Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. This early demo of what later became "More the Victim" is one of many instances of Brad experimenting with various tunings during the Meteora sessions, but unusual in that the song is actually pieced together from guitar parts in two entirely different tunings! While the final version was eventually entirely redone in Drop C, the majority of the guitars on the demo are actually tuned UP half a step from Drop D! This tuning would make a return years later when Mike used it on the live version of Final Masquerade, oddly enough. Guitar 1 plays a repeating line of harmonics in this tuning during the verses, with a pretty heavy delay effect that makes it sound like there are a lot more notes being played than there really are! Guitars 2 and 3 are the main rhythm guitars for the choruses. During the bridge, Guitars 4 and 5 replaced Guitars 2 and 3, and they actually are in Drop C! The non-inverted C5 chord is a dead giveaway of this, and the inverted Bb5 is a pretty big clue, as that chord would have to be played with an awkward 2-0-2 fretting in the tuning Guitars 2 and 3 are in. At the end of the bridge, Guitars 2 and 3 come back in to play an ascending octave line over a constant low Eb note. Variation-wise, watch out for how Guitars 2 and 3 sustain a 9x11 octave at the end of the first chorus, they don't do that anywhere else in the song. The fade-in before the last chorus also happens on the same chord the chorus starts on, rather than with sustained feedback like on the first two choruses. Fun song, but a frustrating one to try to play live!
