Red to Black - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Semi-distorted) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Semi-distorted w/wah) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/delay) *Note* All guitars on this track are humbucker-equipped (either PRS's or Ibanez RG's). Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. This song is the most guitar-driven song in the Fort Minor catalog (except for maybe Cover and Duck), and Mike really put together some nice riffs for it. Guitar 1 repeats through essentially the whole song, Guitar 2 comes in here and there, and Guitar 3 supplies feedback at various points before coming in with a ton of distorted harmonics at the end. Guitar 3's outro part isn't EXACTLY right (although I've updated the tab a couple times in an effort to make it a little more accurate), as it's a very improvisational part with a lot of feedback and random string noise. The feedback fade-ins earlier in the song are also approximated, as they consist of 5th fret harmonics on the 2 middle strings, but the "dominant" feedback note switches from one string to the other midway through the sustained feedback (hence the second note in parentheses). Also, watch out for the two spots where all of the guitars stop briefly, one is at the end of the intro, the other is at the end of the last verse.
