I have tried for fucking months and there is just too may guitars happening here to make out what is what. Please if you can figure this out post the tab. I want to earn it so fucking bad. Mainly to play to myself honestly.

If you solve this mystery I will owe you my life.

I'm really bad at trying to tab things out.

There's a lot of harmonics going on in that song. Doesn't seem too difficult. Harmonics played over chords and/or fingerpicking.

If I were you, I'd just play harmonics along with the music until I figured it out.

Yeah I've pinned down three guitars: harmonics, rhythm, and lead doing some small riffs.
It doesn't seem hard its just there is so much happening its hard to figure out who is doing what part.lol

I'd start with one aspect of it and work from there. Maybe the harmonics first? They really jump out and are pretty distinct. Yeah, it's a bit difficult to determine what's what because of all the background noise being pretty distracting. Once you figure out one part of it you may have an easier time getting the rest to fall more easily into place.

Yeah I've manage to find out MOST of what lead is doing (which is good because I play lead), but I need to learn it all. It's a great little instrumental, a little creepy, but still great.

I thought it pretty, but am annoyed by the extraneous noise they added to it for the sake of adding noise.

Confession: I love the sound of the microphone being knocked around. Not just the clicking and everything, but the way the frequencies of "silence" are cut off or emphasized or whatever. Listening with headphones makes it sound like your ears are under pressure, like in a swimming pool or an airplane, which is a really cool effect that I can't recall in any other recordings I've heard.

But yeah, I just really like this song/album in general.
/biased?

I know those sounds are supposed to be there, but I always look around the room to see what's making the sound. I mean, I like musique concrète as much as the next guy. IDK.

I'll listen to it with headphones.

I love it. Brand New are really good at instrumental tracks when they do them and live they always add little instrumentals. I hate their first album but their last two (Daisy/Devil and God) got really weird and heavy...which I love.

I still gotta findout all the parts to this.lol
