The bass "triplet" technique is reflected in this
composition, showing how complex and cool a metal
song can be (I think). The key is C# minor, and the music has a simple
structure of verse, verse, bridge, chorus. The bass
tapping solo in the middle
of the instrumental section is very simple to play, but
it sounds very strong and powerful (in the
neoclassical style).
The verse progression is: C#m5-F#m-B
The bridge progression is: C#m5-B-C#m5-F#m-F#m-E5-C#m5
The chorus progression is: E5-B-C#m5-G#-A-B
The record was done with a standard E A D G tuning, and
4 guitars were used to record: 2 Yamaha Pacificas,
1 Fender Strat, and 1 Kramer Flying V). There are 2
basslines in some parts, like at 0:26 until the first
verse, and in the tapping solo. |
