Catharsis - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - C G C F A D (Distorted) Guitar 2 - C G C F A D (Distorted) Guitar 3 - C G C F A D (Distorted) Guitar 4 - C G C F A D (Distorted) Guitar 5 - C G C F A D (Distorted w/lo-fi) Guitar 6 - C G C F A D (Distorted w/lo-fi) *Note* All guitars on this track are humbucker-equipped (either PRS's or Ibanez RG's). Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. Simple guitar work, but a great instrumental. It's kind of reminiscent of Crawling, but a major point of interest on this is it's one of the few cases of an LP-related song being tuned down to Drop C. Guitars 1 and 2 handle the muted strums before the choruses and the powerchords (the muted strums are executed over the 4th fret, they have a bit of a harmonic overtone to them), Guitars 3 and 4 handle the octaves, and Guitars 5 and 6 handle the octave fade-outs at the end of the choruses and the palm-muted powerchords at the end of the verse. Check out the major dissonance on the 2nd chord of the chorus - The rhythm guitar plays an Ab5 powerchord while the octave part plays a G. Ouch! Nevertheless, it still sounds good in the context of the song.
