It sounds like the guitar has a lot of effects on it. To me it sounds like An octave pedal with two outputs: The original tone(notated) with a clean sound and the lower octave with a slight distortion. Both of these sound to have been fed through chorus and delay effects. Got me, so here is my best :) (No Flames, at least I tried. Kind Corrections appreciated) White Feather Marillion Misplaced Childhood (Track 10) ~ Play Twice ------5------5-----10----------------10--5------------------- --------5------5---------7---------7-------5-------7>5>0----- ---------------------------7----7-----------------------7>5>0 -7---------------------------7----------------7-------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- This next part is tricky to hear, cause there is so much going on with the guitar and keys and effects. This sound close to me. You can expand upon this if you want to find something that you think sounds better. Palm Muted ----5----------------5----10-------------------10---5----- ------5-5-5-5-5-5-5----5------7-------7---------------5--- --------------------------------7---7---7---7-----------7- -7--------------------------------7-------7--------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- This is more or less the pattern that most of the rest of the song follows, with all kinds of overdubs and little fills that are hard to hear. I'm sorry that it isn't exact, but neither am I. It mainly centers around a slightly muted pattern on the top two strings. Enjoy!
