 a lot of distortion and confusion at the end of that bit, can't tell if he's


 staying on the same chord but you can just strum away or mute strum, it doesn't

 on the second time around, the open strum chord at the beginning is replaced with


 an F# chord (5th fret), and stays like that for the rest of the times it's


 repeated.


 (also, I can't tell if it's another guitar doing it over or just the man guitar


 doing in in place of the chord, but when the high C chord on the 7th fret is


 being played there is also a guitar sliding up to the 9th fret D# string and


 adding slight vibrato.)


 


 now comes the SOLO, which I am not going to tab out because I have almost NO IDEA


 what he is doing, he makes it very confusing with the double guitar tracking and


 it gives me a headache to try to figure it out. I will tell you that it starts


 off on a slightly bent 12th fret on the D# string. If you want you can just


 improvise and do a shitload of hammer ons.


 


 after the solo, repeat this three times:

{t:To Cross the Bridge}
 {st:High on Fire}
 
 This is my favorite High On Fire song and I haven't seen a tab for this song
 ANYWHERE on the internet, so I decided to contribute to the world and tab this
 out by ear. I'm almost certain the beginning riff is correct, though I can't be
 sure because he's using two guitar tracks and it's a bit confusing at times.
 
 Tuning: Standard C, tune every string 4 steps down from standard (C, F, A#, D#,
 G, C)
 
 I will tab this out in the order the song does it, to minimize confusion, but I
 will also number certain riffs so I don't have to re-write every riff out
 
 (listen to the song to get the rhythm, in the beginning it's all 8th notes)
 
 Intro Riff (riff 1):

 {eot}
 on the third time of repeating that riff, he sort of trills/hammers on pulls off
 on the 3-5-1-3 parts, like such: 3h5p3-1h3p1
 
 after 4 times of that riff, this happens
