An Epic Of Time Wasted Chords & Tabs
An Epic Of Time Wasted Tab
Artist: Avenged Sevenfold
Album: Sounding The Seventh Trumpet
Song: An Epic of time Wasted
Email: rexxdoggy@yahoo.com
Yeah I saw that only one person tabbed this song out. It was a pretty good
tab, but he left some stuff out. So I decided to tab out the song and everything
he left out. So yeah, I also give credit for this tab to the other guy who tabbed
this song out, Matt, 'cause I used his structure for mine.
Tuning: DADGBE
Basic Keys:
Pm - palm mute
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
<6> - harmonic
P - pull of
h - hammer on
x - muted string
~ - vibrato
(There are two guitars, but most of the time they play the same riffs. I'll
label the riffs that where the guitars are different. And also, the question
marks after some statements just mean that I don't know the right term for
the riff)

The harmonic was hard to find. It's the only one that sounds close to the
song that I could find. Or you could use the alternate ending presented
