Aerials System of a Down
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AERIALS - System Of A Down ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Donald Morrison Email: atwa@hotmail.com Tuning: Drop D and one step down (C-G-C-F-A-D) KEY: -On tab: N\ - slide down from fret N (N) - note is tied to previous note, where N is the fret number -Below tab: * - palm-mute note -Above tab: N/4 - timing, where N is the number of beats per measure xN - repeat N times (repeated parts are marked by a double vertical line at start and finish) x - duration of note where x equals: w (whole note), h (half note), q (quarter note), e (eighth note), or s (sixteenth note); note that x. represents 1.5x +x - used when note is tied to previous one; x indicates duration (see above) - - allow note to ring out for an unspecified amount of time - found at the end of some songs NOTE: This song has quite unusual timing during the intro and chorus, following a 3, 3, 3, 3, 4 pattern. Although it could easily be written as 4/4 timing, I prefer to look at it as alternating between 3/4 and 2/4 timing. Also, according to some people, the -3-2-0- etc part of the intro and chorus is played only by the bass, while Daron only plays open strings. Either way I have included it in this tab.
