Song: In The Shadows
Band: The Rasmus
Album: Dead Letters
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Tabbed by Andrew
These guys are an awesome band, check them out! They have one guitarist, but
there are several guitar parts in this song and they're all tabbed here. I
hate saying 'this is 99% right', coz I don't know if it is or not, but I spent
a while tabbing this, although it is my first tab. I've looked at their video
clip for this, and it looks like they play it this way. I've put two guitars
in, with the 2nd guitar alternating between doing what could be synth, and some
distorted guitar bits. 1st guitar is usually on top, 2nd just below. Listen to
the song, and figure it out!
Please rate this tab, and be fair. :) Rock on!
* = palm mute with slight left hand mute.
\\= slide down
[#]= Optional note
~ = tremelo picking
(#) = Harmonic on that fret eg. (7) would be 7th fret harmonic.
Intro - Clean 1st Guitar, 2nd Guitar with some effect or maybe synth.

Any comments, corrections or otherwise, mail me at xenolith42@hotmail.com Enjoy!
P.S. If anyone knows these guys personally, can you tell them to come to Australia and play some gigs,
or at least get some of their cds out here. At the moment I have to order them from America.. Thanks!
