Void - Balance And Composure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: rockfan7
This is a pretty awesome song, a great opener for the new album, here's how I play it.
It's really easy, I'll try to explain it for those who don't think so though.
Tuning: Standard, Capo on the first fret, everything is relative to the capo.
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|----4--4------4--4h2-----0--0------2--2-----------------------0-------------------0--|D|---------------------------------------------2--2h0------0h2--------2h0------0h2-----|A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|-0---------0----------0---------0---------0-----------0----------0--------0----------|
Repeat that pretty much until 1:42 and then start it after that part.
and at 0:37, the "Blinded void, gaping hole" part. the second guitar plays this (you can
figure out how many times you play it) it's low in the mix, but it's just the chords in
8th notes, it's kind of in a weird spot where it changes to the G and the A power chord.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|B|---------------------------------------------------------------|G|---------------------------------------------------------------|D|--2-----------------5-------7------2---------------------------|A|--2-----------------5-------7------2---------------------------|E|--0-----------------3-------5------0---------------------------|
Or an octave higher like this
e|------------------------------------------------------------------|B|------------------------------------------------------------------|G|--9-----------------12-----14-----9-------------------------------|D|------------------------------------------------------------------|A|--7-----------------10-----12-----7-------------------------------|E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Or switch half way though, I usually build the octaves up the last time building it up
in E F# G A B C# D and slide down into the next part
The next part (1:20) I just play a Em chord and continue the little intro thing with
more gain, I think there's a little guitar melody but I didn't figure it out yet so just
play this every two measures if you're just playing rhythm
e|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------------|D|--2-------------------------------------------------------------------------|A|--2-------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then play this at 1:42
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------2brbrb2h0-----------------------------|D|--2-2-2-2-------2-2-2-2-------2-2-2-2--------------------------------------------|A|--2-2-2-2-------2-2-2-2-------2-2-2-2--------------------------------------------|E|--0-0-0-0-------0-0-0-0-------0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------|
Then play the part before again and then at 1:59 ("All said and all done, all said and
all done" just do the thing for the "Blinded void, gaping hole" part except louder and
more powerful by strumming these power chords again
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|B|---------------------------------------------------------------|G|---------------------------------------------------------------|D|--2-----------------5-------7------2---------------------------|A|--2-----------------5-------7------2---------------------------|E|--0-----------------3-------5------0---------------------------|
Basically play the 3 (G) and 5 (A) power chords when he sings "Knowwwwohwoahoh" after he
says "All said and all done twice", eh you're smart you can figure it out.
Play that a few times and end on the Em

That's how I play it, comment suggestions, or tell me I'm wrong or whatever.
