First Of The Year Equinox

tabbed by: Hans Lindig
This masterpiece was written in a swinging eighth rhythm, so two eights after another mean a quarter and
an eighth within a triplet. The same goes for all other combinations like eighth - quarter - eighth and
so on.
You will need an 8-string guitar for the first part and tune it a half-step down. For the other parts, a
6-string is also OK. The tuning is again Eb standard, although it is possible to play in E standard. But I
wanted all guitars to have the same tuning, otherwise it's a bit confusing (especially for me when I tab
the song).
I hope you enjoy the tab and don't forget to rate and/or comment!

DROP
This isn't exactly the drop as in the original song, I mixed it up with how I play it on piano. On guitar,
there are of course more ways to create a really dubstep sound.
