Pain Of Salvation - Tongue Of God --------------------------------- From the 2017 album "In The Passing Light Of Day" Words by Daniel Gildenlow, music by Daniel Gildenlow and Ragnar Zolberg Transcribed by Travis Lausch Another really easy song, but not as simple as it seems on first listen. There's a lot going on with the rhythm guitar, and there is a distinct lead guitar part in the choruses but I felt it more prudent to get the rhythm guitar parts down. Some of the parts may or may not be correct, and I made sure to mention each one. The only second guitar part I transcribed is the ending guitar part, since it's not really clear which one is the "lead" and perhaps you'd want to play both. For a video of me playing through this tab, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U6ktW6LQDM Intro Piano until 0:51 w/distortion let ring--- P.M--------- let ring------
