guitar tabs lyrics
Dredg - Matroshka (transcribed for solo acoustic guitar)
This song translates beautifully for a solo singer/guitarist. The album version is so
heavily laired that it's difficult for me to transcribe each individual part. As a
result I am tabbing this solo acoustic version of the song for anyone that wishes to be
able to use it for performance. Perhaps I'll do the full tab later on, either way this
will also give you an outline as far as bass notes and everything. Also please note the
solo has that pedaled E note which isn't really in the recorded version, I just put it
there because if your doing it on acoustic you'll want a little more body to the sound
so it doesnt sound so weak.
Listen for strumming pattern and switches. Big emphasis on the 'and' of 2
Intro/Verse 1 (when singing it sounds fine to just use the regular chord progression too
