The Contortionist tabs

Jtizzle · 09-05-2010, 09:56 AM

I've always been ok with The Contortionist, but after Exoplanet, my view on them completely changed. This album has become one of my favorites of the year. I'm LOVING the riffing and all the stuff they use, and they really sound like a band I wanna take influence from, since they have pretty much everything I love (heavy shit, clean vocals, ambient parts, clean melodic guitars, and all that). So I guess I decided to start a thread for The Contortionist tabs, mainly for their Exoplanet stuff. There's a couple of their older songs tabbed out around. I could find a few if y'all ask, I know ultimate-guitar.com has like 4 or 5.
But yeah, I'm currently working on Advent. Will post results soon.

acauseforpatric · 09-05-2010, 01:52 PM

thanks for starting this thread! I really hope we can get the whole album tabbed. exoplanet is probably the best album to come out this year.

Jtizzle · 09-05-2010, 10:55 PM

Haha, well, it is up there with the top releases, I can tell you that.
This song is pretty hard to tab out, I'll probably have a full, complete GP tab by the middle/end of this week for Advent. Someone should get working on some other songs

dylan71971 · 09-07-2010, 12:59 PM

album of the year for sure, im heavily interested in their tabs haha

The Beard · 09-07-2010, 07:49 PM

I'd be extremely interested in some tabs as well

I'm currently waiting for my CD/Shirt package to arrive in the mail

Tree · 09-10-2010, 01:03 PM

Working on Contact right now.
I'll upload it as soon as it's finished

leandroab · 09-10-2010, 07:54 PM

'Bout how far are ya?
And if it's not to much trouble, could ya give Advent a go?

I've got the first 30 seconds of the song figured out on a 7 string tuned to Drop Ab, i'm not much of a tabber tho

Jtizzle · 09-10-2010, 09:21 PM

I've got a "skeleton" of advent going. It doesn't have much of the arpeggios, at least the correct ones, but I'll try to get done with it asap. They play in Drop G# on 6s btw :P

I'm only about a minute in, as I've just started college and am busy writing my own stuff. But as soon as I have something worth contributing I shall

Also, Ultimate Guitar has some REALLY rough tabs of the old versions of Flourish and Oscillator. So anyone looking to learn parts of those should start there

Tree · 09-14-2010, 07:44 PM

Part of "Contact"
I'm sure a lot of it is wrong, but I don't have very much time on my hands now that I've started school

So hopefully this will help someone out

SPBY · 10-06-2010, 04:21 PM

Bump, I'll try my best to tab out Oscillator. I love that song so much. Vessel is also one i'd like to try out.

penguin_316 · 10-06-2010, 09:21 PM

Tree...I am hearing the chord in Contact as something quite different to what you tabbed. Not complaining, just doesn't sound right to me.

Yeahhh I did that in about ten minutes AND I'm really bad at hearing chords

abswisher · 12-03-2010, 06:46 PM

Sorry to bump this but I Googled "The Contortionist tabs" and this came up. Haha. Anyways, I think I have the intro to Flourish nearly down.

MutantMindframe · 01-28-2011, 12:14 PM

Bump.
I really wish there was a larger effort going towards tabbing out their masterpiece of an album. What gives?

I fixed the rhythm in the intro and got about 30 seconds of drums on the Ultimate-Guitar Oscillator Guitar Pro tab (Tabbed by DestructoX), here's the file if anyone wants to add on to it:

oscillatordrums.gp5

DanielBTBAM · 01-29-2011, 10:25 PM

I agree there should be a larger effort... Really want tabs for this band!

Tree · 01-30-2011, 12:05 AM

I put in a little work everyone once in a while, but school keeps me incredibly busy. I put a decent dent in Flourished earlier today, but I'm still only about 1:30 in.

guambomb832 · 01-30-2011, 12:49 PM

Can someone please tab out Primal Directive?

notasian · 02-06-2011, 11:24 AM

i love the solo on occilator!!! im hoping someone will come up with the rest for florish and some riffs for void cause they are sick!

thumbs up for dgent!!

Gemmeadia · 02-07-2011, 12:26 PM

I agree! This cd was definitely my favorite for a whillleee. I know contact is in drop A# from reading one of their posts from the band somewhere about it. The intro is pretty easy to figure out if you think about it! Really fun to play too

shattered · 02-13-2011, 03:31 AM

What tuning is Primal Directive?

If this helps, I tabbed out the intro of Primal Directive, but I put it on a 7 string. It can easily be changed.

EDIT: Made tab 6 string.

Cogito · 04-14-2011, 03:28 PM

bump for me wanting a tab for oscillator
