Enemy by Blue Stahli
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: EK
Tuning: Drop A# (A# F A# D# G C)
NOTE: This tuning is rather low and can be too low for certain guitars. I used a PitchFork Electro-Harmonix
pedal to reach this tuning because my strings were not made for tunings like this. Tune at your own risk!
This song has a ton of dual guitar work for a Blue Stahli song, so I've indicated where there are two
guitars playing throughout the tab. Remember, Guitar II is ALWAYS the lead guitar.

If you don't feel like counting, basically Guitar II plays the same riff eight times, and the first four
times the riff is palm muted.

is Guitar II)

For the Bridge, I've divided it up into two parts. Part I contains the rapid notes and Part II is just the open
power chords.

I hope this helped! If it did, then do leave a rating, a comment, etc. I am currently trying to tab out most
of "The Devil," and, with this tab, I've officially covered half of the album! Keep an eye out for future
Blue Stahli tabs, and if you want me to prioritize any songs off that album, then leave me a suggestion
in the comments.
