Atheist Tabs

[epitaph]

Allright.
I've tabbed out Mother Man for bass, and I'm going to tab more of Unquestionable Presence, and I'm going to post them here for them who wants 'em. Note, they are bass tabs.

Also, if someone thinks something is wrong with this tab, get in contact with me
and I'll correct it.

Has many tabs, but most of the bass tabs are wrong.

If you want your Atheist tabs posted underneath this text, let me know.




Also, if anyone knows how to play the solo in Green,
I'd be more than pleased to add it in it.

[AndThePsychicSaw]

Can you do a and the psychic saw bass tab?

[epitaph]

Damn, An Incarnation's dream and The Psychic Saw are the only songs I havent really played. I will try soon.

[Azathoth]

Possibly sticky this thread?

[cod_fury]

I see a couple mistakes on mother man... well i could be wrong but i know this is wrong for sure
Mother Man tapping
-12-12-------12-12-------12-15-------15-15-------12----------
-12-12-------12-12-------12-15-------15-15-------12----------
-------5---5-------5---5-------7---7-------7---7-------------
---------3-----------3-----------5-----------5---------------


it should be

-12-12-------12-12-------12-15-------15-15-------12----------
-12-12-------12-12-------12-15-------15-15-------12----------
-------5---5-------5---5-------8---8-------8---8-------------
---------3-----------3-----------6-----------6---------------

[cod_fury]

This is how i play it...see how it sounds for you because i could still be wrong anyway

[epitaph]

Holy shit, I've tabbed Brains for like 3-4 hours...
I'm missing one riff then its done...

[epitaph]

Yeah, will be next after Brains.

[carnis]

MY power tabs of Mother Man hasn't got the bass line I'm afraid. Some of my others have though.

[epitaph]

The tab of Brains is completed!
I will make Enthralled In Essence next week and probably The Formative Years too.

Will you do And the Psychic Saw?..... it may help us to remember the guitar parts..... when we practice it at our next rehearsal.... that song's a bitch ;)

I've never seen anybody write out the drum parts... I'm feeling left out.

[WhoCares]

hehe, feel free to write some for us Steve... if anyone knows them/can figure them out, it's gotta be you!

Personally I used to play bass... but I laid down my hopes of being a rockstar a long time ago, and decided to get into technology... still doing what I can to support the music tho!

[AndThePsychicSaw]

I've never seen anybody write out the drum parts... I'm feeling left out.

haha thats cause you are a nut!

I got And the psychic Saw tabbed out up to that little jazzy Bass/Drum part, and I got drums, bass, & 2 guitars. Done on guitar pro... Its far from right haha just more of trying to get it to sound half like it on the tab, because the drums are so brutal to write out on that program like they are played. The drums in that song are brutal!

[epitaph]

Will you do And the Psychic Saw?..... it may help us to remember the guitar parts..... when we practice it at our next rehearsal.... that song's a bitch ;)

I'd do anything what you guys would ask of me.
But I'm saying, Brains took me like 4-6 hours and I already knew about 75% of that song. I know about 25-50% of The Psychic Saw, so its going to take a while. I'll try.

[cod_fury]

My drummer can play Mother Man and is in the process of learning And the Psychic Saw so maybe i can ask him for some help or something.

[zyquix]

well then Psychic should only take you from 8-18 hrs. That's not too long.

[epitaph]

Yeah its not alot, but I tend to tab the song in a day or two, so it is in that time.

[quigonkick]

You people are all sick.

It would take me weeks if not months to get to where you guys are.

My hat is tipped, sirs. Much applause... :hbang32en

[ScottAlarum]

I've never seen anybody write out the drum parts... I'm feeling left out.

Don't feel left out man, your drumming is CRUCIAL to the Athiest sound. Most drummers have lives and can't be bothered tabbing out other guys stuff thats all :emot-LOL: .

[Corpseworm]

I personally hate working with tabs I'm too impatient. I was wondering in some of your opinions, is And the Psychic Saw tablature correct? I remember D/L Retribution and a lot of the tabs are wrong.

[pitchfork_man]

What tabs are you talking about?

He's talking about the 'Powertab' stuff that's online - it's mentioned in one of the threads here someplace. They have some of the songs, not all. And they have some of the guitar but not all - especially not the leads.
Helpful when trying to figure out a wedge but very aggravating when it's tabbed all wrong. Some of it was ???? - way off in another galaxy. At least they put forth the effort.
Corpseworm has a problem with his patience. Or maybe that was me with the patience issue. Can't remember.....got a memory issue too!

[epitaph]

Ah O.K.!

I just took a look at the And The Psychic Saw tab at Ultimateguitar
and it was really a piss poor attempt there.
So far I've tabbed about 33% of my effort.
Really no kidding, this must be the Atheist song with the most bass fill's ever.
Impossible for me to figure out all of them, especially when they are very hard to hear.

[ScottAlarum]

Psychic Saw has to be one of the greatest tech metal songs EVER! Fuckin love it. Hopin to cover it at some stage. :devil:

[epitaph]

About 85% of And The Psychic Saw tabbed, will be posted here soon...

[Thuathail]

Sweet, man. Looking forward to getting that one, lol.

[Corpseworm]

What tabs are you talking about?
Sorry Epitaph, I forgot that important info. Its on the Ultimate Guitar site. Peice of time has a couple minor mistakes but Retrobution has a few that would make a guitarist work too hard. After working on those 2 I just quit using the tabs cause I knew they where wrong. When Kelly and Tony came up they showed me the right way. I cant say they are all completely wrong but I may try and take a shot at tabing the stuff out for guitar later. Just a little to busy right now. :drool:

[WhoCares]

all this talk of tabs and bass and what not, I've just pulled my 5-string out for the first time in a really long time... my finger strength is all gone :(

/me wanders off to practice some scales...

