Fan Song by Dethklok
C standard of course
Disclaimer 1 - I refer to all note names as though I am in E standard
because I refuse to re-learn my fretboard in C...
Disclaimer 2 - Most of the Dethklok stuff is multi-tracked to /death/
which means that in some spots it ends up being more of an arrangement,
or more accurately, a reduction of the original. All I've tried to do
is notate possible voicings of chords that accurately reflect the
harmony w/o producing any wrong notes.
Disclaimer 3 - I can't get UG's tab submitter thingy to recognize
more than one press of my space bar so I left out all the rhythm and
palm mute indications - email me any questions.

Or if you don't like that open B rubbing against that Bb,
(I frankly can't tell if it's in there or not...) just do:

Riff 1:
This probably isn't /exactly/ right but the thirds sound a lot
more authentic than power chords to my ear...

Riff 2
Several different ways to do this one; basically just droning an
E against another voice that changes from B, C, C#, C - then B, C,
C#, D#. I was arranging for two guitars and this is what I ended
up with.

Bridge
Same idea here. If playing all 3 voices is a pain in the ass for you,
just ignore the top one, or split the work between 2 guitars...

Repeat a few times. Sounds like the other guitar is just flailing on
a D chord.
Solo (/should/ be dead on - I slowed it down and split the channels)
It's a cannon, which means the 2nd guitar is playing exactly what the
1st one plays only a couple of bars afterward.
1st voice enters on the "&" of 1. Second voice enters exactly 8 beats
later (exactly 1 bar in my notation)
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' second gtr enters riiiiiight here:

That's about it... the end isn't exactly rocket science.
I'll post more if people out there actually want to learn this stuff.
Next on the docket is Hatredcopter. I've transcribed a ton of shit over
the years but never actually posted a tab to the net before, so if my
formatting or notation or whatever is lacking, let me know.
