Heres another song by Ancient Rites. This one was more boring
And I started to realize how badly this record was produced
(you can hear abrupt endings of backings, badly tuned guitars,
...). More boring to tab, but an excellent song nonetheless !
I got pretty sloppy on this one and not everything will be
100%. So, sorry for that !

Here the two guitars play the same, but one guitar has
The treble a bit higher (I guess) and another effect
so it sounds like the Pitch of the second guitar is a
bit higher.                                           _

Pull up your whammy bar a bit when you pick each note
From the 2nd guitarriff.

This is just like before. The same riff is played by
Two guitars only the 2nd guitar has another effect
With a bit more treble so the pitch sounds higher.    _

This is all tremelopicked. The amount of notes is not
correct of course, but I tried to get the relations
between the amount of notes right. This riff is yet
again played with two guitars who play the same but
the 2nd guitar has an altered effect. I know this riff
doesnt sound correct, but I really cant figure it out.
My guess is the guitar wasnt tuned right when they
Played. Ha well, I hope some one can find the correct
version

The backing is hard to hear but trust me its there
(somewhere). I didnt have enough place to write the
simple solo two times with perfect timing under the
backing riff, but you should start the 14 on the G
string when the backing above it begins and you should
end with the 10 on the e string when the backing ends.
Sounds complicated, but listen to the song ! If you
Hear clearly, youll know what Im talking about.

This is all tremelopicked. The amount of notes is not
correct of course, but I tried to get the relations
between the amount of notes right.
This is the only riff I know that is not right. It isnt
very correct, but my guess is the second guitar wasnt
tuned properly (so as the 1st guitar, because that lick
isnt correct either)                                 _
