I have been searching for the tabs of your song "Durandal" for quite some time now. Do you have them and/or know where I could find them?

Many thanks,

I've never written tab for it - I don't do tab, and very rarely write
notes on a stave either, being mostly hand-to-guitar. But here are a
few pointers: [E-shaped means shaped like the root E chord]

Main riff: root position - the G note is played on the bass E string
- and for the D note, lift off the E on the 4th string.

"I am the nervous system" etc: E-shaped chord at the third fret, then
at the fifth - A-shaped chord at the fifth - E-shaped at the seventh.

"Do you want me to answer" etc: left hand right loosely across the
12th fret to get harmonics, but damped using the heel of the right
hand for staccato effect.

"Durandal will come to rule you all": E-shaped chords on 3rd & 1st
frets for G & F.

End of the jam: high twiddly phrase played at the 12th fret, dive-
bombing phrase played at root.

Fast section: starts on Em7sus4 (see pseudo-tab below)
12 13 14 <-fret numbers
* . .
* . .

- then the melody is played in octaves on the 4th & 6th string, then
some lead guitar stuff at the 12th fret.

Hope this is understandable!

Revenge.

By the way, how did you find the Durandal song in the first place?
And who are you???

I thought this was cooler than hell. I can't name one other artist who would reply to fanmail this quickly, or in this much detail.Maybe someone here can use this to lay some groundwork on tabs.
