[URL=http://www.niletabs.netfirms.com/cast%20down%20the%20heretic%20guitar.htm]Cast Down Tab[/URL]. It sounds right to me.[/QUOTE]

Oh it's him. That site belongs to some kid who desperately tries to tab every Nile song perfectly and bragging about how accurate his tabs are, then gets Karl Sanders laughing at him because they're just as wrong as every other tab.

Although the intro to this tab is perfect because the Nile bass player, Joe Payne, tabbed it himself on their boards.

The section underneath this piece of text:

"[i]*read riff A for palm mute and repeat instructions* Then Dallas plays the following (all palm muted except the chords used and the slide out on the final bar."[/i]

...also was tabbed by Joe.

It does say this on the top of the tab but those are the parts I know are correct at least.

All the GP tabs I've downloaded so far are completely accurate.

Well they may sound accurate but they're not. Karl downloads them himself and comments on them.

i don't think its sooo important to have the perfect tab. you learn a song, because you want to play it and as far as it "sounds" right its ok. the goal for every guitar player should be to write his own songs - and learn other songs for inspiration.

If they sound accurate, that's all that really matters.

[QUOTE=The Unholy]If they sound accurate, that's all that really matters.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. I'll go on the Nile forum where Karl posts and see if there are tabs for teh songz.

Example- The way I play Sixpounder is a tad different than Alexi. Most part it's "right". It sounds good though and if you played it for someone and compared the actual song with it. You'd find a match.

Well most of you should know I'm an accuracy whore in all meanings. I love having the exact notes, exact fingerings, exact timings, correct tuning, pickstrokes etc everything. I'm like the only person I know like it so I don't expect any of you to understand.

But it's a pure fact that most of the Nile tabs are incorrect whether they sound right or not. They are in drop A so it's not exactly easy to get everything perfect, I know for myself, I tryed transcribing some stuff from AotW when I got it and gave up after a few minutes.

It's not important to have the correct tab, but personally, I like to.

But repcak, I have to agree about the composition thing, I definately need to find my own style and start doing some original writing.

the thing about this composition thing i got after reading some interviews with Chuck Schuldiner from Death. This man is just amazing!

read [URL="http://www.emptywords.org/GuitarSchool09-1993.htm"]this[/URL] interview; its quite interesting.

I know you are! :p

I care plenty about correct notes, tunings and such.
Pick strokes,
Only if it determines how the riff sounds.

IE, on lashed to the slave stick, The intro bar chords need to be down picked, otherwise it doesn't sound good.

I've become a tuning nazi though. I don't play things in the wrong tuning anymore.
Obviously sounds much better when in correct tuning. Except for Nile, I play in Drop D, since that's the alt tuning that sounds best with it.
Drop A is too much slack.

mastadon has their **** in drop A. i dont like that though

A G C F A D is not 'Drop A'.

i know, i never said it was that

Yes you did, you said 'mastadon has their **** in drop A'

Mastodon play in A G C F A D, that isnt 'Drop A'.

Drop A is also a retard term.

someone told me that they played in drop A. well thanks for correcting me

oic

Why is Drop A a retard term?

Because Drop A is A A D G b e, technically.

Like people call C G C F A D 'Drop C' when Drop C is C A D G B e.

C G C F A D is Drop D: Down a Step.

I see what you mean, but normally "Drop something" terms are used in comparison with Drop D. It just makes sense.

He's right. You'll see in tab books that it's addressed like this.

Althought it comes up alot and people like to argue about it.

Some may say the C G C F A D is drop C, some say that it's dropped C, some say it's drop D: Down a step.

The only time I've ever seen anything like B A D G B e, is for the Black Label Society song, The Blessed Hellride so I usually call it drop C too.

This thread is too full of technically :-\

[QUOTE=The Unholy]I see what you mean, but normally "Drop something" terms are used in comparison with Drop D. It just makes sense.[/QUOTE]

It doesn't make sense, if you think about it.

But it does make sense if you compare it to the entirety of the tuning Drop D; which is just stupid. Call it its' correct name, not what it is similar to.

[QUOTE=The Unholy]This thread is too full of technically :-\[/QUOTE]

Not really, just what things are meant to be called.

It's very annoying having to hear people throw around incorrect terms then try to justify them.

No wonder electric guitars are viewed so lowly.

Meh, i'll still refer to them as Drop A, C, etc
