Tuning: E A 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=8wXjxAFfhv0 (Live at Knust, Hamburg, Germany, 2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE9P330oIIU (Live Yotaspace, Moscow, Russia, 2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDlNcrNWjw (Rainbow's Gear And Home Studio Tour) * In my search of The Birthday Massacre's live performances I found that both Rainbow and Michael Falcore play the same melodies throughout most of the song in ensemble (except for the solo). Seeing as they play in different tuning however, I provided two different tabs. * Both guitarists in the band use unconventional tuning. Michael Falcore tunes his guitar in DADGBE (Drop-D) and Rainbow plays DADDAD. * None of the tabs below are official. === GUITAR 1 (DADDAD TUNING): Rainbow === [GTR1 Intro: Distortion]
