Angel's Thanatos from Silent Hill 2 Music by: Akira Yamaoka Tabbed by: tylersaintcool Tuning: (B E D G B e) Key: B Phrygian Notes: This song was originally recorded using a seven-string electric guitar. I assume you have a six-string, so just tune low E down to B and A down to E. Don't worry about the other strings. If you do have a seven-string, well, no need, just keep it in standard: B E A D G B e Lastly, there's a lot of random harmonic/palm muting/open string strumming throughout RIFF A every time it's played, but the chords remain the same. All I know is that the palm muting and harmonics are placed on the third fret, and the open stringsare often G and B, and sometimes G and D. Tab explanation: . = natural harmonics > = accent (strike, not strum) x = palm mute (x)= after performing previous note, halt by muting strings) ~ = vibrato (number) = let ring Intro (heavy distortion): Riff A harm. > harm. e|--------------.------------------------------.----------------| B|--------------3-------------x-0(x)----------x3----------------| G|-------------x3-----------x-x-0(x)--------x-x3-----------x-x--| x 2 D|-----------x-x------------x-x-------------x-x------------x-x--| E|--3-3-3-3--x-x---3-3-3-3--x-------3-3-3-3-x-x---3-3-3-3--x-x--| B|--1-1-1-1--x-----1-1-1-1----------1-1-1-1-x-----1-1-1-1----x--| Riff B (heavy distortion): e|------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------| E|--2---2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2--| B|--0---0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--| repeat: Riff A x 2 Riff B x 1 Riff C (two guitars, each playing their own octave) [heavy distortion]: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2-------| D|--0-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~--| E|-------5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5-------| B|--3-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~--| Riff C (continued): e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2---------2-------| D|--0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~-0-----1~~--| E|-----5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5---------5-------| B|--3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~-3-----4~~--| repeat: Riff A x 2 Riff B2 (heavy distortion): e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--2---2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--2--(2)--| B|--0---0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--0--(0)--| repeat: Riff A x 3 Riff B x 1 Riff A x 2 Outro (Riff B2) [heavy distortion]: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--2---2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--2--(2)--| B|--0---0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--0--(0)--|
