Dismember - Nenia

Standard "lowered" tuning (2 steps down)

Listen for the timing.. there are a lot of tempo changes in here 
but it should be more or less ok however.. 

Well, I decided to transcribe this song cause for five long years I haven't
found anyone that could (or would) do it for me.. I think it's one of the most 
beautiful slow songs of the entire heavy metal genre and it strongly "deserves" 
to be listened to, to be transcribed and played.


Riff A (Intro)

   C5             Bb5             Ab5              G5

|--7---------------5---------------3---------------2---------------<10>---|
|--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Well.. this song is doubled by the 2nd GTR in almost all its parts.. 

The C5 chord is probably doubled by a low C5, the Bb5 by a high F5,
the Ab5 by a high Eb5 and the G5 with a high D5..

The 10-9-10 melody is probably doubled playing a 5th upper, while the 9-7-9 becomes
a 9-7-10 with the last note on the F string I put between those <>..

For the rest of the song I'm going to tab the main guitar riffs, transcribing the 2nd one 
only when necessary (the work would take plenty of time, too much I think..)   

Riff B (Main)

  (C5)             (Bb5)              (Ab5)                 (G5)

Repeat Riff B doubling the last three notes.. (9-7-9 and 9-7-<10> as before)

Riff C (First Solo)

Okay, now back to Riff D
