Pain Of Salvation
Pain Of Salvation - Scarsick

This song's guitar parts are all about texture. I couldn't even be bothered
to tab out a lot of the parts, because they're either buried in the mix, or
there are so many of them that are really playing nothing. I haven't included
the order of the riffs or anything, you'll have to figure that out
yourselves. And it should be really goddamn easy to do that. I used a couple
of live videos to confirm hand positions in the intro and other riffs.

So basically, the trick to this song is to "feel" it. This isn't your typical
"precise" prog-metal song. The guitars are almost purely textural in this
song.

7-string tuned to A E A D G B E

There are plenty of guitar noises involving bending the string with wah in
this section. I can't be bothered to tab them all out, but they're pretty much based 
the 7th fret on the 4th string, and occasionally following
the chord progression of the chorus. The part is occasionally played with
power chords as well, rather than just single notes.
