The Looming Dust in the Dark Guitar Tab

[Dauden]

Alrighty, well after going to search for some Woods of Ypres tabs on the net, to my shock/horror, I found that there were none! I thus made it my mission to figure out some WoY tabs. Here's the first one, of what will hopefully be more: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/w/woods_of_ypres/looming_of_dust_in_the_dark_tab.htm

Hopefully its right, sounds right to me. I've also been working on the chords for Shedding the Deadwood, which I've now finished figuring out, and should hopefully have a tab up for Monday

 

[Midnight In Winter]

When you get the tabs, you should post them here, in this thread.

is Shedding The Deadwood done with a clasical guitar?

 

[Dauden]

Originally, or by me? I'm quite sure its just played on an acoustic, well the main chords anyway. Gonna tab out the chords today, I'll post them here when I'm done.

Here's the chords for Shedding the Deadwood!

NOTE: Listen for the changing in Em/Esus2, it changes more then once each time. Also, during the verses, the bass plays a D after each Em chord, transcending into the C, but the guitar doesn’t always.

Intro: 
C G Em/Esus2
C G Em/Esus2 D   x3

C                     G               Em/Esus2
It’s no wonder I’ve felt so tired
C 			       G	             Em/Esus2  D5
I’ve witnessed the careless all running past me 
C			G	     Em/Esus2
While I’ve been told to ignore my desires 
C	   	         G		Em/Esus2  D5
And grow numb with understanding 

Am
I walk through theses woods 
G
I carry this deadwood 
Am		 G	      D
I am determined to see this through 
Am		     G
Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up 
Am		  G		    D
I must complete what I set out to do - For you 

C		     G                 Em/Esus2
It stayed on a shelf made of my arms 
C				G      Em/Esus2   D5
They had grown strong from giving support 
C			      G          Em/Esus2
I knew that my arms could hold out forever 
C		G	  Em/Esus2
It was my mind that’d grow tired 

Am 		  G
It’s been so long since I have questioned 
Am         G       D
What it is that I really want 
Am		G
Instead I follow your directions 
Am		     G
As you lead me on 
          D		     C
I can’t use it to build my home 
Em    D                      C      D
It will not fulfill my desires 
Em   D		      C                             D 
Some wood can be used to help build a life
Em   D                C                         D    Em 
This wood will be used for building a fire 

Em D5 Csus2 Dsus2 Em

Esus2		Em
Why carry this deadwood with me… 
Esus2		Em
…when were I’m going there will be living trees 

C		 B5 C      		   B5 A5 B5
Now close enough to carry it all to the end 
C			  D5
But throwing it all to the ground instead 

Solo: Em D C5 C5/B C5/A

Em
This bundle of deadwood 
D
The pieces they fall 
             C5				      C5/B
Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another 
            C5/A
Tumble down and pile up 

Em		     D	
It awkwardly spills like myself at a time 
            C5 
Like the time it had killed 
                C5/B                 C5/A         
Like every moment after it was collected and held 

Bm         D A      E 
I’d give up all that I started 
Bm  D    A            E
To pursue all that I wanted 
Bm     D     A       E
I may arrive empty handed 
Bm    D              A        E
But at least I will arrive

David, if you're reading this, mind telling me if I did an ok job? Its tough to pick out the chords sometimes, mainly in the solo section, but I tried my best.

[Midnight In Winter]

Aww, I was hoping for a tabbed out version.

Great work though.

 

[Dauden]

Thanks. It would be kinda dumb to tab out the whole thing in my opinion, the whole song is chord based, not riff based, so it just makes a lot more sense that way, a lot easier to play too.

 

[David Gold]

Hey thanks for making this available! It looks good, btw!

Now, may Doom-metallers begin to play that opening riff to try out acoustics guitars at music stores everywhere!

 

[neilyoungfan]

badass man ive been lookin for WoY tabs for over a year now it seems

Good publicity!

It does make more sense to make them in chords, I know. I've only just started playing guitar not too long ago and I still need to learn all the chords and such. It may be slow, but it will get done.

Sweet. Glad to hear its pretty accurate. How are the Shedding the Deadwood chords, ok?

And yeah, the extreme lack of WoY tabs was highly disappointing. I regularily don't tab stuff out, since most bands already have tabs, but when I saw there were no WoY tabs, deffinitely had to go figure a couple of tunes out. Still working on The Will to Give, some of the ending stuff is damn hard to figure out, and still gotta figure out the "satisfaction will come any time..." riff.

I found another tab for "The Looming of Dust in the Dark" somewhere. I'll try to find it and post a link so you can compare.

Here it is.

[Iced Guardian]

that is the same tab. i wonder if the author knows it's on that site too?

 

[SeanNZ]

The shedding the deadwood tab is quite nice. I'm glad someone finally made some tabs! Pity i can't sing anything like dave...

 

[Dauden]

Thanks for the little part to The Will to Give, can get some use out of it, hopefully can finish the tab up for that soon. And no, I had no idea that my tab was up somewhere else, but thats fine, if it gets around, as long as it still has my name on it, thats fine.

 

[David Gold]

Well thank you, but it's nothing really! Just start singing along with some of your favourite albums and try to match or harmonize the notes of the vocalist (start small and easy: I think the first album I started 'learning' vocals to was Metallica's "Load").

If you drive a car, you are at a great advantage because the car is a great place to practice and 'test' your vocals because no one can hear you and you can belt as loud as you can! I have an one hour long commute to and from work each day, = vocal time!

 

[sdmf2]

good advice there. recently i just started to do basically what Dave said... sing along with whatever I'm listening to (unless its Iron Maiden or something really high pitched). seems to be working fairly well

Owch...! *twitches*
Not as bad as "Reload" though.
