Sequoia Throne Protest the Hero
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sequoia Throne - Protest The Hero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: TheOmegaKitten Email: yea right Tuning: Half step down Hey guys (and maybe girls) this is my first attempt at my own tab and let me start off by saying PTH is the shizzit, most definitely one of my favorite bands for sure. I know theres a lot of other tabs on this already (most of them wrong and unreadable) but i made this tab mainly to help beginner players (not unlike myself) to master this beautiful piece of art. Also because when i tried learning this song for myself most of the tabs already on here were wrong in some areas and right on in others, so this like me putting it all in one place. I am almost %100 sure on the accuracy of this tab and will bet your mother on it. Most of this was done by ear to be sure, but theres only so far you can go just by going on ear with a song like this so this instructional video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaFY01h0Pn0) I found was immensely helpful. Just to be clear, I tried to make this as easy as possible to read for everyone, I split the riffs based on what I believed to be the best way to learn this crazy song and did real hard to make the rhythm evident but if you cant make one out I suggest referring back to video. So without further to do..... It Begins: Play the intro here three times, note though that after the first time do a slide up the neck from the fifteen 15\ T T T T T T T T T e|----------------------17-------------------------| B|----17----15-17----15----15----15-17-------14-17-| G|-------16-------16----------16-------12-15-------| D|-14----------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| T T T T T T T T T e|----------------------17-------------15-17-15----| B|----17-------17----15----15----15-17----------17-| G|-------16-------16----------16-------------------| D|-14-------14-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| x3 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------5-7-| E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-4-0-1-0-0-4-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-7-8-4-5-7-----| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------7h9-| D|-------------------------------------------------------6h8h9-----| A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-5h7h8-----------| E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-4-0-1-0-0-4-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------| Notice the rhythm change when playing the E power chords, again refer to the video for help on rhythm. Basically its the same pattern as the one before, easy right?! By the way, when you reach the x2, repeat this whole section not just that bar its next to and then finish up with the last riffs. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2-2---2---2-2-2-----------------2-2---2---2-2-2-------------5-7-----------| E|-0-0---0---0-0-0-5-4-0-1-0-0-4-5-0-0---0---0-0-0-5-7-8-4-5-7---------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------7h9h10-9h10h12-2-| A|-2-2---2---2-2-2-----------------------------5h7h8-7h8h10----------------2-| E|-0-0---0---0-0-0-5-4-0-1-0-0-4-5-4h5h7-5h7h8-----------------------------0-| T T T T T e|-------19-------17-------------------------------| B|-12h15----12h15----12h15-19-12h15-17-12h15-------| G|-------------------------------------------18/19-| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| T T T T T e|-------------------------------------------------| B|-------19-------17-------------------------17/19-| G|-12h15----12h15----12h15-19-12h15-18-12h15-------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| x2 T T T T T e|------16------14---------------------------------| B|-9h12----9h12----9h12-16-9h12-14-9h12------------| G|--------------------------------------15/16------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| T T T T T e|-------------------------------------------------| B|------16------14----------------------14/16------| G|-9h13----9h13----9h13-16-9h13-15-9h13------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| T T T T T T T T T e|----------------------17-------------15-17-15----| B|----17-------17----15----15----15-17----------17-| G|-------16-------16----------16-------------------| D|-14-------14-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| Youre probably wondering why I split it up this way (haha).
