When They Come for Me - 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 and sub-octave fuzz) *Note* All guitars on this track are humbucker-equipped (likely PRS Custom 24's). Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. Guitar 1 first appears in part of the intro, then returns during the second half of the bridge and plays for most of the rest of the song. Guitar 2 enters during the bridge, then also plays for most of the rest of the song. Both guitars drop out for the outro, with the exception of a quick little 4-note sample of Guitar 2 that appears at the 4:43 mark. Not really sure what Brad's reasoning for playing this in standard tuning is, but live videos confirm that he does so. The effect on Guitar 2 is a pretty vintage-sounding fuzz with a lot of low-end overtones, like an old Fuzz Face or an MXR Blue Box. Instead of sticking a bunch of blank staves in between the "fake ending" and the spot where Guitar 2 plays those 4 notes during the outro, I just put a time marker for when that little sample appears. Lastly, a note on the whole tab in general, this song is played with a dotted rhythm/swing feel (essentially a triplet rhythm, but with the middle note of each triplet left out, so the notes are still grouped in twos), but for convenience's sake, I've tabbed everything as though it's played with a straight rhythm. This doesn't affect Guitar 2 much since its notes are relatively spaced out, but it makes a difference with Guitar 1. Again, the whole song has a swing feel to it, so it probably won't cause any problems, the rhythm should just come to you naturally by listening to the recording.
