Title : Declaration
Artist : Killswitch Engage
Album : The End of Heartache
Record Label: Road Runner Records
Date: 7/14/2004
Transcribed by : sumpm1
Tuning : B F# D A E B
Release Notes : This baby was pretty tough. This is my first tab submitted
woohoo.For correct timings, listen to song, I am quite sure
that everything is right. As for the tuning, all of the
other Killswitch Engage tabs say that they use a Drop C
tuning, but I can attest for sure that there are plenty of
their songs that go lower than C. This songs is in B.
I have never seen KE play live, so I can't say what their
actual tuning is, but I have never seen a picture shoot of
them, including their newest video with 7 string guitars.
It's just a 6 string with standard tuning very low at B.
