REAPERS - MUSE
Tabbed by: Rory H
E-mail: rdeh10@googlemail.com
Tuning: DADGBe
Ok, new Muse song, personal favourite from what we've heard of Drones so far. I enjoy playing it so much so
I thought I'd put my (not quite perfect) tab up :) It does in places require some kind of pitch shift pedal.
Matt (guitarist) uses a digitech whammy, I get by with a behringer ultra-shifter.
If there are any modifications or improvements you'd like to make, please don't hesitate to comment or email me!
