Citizen Erased
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Track 6 on origin of symmetry

MUSE are the best band in the world and there isnt a decent tab of
this tune so I thought I would put one on the site.
This is the correct way to play citizen erased - taken from
the CD and from live performances
The song is played on a 7 - string originaly but it can be played
on a normal guitar if you tune the E string down to A.
This tab is pretty long because the song is 7 minutes long + the
song has various guitar parts in it -- if you dont understand
the harmonics or anything else then mail me
#####################################################################################
Intro Part 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guitar - no bass or drums - (rough guide to rythem - check CD)
Part of the intro is played with harmonics - the first one is found
in-between the 2nd and 3rd frets (2.5*) and the second one is found
above the third fret (3*)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guitar 1 plays the second part of the Intro four times while guitar
two plays this - it can be hard to hear as it is a quiet part with
delay and other effects - I added the lyrics to help show what goes where
'Break me in........................teach....

3.50 - solo
~~~~
This is the start of the solo with guitar two playing the 2nd part of the
intro riff played through twice then the chorus riff played once while the
solo is being played on top of it.
The solo can only be pulled off properly if you use a Digitech whammy pedal
and a good distortion pedal - preferably a z-vex fuzz factory -
^ means bend + change pitch with pedal
~ means vibrato
" means trem pick
