Crimson II tabs.. lets go to town!!

[ChromeLife]

Hey... I think the board should try to tab crimson II... its a ton of work for one person.. but it everyone helps then it shouldnt be too bad... It seems like it would be a great song for someone to learn... it has parts that are pretty technical and hard.. and also some easier stuff.

To get started I suppose we need to know the tuning that it is in.. and thats about it!

 

[Blekota]

Good Idea! I thing it's in A tuning (like Crimson I).

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Yeah, I was thinking of starting to jam with the album, I just couldn't figure out what the tuning was (not that I actually tried too hard, but hey )

*goes to check A tuning*

 

[ChromeLife]

Im working on a part of it... Im not real good with the ear though.. hopefully it will be enough for someone to fix it..haha

Hey you guys have a great idea here of tabbing out one of the best songs ever composed. However iam in the works of playing it and i cant pick between DGCFAD or standard tuning were did you guys get A tuning from? Listen to a shitty NU metal band like slipknot that play in A then compair them. Seems to low but if you heard it from dan (which is my guess then cool) but if you just heard this from a person then please tell me so i can continue in D tuning or standard tuning.

ok after another few fast forwards on the ol compact disc player here is what i think about the tuning. im listening to Crimson I so crimson II is prolly the same way but to lazy to change disc. One seems to be broken into different parts in tuning as well its like the clean shit sounds standard or D (not drop D) then around 15 min into it does sound like A tuning for a while then gets back on track. Yet i have learned with bands like soilwork tuning is like looks they can be deceving.

Im pretty sure Dan said it was in A... though Im not positive.

Well, I just ran C2 through a pitch shifter so I can play with it without re-tuning (I tune to C#), assuming it's in A (it's easy to redo if it's in something else). Damn, it's actually quite a different perspective on the song, listening to it 4 semi-tones higher (but at the same speed), it just feels different. And it sounds like black metal vocals

[edit]lol, and Dan's clean vocals sound like a woman (just got to one of those parts)

haha! .. nice

i dunno now after hearing the in flames style riff on PT.2 (the riff reminded me of something very close to one on whoracle) Im pretty damn sure its in C tuning you get the low e chunky sound and the high strings are more melodic and rich in tone so that has to be it.

 

[yourdeadgroom]

well much of the song seems to be in the key of B, so I think it's in atleast B tuning (there are other EOS songs that are in B), and I think A may be it, I dunno

 

[ChromeLife]

I am pretty sure it is in A.. and he plays in the key of B a lot... mabye he can shed some light on it.

 

[L0bster]

Nono, It's ´tuned B folks. Dan told me a while ago.

The deal: Crimson I = Two guitars in A, dans guitar in Nightingale Tuning

Crimson II = Schecter Celloblaster 5 string rhythm gutar tuned B for riffage, BC rich guitar for soloing.

Now: start tabbing :]

 

[Dead_Daylight]

heh i got a better idea instead of spending time on tuning play what you feel sounds right hell i can play a song thats in c# in D tuning and make it sound right bc the way guitar is you can mimick notes if you know the shit so lets do this shit and fuck the tuning lets all pick a tuning and go to town however please not A heh my guitars arent gonna wanna hold that and im not stretching my holes in my tuning pegs not worth it to me .

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Yeah, I just played through with the album yesterday, I was gonna say it's definately in B, but LObster beat me to it

 

[Ergol The Ineffable]

If you guys are gonna tab it, could you please use Guitar Pro or something?

 

[L0bster]

I use Guitar Pro when tabbing. Just uploaded my version of Twilight on Mysongbook.com BTW, should be there soon.

 

[Dead_Daylight]

all i have is power tab could someone link me a site to get guitar pro please and thanx in advance for your kindness if anyone even does heh \m/

 

[Torenstain]

Yes! A tab of the amazing Crimson II, I can't help since I'm such a crappy giutar player . What I really would like to see is the riff that starts off in the 8. track, incredible indeed!

 

[The Grand Design]

Yeah it sounds to like B Tuning to me.
