Aerials      Â
This song is in what I call D/C tuning. Tune all strings down one whole step. Tune low E string down an additional whole step.
It is not necessary to use this tuning. Just leave your guitar in standard tuning and tune your low E string down a whole step

OK, that was the intro. You never play Part B again. Part A is used thoughout the song. Practice this slowly until you get the pattern. With just a little practice you'll get it.
Here's where the verse begins. I am not going to show the strum for the 1st chord.You can figure that out by listening to the recording.

Hey Wes, perfect bro. just perfect. i have all the SOAD tabs from the original books. you couldn't have done a better job. most excellant. this is one of my favorite SOAD songs with a close running to Toxicity... ;D
Thanks Grim
I do not copy these from tabs. I learn most songs from playing a CD over and over and copying what I hear. I do not guarantee any tabs are 100% correct, but they're close enough.
Surprising, not too much response on the modern heavy stuff. Oh well, there's always Classic Rock.

Wes, check out the "Stupify" tab i post by Disturbed. i think it's pretty spot on to the orginal.
yeah a friend of mine gave me all the system of a down tabs that he got from buying the tab books there is only like 2 i think. one of Toxicity and steal this album. cd's
I pretty much do as you do to unless someone gives me a tab, sometimes i change it if it needs it..lol
you did A great job man. keep up the good work. i always enjoy playing your tabs.
What a great work Wes. I really enjoyed myself learning this song. I've finally gotten it to sound decently, but it took a few weeks :lol:
Surprising, not too much response on the modern heavy stuff.
Well, hope you keep them coming anyways, because this is excellent stuff
Thank you, thank you very much :D
I am surprised you could read it. In April the site was down for a few days. When it came back up the spacing was off on many songs.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It is a great song to practice argeggios. Plus, it sounds great.
Thanks Elvis
