Flotsam and Jetsam
- The Master Sleeps -
When The Storm Comes Down
tabbed by PelzR
Some words to this tab too... like me N.E. Terror tab this begun as a Guitar Pro tab some years ago.
I lost my interest in tabbing this song and the fact about the bad production of
this album didn't help
me to make a good tab out of this one. I think there ARE some mistakes (specially
the rythm. parts during
the solo), but at least that tab can be a good start for further corrections.
The song can be tricky sometimes, I only tabbed it in a very basic way. You have
to learn the riff order
and structure of the whole song on your own. I don't feel like to make a song
structure this time as the
listening part was alreay complicated and somewhat exhausting. One note I would
give is that sometimes a
riff I played sounds right... after another try it sounds... not quite right. I
can not explain it, maybe the
production kills some of the note defination... I really don't know. Maybe my
guitar strings are going to their
end.
I didn't tabbed the solo and I'm not bothered with them. Hope that's OK. The way
it is tabbed isn't very good.
I know that. But it is better than nothing, isn't it?
