Back to Carcass Tabs

Carcass - Edge Of Darkness Tab

Playing note-
First make sure that you tune your guitar down 2 1/2 steps (B standard
tuning). There is nothing more terrifying then a guitar tuned down this
low. And note that Carcass has two guitarists so there are two guitar
parts, I have put them both down but if there is only one guitarist in your
band, like mine you can easily mesh the two parts together. just listen
to the CD to figure it out. And just remeber timing isn't specified to
much here.
