Rhinestone - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 2 - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean w/reverb, neck pickup) Guitar 3 - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean) *Note* All guitars on this track are Fender Stratocasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. A couple big notes about the Xero demo in general here: Due to the limitations of the cassette 4-track it was recorded on, there's no double-tracking of rhythm guitar parts like you'd typically see. Believe it or not, all of the guitars on the Xero demo are Strats (played through a tiny Crate G20 practice amp, no less)! Mike has confirmed that he and Mark Wakefield recorded the majority of the demo themselves, using "the only guitar Mark owned," which was a Strat. Brad and Joe are credited as co-writers on Rhinestone, which leads me to believe Brad is probably playing guitar on this track, but even he would've been using a Strat at this point, as he didn't acquire his first PRS until after Xero signed their first publishing deal (after the demo was recorded and the first incarnation of the full band was put together). The tone is consistent between this track and the other three regardless. Anyway, Guitar 1 plays the distorted parts, Guitar 2 plays the verses, Guitar 3 plays the ending. The structure of the song stayed pretty consistent from this version to the Hybrid Theory demo version a few years later, but there are a few changes to note: In the rap chorus, Brad is inconsistent with which harmonics he hits at the 5th fret, and at one point even plays a half-step pattern with harmonics at the 5th fret on the G string and the 7th fret on the B string (an inspiration for the verse of In the End later on, perhaps?). There's also a very audible sliding noise before the harmonics on the third line of each rap chorus, so I've included it in parentheses. The chorus riff uses all the same chords, but the strumming pattern is quite different (it's a lot simpler, actually). There are a few variations in the bridge, most notably the placement of the last two chords before the last chorus. Not a whole lot else to note, if you already know the demo version of Forgotten this one should be pretty easy to figure out.
