Heartburn - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean w/compressor, delay, and reverb) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean w/compressor) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) *Note* All guitars on this track are humbucker-equipped (likely PRS Custom 24's). Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. Oh boy, in terms of timing, this weird little track has to be the most bizarre thing in the Linkin Park catalog. Without getting overly technical in trying to explain polyrhythms, basically what happens throughout most of this song is that Guitar 1 is playing in a different time signature than everything else. Ignoring the chorus (which is different - I'll get to that in a second), the sequence played by Guitar 1 is six notes long, and it's all eighth notes, which would seem to indicate a 6/8 time signature, particularly when Guitar 1 plays the first part of the intro by itself (the intro is oddly only 3 measures of 6/8 long, but otherwise doesn't seem unusual). Then the other instruments come in...and they're all in 7/8! What ends up happening as a result of this is that Guitar 1's sequence is shifted forward by four notes at the start of each repeat of the verse line, so it ultimately cycles back around to where the fourth line starts in the same spot as the first line does. VERY cool stuff! Anyway, Guitar 1 is all harmonics, they sound very processed to the point that they have an almost marimba-like sound, but I'm pretty sure they were originally played on guitar. Guitar 2 is panned to the left and plays the main ascending/descending line over an open low Db note during the verses, and Guitar 3 is panned to the right and plays muted strums (note that these are played over the 5th fret - they have a very defined harmonic-like pitch to them). Note that Guitar 3 enters halfway through the first verse, but plays during the entire second verse. The chorus section is in regular 4/4 time, and Guitar 1's note sequence changes accordingly there by adding a couple extra notes on each repeat. Also note that the last two notes played by Guitar 1 and the last muted strum by Guitar 3 are left out at the end of each chorus.
