In The Flame Of Error Tab
Artist: Coheed and Cambria
Track: "In the Flame of Error"
As Played on: Year of the Black Rainbow
Tuning: Dropped D Flat
Tabbed by Lawrence Jones
The verse riff and bridges in this song can be very
difficult to hear. I used Audacity (freeware) to
manipulate this track so that those parts could clearly
be heard.
Key:
/ - slide towards bridge
\ - slide away from bridge
. - palm mute
p - pull off
h - hammer on
~ - let ring
b - bend to sound like the following note
r - release bend
* - natural harmonic
v - vibrato

Note: This can be heard just before the guitar
starts. It almost sounds like a scream.
