DESCRIPTION:
Info:
So I've been doing a lot of easy metalcore/rock songs lately, so I felt like I should try something a little bit more technical and progressive. Someone requested The Arusha Accord, but it would take a long time to learn one of their songs and there aren't many tabs, so I decided to do an Architects song that I had already practiced a bit instead. Seen Architects live twice, and even though I'm not a major fan, they are pretty tight and have good energy. This song has a really obscure tuning, and my 6th string was only a .52, so it was really floppy when tuned down to G#, making the song even harder to play.

Techniques/Tips:
- I consider this song to have parts which are really difficult, whilst some parts are fairly straight forward.
- The intro is fairly difficult, with an odd triplet picking pattern thats in a 7/8 timing, followed by power chords in 4/4
- The verse is also really hard, it has a bar of 4/4, followed by a 5/4, back to 4/4/, then the last bar is 5/4 again. The timing of the notes is also really strange, and string skipping with hammered on triplets fill in between the chugs.
- The chorus is all in 7/8, which I think I played pretty sloppy. The tapping is pretty easy however, with the right hand tapping the 14th, 15th and 17th frets while the left hand focuses on the 3rd, 5th and 7th.
- Outro is fairly easy, all in 4/4, easiest part of the song.

Version 2 by pretendevour on ultimate-guitar.com is perfect, that guy is actually a beast at writing tabs, I just changed the positioning of 1 fret on the pre-verse lick.
