The Red Guitar Tablature
Author/Artist: Chevelle
Title: The Red (performed live on kilborn)
Album: Wonder What's Next
Email: [email protected]
By: Alpha-Q
Tuning: Down 1 1/2 Steps, (C#,F#,B,E,G#,C#) (Low to High)

PM = palm mute
p = pick up
() = ghost note (still ringing)
<> = natural harmonics
 = slide
... = keep playing until it's time to move on.
x = no note value (mute strings)

Note: I have looked over almost all of the tabs on  and found they are
all pretty good attempts at the way this song is played.  However, when I saw the video of them playing this live on kilborn, I noticed parts were wrong and also found the right way to play the song for the best accuracy.  I hate to add to the sea of 'the red' tabs out there, but I just think this one will work out best.  I took a look at c0z420's kilborn tab and just basically revised it and added a few things I caught with both my eyes and ears.  You can probably get this music video on kazaa or somewhere else if you want to verify.  If you are going to rate this tab lower than a 5, make sure to add a comment, and also watch the video before doing so.

Tip: I added the stroke directions (the way pete does it) to help with accuracy. 
Play the whole song with the same style stokes. (u=up d=down)

Throw in some random harmoncs too.  Where I ended is just the 
very beginning and ending of the solo, make up the rest yourself,
that is what a solo is! (waste of time to figure out exactly what he's playing)

Chorus here again x2

(I'm not sure if he means to play the harmonics or not, but they do come out)

--Just the bass plays to the end.

I think the live version adds a little more flavor to this song.
