Powerless - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Semi-distorted w/octave splitter, delay, and reverb) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 4 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/reverb) Guitar 5 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/reverb) Guitar 6 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 7 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) *Note* Guitars 1, 6, and 7 are humbucker-equipped (most likely PRS Singlecuts). Guitars 2, 3, 4, and 5 are Fender Stratocasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. Lots of guitars on this track! Guitar 1 is the same one present in Tinfoil, it shows up throughout most of Powerless as well. Guitars 2 and 3 play palm-muted octaves in the second chorus, Guitars 4 and 5 are the main distorted guitars that play octaves during the bridge, final chorus, and outro. Guitars 6 and 7 show up in the outro playing powerchords. Not a whole lot of variation to make note of, with the exception of Guitar 1 at the beginning of the last chorus, where it drops back down to the 19th fret at the end of its "usual" riff, instead of staying on the 21st fret like it normally does elsewhere. Other than that, pretty straightforward song...the verses on this track are very unusual timing-wise, they alternate between bars of 3/4 and 4/4 time, but thankfully there isn't any guitar in those sections, and the rest of the track is in regular 4/4 time! Also, like I mentioned in my tab for Tinfoil, there's a small one-note backwards guitar sample that shows up in quite a few places in Powerless, but I've chosen not to tab it.
