Bulb/periphery tabs?

[Balrogmoshpit]

Is there a Super Saiyan tab floating around anywhere??

[clems6belio]

Hey guys, I know my tab isn't perfect, that's why I posted it here ^^
I hope all of you, Periphery's fans, (and also Racecar's fans >.<) will check it to correct, arrange some parts which aren't accurate ^^

I love this song and I want to know how to play it correctly, if you can help me, please do it

[KoenDercksen]

I'd assume every person capable of doing so is already working on it

Also, come on for buttersnips and insomnia... Can't wait ):

[Static]

is there a not enough mana tab around here?

[clems6belio]

I have 2 tabs for Buttersnips (intro & solo) and one (which is pretty good) of Insomnia. → Free - Envoyez vos documents

1 thing you did wrong was the main or whatever riff (the one that starts off on the 28th bar) where it's 15-14-12 on the lowest string, it's supposed to be 0-14-12. In the video where Misha and Jake tries the Axe-fx + Atomic MB-50, Jake plays that riff so that makes me even more that it's supposed to be that way.

Okay thanks, I think you're right. I corrected it ^^

If you have other corrections, tell me

[Kurkkuviipale]

Owkay, so I really don't have time to correct these myself so i'll just point you the bars I hear major mistakes you've made.

So, the main riff. The notes should be correct except for the chords (and intervals), which seems to be flawed by notes as well. (Yes, the rhythm ain't right either.)
The main 0, 12, 14 seems to be, either somewhat correct or perfect, but the drums sound flawed. (Yes, I am a drummer as well and I know what drums should sound on GP.) Check that, because if you're wanting ppl to check your tab further the main riff really, really matters a lot.

As for the chords... Okay, so when you're tabbing, do ALWAYS check time signatures first. Especially when tabbing progressive genre. And Periphery does have a lot of odd time signatures, and time signature changes in their music, even between meters. (Meaning that the western "Either 4/4, or 3/4, changes appear only between parts, never inside a part [Chorus, Verse, etc.]." approach is braked)
What I'm pointing at is the bars 32-33 (that are repeated throughout the whole beginning). The time signatures (IMO ofc) goes 3/4 to 4/4. You can hear it from nuances in vocals, drums, guitar, and bass. That's the basis. When you have that figured out, figure out the rhythm. Then notes.

After that you should be able to move on to "B1" as you have named it. B1 is to my ear, perfect. So next on comes C1, witch also seems to be correct! Next flaw that i found was in the bar 82. The last beat of the lick should be triplets. (three 16th triplets and one 8th note) Not sure about the melody though.

Section of four bars that start from 83 should all be 4/4.

"Clean" -part is basically correct. Only for the notes, tho. Time signatures are wrong. When identifying time sigs it's always important to keep one thing in mind: Practicality. You are making the tab for people, who want to learn it and music is more than just notes and the basic rhythm. Always try to double check the chords after you've made them in the tab. Double checking is done by simply counting in your mind with in the time sigs you've just written (in this case that'd be 4/4 and 3/4, which I think are wrong) GP playing in the background!

IMO (I'm not saying that you can't think differently, It's all subjective. I'm just trying to make you think the way most practical and, well legit?) the bars should go like this: 6/8, 4/8, 6/8, 6/8. (Dot represents ending of a phrase) 6/8, 4/8, 6/8, 6/8, 4/8. (repeat, not sure about the last phrase though. It happens to differ a lot when dealing with Periphery stuff.)

When we get to back to the rhythmic sections (see? no corrections on the solo! ) I can assure you that 173-184 is wrong. By notes, and partly by rhythm.

190 has something dissonate in the harmony between two cleans that i don't hear in the original song.

As you have figured out yourself: E1 is "not absolutely accurate". You're right about that. Now again. Start from time sigs. Then comes the rhythm. Between all phrases be sure to check out that it's absolutely correct. That's the key to the most accurate tab.

About "Heavy riff" i don't really know about the notes. The notes sound right. Too bad that drums ain't really not that good. Check them!

Too lazy for A3...

F1. Not sure, but IMO there is no one guitar that plays the melody by octaves, but all the guitars (or some?) play the melody on the highest played string (and voice). Aka: Check the notes from lead guitar and change the little finger notes to those notes.

Anyone knows about the Drop-C thing? I'm not really buying the idea of guitar change in the middle of that song. (Oh yes I might be wrong as well)

Not sure about the 334 first couple of chords.

"Variante" sounds flawed. Not sure though.

I'd suggest to check out 361.

Loomis solo is ridiculously well tabbed, though the slow rhythms at the beginning are flawed. Thumbs up for that!

Check out "Heavy riff 3" again...

Suggesting you to check 470 time sig again. IMO it's 4/4 most of the way.

That's all for now. I have plenty of arguments for the parts I've mentioned, but if you think that my corrections are flawed remember that it's all subjective!

Ps. Try to get the instrumental version of the CD. It's a good help. Still remember to keep your ear on the actual song. Vocals can tell you more than you think.

[EtherealEntity]

As mentioned before - there's plenty of mistakes. I don't mean to put you down with that! Thank you SO MUCH for an incredible basis tab that just needs some touching up. Been waiting for this since the album came out and you've done an incredible job to finish this

[Kurkkuviipale]

^That's pretty much what I forgot to add to the text.

We are really thankful of your incredible work!

[clems6belio]

Thank you guys I love this song and I use guitar pro for years ^^


Thank you so much for your correction, this will be really usefull.
"Will be" because in France it's 11h30 pm and I wake up at 6 a.m tomorow >.< so I will check it then.
Then I absolutely agree with you, when I was too lazy or when I couldn't hear notes or rythm, I tabbed my own interpretation, so the tab is not accurate. But in a 15 minutes song, that's normal.

The tuning changes in the middle of the song yeah, I read it in the Misha's interview here → Guitar Messenger – Periphery: Misha Mansoor Masterclass (Part 2)


To finish, I did'nt understand all you say, for the same reason I don't speak well English, I'm french, but your comment was clear.
I know now what I have to correct.
Thank you for your help, this is what I hoped

[Kurkkuviipale]

No problem dude. I totally agree with the length and all... Have tabbed a few Periphery song myself and man, Totla Mad is only 3 minute long and I almost got frustrated at it.

The tuning doesn't change in the middle of the song. The tuning for Racecar is Bb Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. The reason Misha played that section of the song was because the guitar he had was a six string tuned to CGCFAD, which is only a half step down from the top six strings in the Racecar tuning, and that section of the song doesn't use the seventh string.

This times 1000

The biggest problem with this tab is the tuning. It makes some riffs extremely impractical to play, and also excludes some notes from chords. Changing the tuning will give you a massive amount of room to improve.

I'll look through the tab when I get home(about a week...) I may have mentioned it before, but Nolly showed me how to play most of the first part of the song, I'll try to correct what I can.

[clems6belio]

Should be cool, thanks ^^
