Cure for the Itch - transcribed for guitar by Astat

Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Strings 1)
Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Strings 2)
Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Piano)

Obviously, there isn't any actual guitar in this song. However, I've seen some other transcriptions of this song that weren't the greatest, so I decided to make a more accurate one. Strings can be emulated pretty well on a guitar by using some delay/reverb and volume swelling into each note to simulate the effect of a bow (if you have a Sustainer/Sustaniac-type pickup in your guitar, it would come in handy for this as well). I was originally going to arrange this for 4 string parts, but I figured it'd be easier to combine 4 parts into 2 to make things a bit more interesting to play on guitar. You need a guitar with more than 22 frets for the piano part, unless you want to play that in standard tuning and move everything down one fret, or use an octave pedal and play it lower on the neck. A note on all the string parts, I didn't use any hold/sustain symbols (~) in this tab, since the strings are all sustained constantly anyway, except for a couple spots where they cut off, which I've just noted with "(x)" notation in the tab.
