I play it ina slightly different way (C position capoed 4th fret). I will post that. Here are chords from my archive. -- removed the chords as they had slight error - J
tabs for intro capoed at 4th fret C position: Code: capo 4th fret G#------------------------------ D#-------0-1---------------------- B------0-------0------0---------- F#-----------0--2------0--------- C#---3------------3-2----3-2----- G#--------------------------0---- G#------------------------------ D#-------0-1---------------------- B------0-------0------0---------- F#-----------0--2---3---0--------- C#---3------------0-------2----- G#------------------------------ I play E chord in open C position capoed 4th fret behind the arpeggio sound clip: https://vorlon.cwru.edu/~jayen/IGT/vellai intro.mp3 I know guitarists who will play this without the capo in the same positions over the 4th fret, but i cannot manage it without the capo. I can only speculate how rahmans guitarist did it, the E chord sound in the original record sounds to be E in the C position, which led me to use the capo.
jay ,thanks for the tabs and mp3..unfortunately i don't have a capo right now,so i didnt tried it yet..but heard the mp3.. it was good... how did u figured it out "it was an E chord in C possition capoed on 4th fret" You must be having a golden ear... :nw: also heard "in the end" mp3 u posted...sounds cool...never knew harmonics could be this much fun...im downloading the original song by LInkin park right now... keep up the good work mathai
just play the song in C no need for capo.. and u do mean u r buying the song from an online store like iTunes dont ya
I must say the guitar tone is the coolest bit tweaking i have ever done on my Korg AX1G. I use a simple mexican fender strat with the pickup selector at postion 1.5 (or 2 these days where u have 5 positions) and i play it un capoed, to get the tone. i did some post processing to clean some buzz from the pickups..., and EQed my acoustic guitar track, and softened it a lil to give that 'angel' tone thats the only studio magic i did.

this sounds awwssommeeee thnxxxx jay....hey is there any way u could tab the whole songs... even chords would do me adores this song.. plssssssssss..... me would be grateful..... ........
jay You have cool gears man...i wish i had something like that,atlest a decent elc gtr.I have a givson elec guitar which is the worst of its kind and a korg AX100G.then i have an imported (sammick) classical gtr which was very cool when i bought it...but it started to change its tone and the strings r resonating too much now..now i wonder why i bought it,cos classical is something which u have to take it very seriously..im tryin to sel it off now.. mathai
sorry, i wasnt bragging.. au contraire.. i was trying to say u can achieve this sound with minimal gear.. the mexican strat i bought froma pawn shop for 45$, and the AX1G is the lowest end processor u can get.. (i dont have ax100 or those hifi stomp boxes)
jay being said that,i again looked at my post,mmmm.. ya its kind of bragging.. but i didn't mean that way. you are right AX100G is a good processor..but the guitar im having is no match to that...leave all that.. if u have finished transcibing "sanwariya" please post it... mathai
since u guys know a LOT ABOUT effect processors can any body tell me anything good about a Digitech GNX floor processor, i mean how can i create multi loops in that, it is an option in that but im kinda stuck wiht the recording itself... so if any one knows about hte floor processor i have please let me know
