A Light That Never Comes - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/lo-fi) Guitar 2 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/lo-fi) Guitar 3 - E A D G B E (Distorted) Guitar 4 - E A D G B E (Distorted) Guitar 5 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/fuzz, 3-way octave splitter, and reverb) Guitar 6 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/fuzz, 3-way octave splitter, and reverb) Guitar 7 - E A D G B E (Acoustic guitar) Guitar 8 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/fuzz, triple octave shifter effect, and reverb) Guitar 9 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/fuzz, triple octave shifter effect, and reverb) *Note* Guitar 1 through 6, 8, and 9 are Fender Stratocasters. Guitar 7 is a steel-string acoustic guitar (most likely a Takamine). Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. There are actually a total of NINE guitars on this track (pretty amazing, considering how small of a role the guitar plays in the final mix)! Guitars 1 and 2 are only present for one line, where the guitars first enter during the second chorus (which is during the second line of vocals, when Chester sings "I chase the sun..."), they're quickly replaced by the slightly-louder Guitars 3 and 4, which are the main rhythm guitars. Guitars 5 and 6 appear during the bridge, using an octave splitting effect (an octave up, an octave down, and the dry signal all combined) with a bunch of fuzz. Watch out for the slight differences between Guitars 5 and 6, those aren't typos! Guitar 7 is an acoustic guitar that plays WAY in the background during the breakdown, and Guitars 8 and 9 show up during the outro, playing a slight variation on the bridge riff with a slightly different octaver setup - the octave up and down sounds are used again, as well as an additional +2 octave sound, but the dry signal is COMPLETELY muted out so you only hear the pitch-shifted notes. In terms of things to watch out for, Guitars 1 and 2 pause two notes earlier than Guitars 3 and 4 do on the next two lines of the chorus, Guitars 5 and 6 initially come in at the very end of the chorus (replacing Guitars 3 and 4 when they do so), and the outro part played by Guitars 3 and 4 is completely different from the regular chorus riff (the second line of the outro is also slightly different from the first, and this applies to both guitar parts). Also, pay attention to the chord shapes on Guitar 7, they're basically full chords, but the high E string notes aren't played on 3 of the 4 chords (they're definitely there on the F chords though, oddly enough). Guitar 7 also cuts off just before the last chorus kicks in, so I've put "x's" in parentheses to notate when to mute the strings. (No guitar until 1:56) Chorus Part 2 - Guitars 1 and 2 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-10-10-10-10-------------| |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| (Guitars 3 and 4) |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-------| |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10-10-------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-------| |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10-10-------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Guitars 3 and 4 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3~----| |Guitars 5 and 6 Bridge |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----5-----------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------| |-6-----6--8-----8--8--8--5-----5--6--5-----3-----6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5-----3~----------| |Guitar 5 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----5-----------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------| |-6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5--6--5--5--3-----6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5-----3~----------| |Guitar 6 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----5-----------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------| |-6-----6--8-----8--8--8--5-----5--6--5-----3-----6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5-----3~----------| |Guitar 5 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----5-----------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------| |-6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5--6--5--5--3-----6-----6--8-----8--8--6--5-----5-----3~----------| |Guitar 6 Breakdown -
