tabs by Yosukun from Germany
Song: Telecaster no Shinjutsu
Artist: Ling Tosite Sigure
Album: #4
Ling Tosite Sigure (Rin Toshite Shigure) is a alternative rock band from Saitama, Japan.
It also has some hardcore influences. The three members play instruments on a very
advanced level. Characteristics of their music are their high voices and screams. The
guitarist Toru "TK" Kitajima likes to mess around with a whole bunch of effect pedals and stuff.
He usually uses flanger, fuzz, delay and sometimes distortion pedals. Also some effects
that are similar to pitch shifters of whammy pedals, but they have their own unique
sound, so I don't know how to name them.
NOTE:
This always has been one of my favorite songs by Ling Tosite Sigure. I like to play it
because it has a very catchy rythm. The guitar parts themselves are not that hard. They
might be difficult because they sound very different from each other. Also, there a very
often abrupt and unexpected changes of the tempo. In order to play that song 100%
album-like you definitely need a flanger/chorus pedal.
