Band: Trivium
Song: In Waves
This is Trivium’s first preview single from the fifth studio album. I think
this is Matt Heafy’s tribute to the
Disaster that happened in Japan early 2011… Not 100% sure on that though
!!!READ!!!
You could count this as the bass tab as well because the bass is basically
the same as the Rhythm all the way though except for the outro, which I have
added at the bottom as it’s slightly different.
Tuning: Drop C# (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#)
(Tune all strings down ˝ a step and then drop tune)
Hammer on: h
Pull off: p
Slide up: /
Slide down: \
Vibrato: ~~~
Palm mute: PM
Bend up: BU(?)
