well since you have nothing else to do with your miserable life, then sure, go ahead and finish it
 
It is not so miserable but I will finish it. I have made your words a work of beauty and spun life into them rather than death.
 
Didn't read the tab and haven't listened to the song and won't ever read the tab since tab sucks and notation owns your soul but yeah, go ahead and tab it.
 
I wish I had some decent DsO tabs, I figured some parts out on some favorites but I don't have enough experience to really be confident in them, and I'm absolute shit at figuring out chords. (Obombration, Diabolus Absconditus, and Jubilate Deo plz?)
 
From what I can tell, DsO plays in either Drop D or D tuning (DGCFAD), but I can't really say for sure until I start the tabbing, which will be as quickly as possible.

I am considering doing this as a career choice, these'd be great portfolio works :D
 
Damn I've been playing a lot of them standard. I think I was hearing some low D's in some songs a while ago...think that was Fas or something.
 
In the song Diabolus Absconditus, the rhythm guitar during the intro gives it all away with an open power chord. I'm pretty sure it's DGCFAD but it might be DADGBE...One or the other :p
 
DsO definitely plays in D standard. At least on Kenose. The end of I would be impossible (or at least unnecessarily difficult) to play in any other tuning.
 
My guitar is currently tuned to Drop B, but i'm pretty sure SMRC in E standard.

Listen to Blessed ~1 minute in. Pretty sure the lowest note there is an E, and a few other strings ring out as though they are not being fretted per standard tuning.
