TOOL - "parabola complete" Tablature

Official TOOL Tablature & Sheet Music »

this song is pretty pimp.its got lots of diferetn parts so there isnt really a
way to call them verses and chorus and stuff.so i am just gona put when they begging in respective to time the only effects you need is delay
and if you have a johnson millenium. best preset would be 84,"too heavey"
and another cool thing about this is for al the people who dont have seven
strings can play it.eveen though tat why i bought mine.everything is inorder in
contrast to the song so once you read something and play it it wont be played
again.i hope im not confusing you.so without furthur adue.i give you
