Scorched Quadrant Scar Symmetry solo tabs

[bassisace]

I tried the fingering of @Bakerman and bar 4 is just weird to play. The sequence of slides in the last run feels weird and I don't hear chromatic notes when listening to the recording at 0.25x speed, but I do hear the triplets.

Too bad Per won't release official tabs

@Bakerman I also think that the legato part between frets 9 and 14 in @HungryGuitarStudent 's transcription in the tapping run is correct on strings 1 and 2, no slide between the last two notes of bar 2.

It actually makes more sense when you play it to tempo.

I had also considered this for meas. 3-4. It's tough to keep the last E non-staccato without sliding up out of it, but maybe there's a new take spliced in around there.

My guess would be that’s not how Per plays it.

I can play the tabs from @HungryGuitarStudent at 80% tempo. I can’t go faster because I suck not because of the tabs fingering.

I can’t for yours. Your fingering just isn’t natural.

Here's the solo and next background lead/solo sections.

Thanks for the tabs! As mentioned before, not sure I agree with some of the fingerings and note choices, but if people can play it at tempo then great More than one way to play lines, which is what makes guitar so fun

Well Per Nilsson just re-posted on Instagram @HungryGuitarStudent ’s cover of the Scorched Quadrant solo, so I guess this settles the debate lol

Thanks man! There’s no secret, just consistent work (and I don’t consider myself good compared to others on this forum).

@HungryGuitarStudent Did you tab the chononautilus solo?

I learned 98% of the Chrononautilus solo but I didn't transcribe it yet.

I'm still debating some fingerings for the run at 2:43.
