the bass play what guitar 3 is doing. Then play guitar 1+2 the first two times, then change to guitar 1+4 the last two /// GUITAR 1 after 4:th ring out with: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |------------5555|------------5555|5555--------5555|--------7777----||-------------------------| |999977779999----|999977779999----|----77779999----|99997777----7777||7~-----------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| | | | GUITAR 2 after 4:th ring out with: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|6666666666666666|----------------||-------------------------| |9999999999999999|9999999999999999|----------------|7777777777777777||5~-----------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| | | | GUITAR 3 after 4:th ring out with: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |7777777777777777|5555555555555555|3333333333333333|5555555555555555||7------------------------| |7777777777777777|5555555555555555|3333333333333333|5555555555555555||7------------------------| |5555555555555555|3333333333333333|1111111111111111|3333333333333333||5------------------------| | | | GUITAR 4 (Comes in after 2 times) after 4:th ring out with: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|66665555--------|66665555--------||-------------------------| |4444555577779999|4444555577779999|--------77775555|--------7777575~||5~-----------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||-------------------------| end of riff 1 RIFF 2 (VERSE) 4 times.
