Tuning: D G B E
Tabs for "Red Stars" by The Birthday Massacre.
NOTE: * Videos used to assist in writing these tabs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE9P330oIIU (Live Yotaspace, Moscow, Russia, 2016)
* The bass tabs below use Nate Manor's methods. I am not sure how Aslan (original bassist) used to tune
his bass but Nate Manor tunes the heaviest strings in D and G. I never managed to find out what
other notes he uses for the rest of his strings. For the sake of this tab I'll assume he tunes his
bass in DGBE.
* The solo starts on fret 1, sustains, slides to fret 11, sustains and slides back to fret 1. If anyone
is wondering why the slides are shown to happen prematurely: This is because slides can be applied
losely. It's the replucking that absolutely happens in synchronization to the beat and that's notation
I gave priority to. As far as I know there's no proper way to mark a pluck at the end of a slide so
this is what I'm going with.
* None of the tabs below are official.
