Sinch
"Bitmap"
From the album Sinch
Tabbed by Joe Costello (jcostello86@gmail.com)
This song starts off with 2 minutes of keyboards, random effects, and odd acoustic
parts.
As a result, the beginning of this tab might not be accurate, but the guitar parts after that
should be fine. If anybody out there knows a better way to do the keyboard part, let me know.
Also, there's no real verse/chorus structure to this song, so it's pretty different.
I've tried to get the timing with the words in this tab.
Tuning: Drop-D (low to high: D A D G B E)
Symbols used:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
. = palm mute
Intro: Riff 1 (actually keyboard, arranged for guitar here)
Use a chorus effect for the best sound.

"If all this goes as planned I know we'll stay complete..."
Here, go back to playing the keyboard parts as shown till song fades out.
Play Riff 1 2x
Play Riff 2 once (fade out)
*Once again, the acoustic guitar shows up as the song fades out. He's playing some notes
the high e string. Not sure of the notes, so improvise.
That's about it.
-Joe
