Parabola Tab

Band: TOOL
Song: Parabola
Album: Lateralus

I don't really know if all parts are for guitar, it could be that some are for bass, but I don't mind as long as they sound the same...
The dropped B/E Tuning isn't a strange invention of mine, Adam said in an interview in Guitar Player that that's the right one.
Listen to the song for the exact rythm and timing.
For any corrections, comments... mail to stupid_foolish_kickass@yahoo.com
