BENEATH THE MIRE - Opeth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: *standard*
I know most of the album is in DADFAE, but...this is in standard. the
E string definitely isn't tuned down, and there's no reason to mess with
anything else.
Intro: from what i can tell, there are two guitars here but one is distinctly
louder than the other one, which is pretty much inseparable from the keyboard
melody. so, the notes in parentheses account for the second guitar, and i'd
consider that part optional, but it does make it sound a bit richer i guess
(my point being the stuff in parentheses is really just for your amusement;
those notes are definitely in the song, but it's hard to tell...where they're
coming from).

Riff C (you can play gtr. 1's part and add gtr. 2's G string notes)
also, there's another guitar intermittently playing an open G string,
not gonna tab that, but it's there...yeah. and there's a little rhythm
variation at the end but that doesn't need to be tabbed either.

okay, well there you have it. if anything seems wrong or missing, please
comment. also, if anyone's interested, i tabbed another opeth song that
there didn't seem to be any decent existing tabs for, serenity painted death
(which is version 2 on here, i think).
