Album: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3


Tabbed By: Marty Silbiger
email me at * with questions, comments, etc.


This tab is loosely based on a tab I found that had no name attached to
it...I found a few mistakes and decided to fix it up a bit.  Well, it
turned into a complete overhaul, and then I saw Coheed live and had to
overhaul most of my own tabs.  So, now these tabs should be very accurate.
I don't know much about the band's setup, but I do know Claudio uses a
very 80's-metal-looking white Explorer, and both guitarists have killer
tone and sustain.  On with the tabs...



s=slide
b=bend
h=hammer on





INTRO...
You could also play this riff on the A and D strings, but I saw them
live and the guitarist definitely played this part on E and A.  I
couldn't see/remember much of it, but I've done the best I can:

2nd guitar, 2nd intro rep.: this part is probably played with an 
eBow.  (Update: I don't think so - they just have a rediculous amount
of sustain on those guitars.)  Also, use a good amount of vibrato, 
esp. on the last note.

verse...use heavy palm muting.  Every fourth time you play this
riff, strum B5 and A5 six times instead of what's written -
listen to the CD for exact timing.

I couldn't figure out much of the bridge part(it starts with E5
and mixes in a few riffs here and there, most of it's not too hard
but there are a bunch of notes buried under the vocals)
but anyway, here's the riff right after the line "I love you too"...
