Insanity

Transcribed by Brian Marble and Jason Landry


A helpful thing to have for this song is a classical guitar and smooth distortion. The beginning should be played with the right-hand (classical style), but can be played with a pick. On the main melody there are two guitars on measures 32 through 35 and also, during the repeats. I didn't write the second guitar in, but I'll explain what he does. All it is is a third (interval) higher than what I have written. Ex. the first note in the main melody is a D, so the second guitar would play a third higher, which is a F#. I wrote the chords played above the staff; I'll leave it up to you to play whatever picking pattern you choose, because it really doesn't matter what pattern is played as long as you play it in time. Hint: Use string skipping, it adds a better flavor. The ending is strange. The notes are simply an Em chord with an added F#. Something like: E,F,F#,E. Creepy sounding. I chose to use the B,F#,G,B pattern. I'll leave it up to you, but you have any suggestions, feel free to suggest them. I think that's all I have to ramble about, so now, Play It!!!!!! Enjoyyyyyyyyy.
