The Dismemberment Plan
(Intro)
This is the angular guitar riff off one of my favorite songs by these guys. Despite this
being a heavily mathy period for the D Plan, you can think of this riff as being in 4:4
time. If you care more about this than me you can probably take the chord progression 
underneath from this.

"Chris"
Tuning: Standard

This starts are on an off beat, an eighth rest if you will. About 180bpm.

e|--------10---------------------|-----------------------------------------|
B|--------------------8----10b12-|--(12)r(10)------------------------------|
G|----8-----------10-------12----|--(12)-(10)---------------9--------------|
D|-------------------------------|---------------8----10---------10----8---|
A|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|

The unison bend is slightly out of tune. You want to the dissonance to show, this riff
has major 7ths, that F and G played at the same time, and the implied tritone in the
resolution. It's a precise riff, but play it a little sloppy too.