[epitaph]

Shit I'm really stuck on the part at 1:39, apart from that I'm just missing a few fills, but I'd rather try to write something instead of leaving the spaces blank.

[epitaph]

Yeah, in other words sorry that this has taken so long, I just havent had the time to concentrate on it or to just pick up the bass right away when I have spare time.

[epitaph]

There you go, DONE!

[SteveFlynn]

My drummer can play Mother Man and is in the process of learning And the Psychic Saw so maybe i can ask him for some help or something.

Cod, can you guys make a 4-track or other simple recording of it? I'd love to hear another drummer play it and see how he does it.....e.g. does he copy me exactly, put in his own stuff...etc.... that would be cool to hear.

I'll work on that:)



by the way can anyone tab the slap bass part at 1:25 on Air....i cannot figure that out damnit!

[AndThePsychicSaw]

thanks a lot for the And The Psychic Saw tab dude!

[epitaph]

Made a few corrections to the Mother Man tab...
Also made the outlook look a bit more clever, I'll do the same to the others ASAP. I'll start working on some tabs soon too, this time probably from the other albums too.

[Corpseworm]

Allright.
I've tabbed out Mother Man for bass, and I'm going to tab more of Unquestionable Presence, and I'm going to post them here for them who wants 'em. Note, they are bass tabs.

I'm glad someone can put these together. Is someone able to get these 3 songs off elements for Guitar? Its got to be pretty difficult since I heard there are 3 guitars doing different things.
Mineral
Air
Green

[cod_fury]

there's a mineral tab for guitar pro made already at www.mysongbook.com

[Thuathail]

Great work, epitaph! Planning on posting them on Ultimate-Guitar/others?

[epitaph]

I already got Brains and Retribution in metaltabs, the other two are still waiting to be accepted.

[Evansduality]

ive tabbed ALOT of atheist stuff.. i really wanna post it somewhere as well as all the cynic stuff ive worked out over the years.. i wish i had more time to refine these things but alas, alarum's eating up my life right now :-)

[epitaph]

www.metaltabs.com
submit your tabs there

I added a few fills and one correction to the Retribution tab
I tabbed a bit of Water and Displacement yesterday, I guess those will be posted here next.

[epitaph]

Displacement and Water can be found from the first page

[cod_fury]

hmm the water slap part just doesn't sound right to me :emot-fail

[epitaph]

I think it goes for something like this:

|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-----5-5-5-5----------7-7-7-7-----------5-5-5-5--------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-0-x---------3-2-0--x----------3-2-0--x---------3-2-0--|
etc.

The sound quality kind of lacks this time.

[cod_fury]

well i'm positive he slaps low 3 times or so...it seems like victor wooten style slapping too

[epitaph]

Could be, I know one thing for sure.
I Cant seem to get ahold of what Tony played.

[cod_fury]

haha we need tony to help us!

[HailEvilChuck]

Hey all, just found this forum. Pretty sweet. Anyways, I have a powertab of Samba Briza, which I got off of MetalTabs. I doesn't sound quite right to me. I was just wondering what you guys thought?

[epitaph]

I think the PT for Samba Briza was pretty damn accurate, which part doesnt sound right to you?

[HailEvilChuck]

The timeing just seems kind of off to me. I could be wrong though. it might just be that pt sounds funny.

[zyquix]

is this the one with a bit of the guitar solo tacked on the end?

[epitaph]

I assume its this:
http://metaltabs.com/tab/10313/

[HailEvilChuck]

thats the one. Although, the bass is pretty accurate, as far as I can tell. Thats really all i'm interested in. it's the rest of it that sounds funny

[cod_fury]

which song's from Spheres?!?!?!

[epitaph]

Demise of time and Mind reflections

[epitaph]

The Formative Years are here!

[Rottenatomy]

Goddamn, i love the Live radio broadcast version of The Formative Years so much.

Hey Guys, i do have a guitar tab for Retribution on my site. check the banner.

Cheers!

[Element9]

I have a basic tabs for air & green I did for myself few years ago. Not much, but if somebody has time to go into details...

[gore_ridden]

ehm...well let's see, first of all to the guy working on the cynic tabs...why? cynic has their entire first album tabbed out on their webpage....and i know where to find some hard to find atheist tabs

http://www.angelfire.com/band2/myriad/tablature.html

ehm...good luck updating those though!

[epitaph]

Wheres the play button in that program?
My tabs still have alot to improve, but I'll do everything in time.

[zyquix]

gore ridden... who said they were making cynic tabs?...

and thanks for that link thats pretty fuckin sweet.

[gore_ridden]

that site is old, it took me hours to find it again! if i remember correctly there is no midi in that piece of shit program! that site is from the 70s or something...i talked to the owner you have his permission to use them...yep

[cod_fury]

the internet was around in the 70s!?!?!

[zyquix]

Yes, and so was Atheist.

[gore_ridden]

the internet was around in the 70s!?!?!


yeah i invented it. didn't you hear that gore invented the internet? thats meee they're talking about fool. :lo:

[epitaph]

Wheres the play button in that program?

You wont believe how pissed I was when I was searching for it.
I ended up deleting the program.

[cod_fury]

You wont believe how pissed I was when I was searching for it.
I ended up deleting the program.
i did the exact same thing as you... if i need powertabs i just import them into guitar pro 5.. and how about posting some of those Pestilence tabs :beerchug:

[epitaph]

http://metaltabs.com/member/epitaph/

[cod_fury]

Here's a Guitar Pro i worked on of Mother Man

[epitaph]

gp5...

[cod_fury]

i can email you the full version if you'd like...? i already emailed it to sonny :D

[epitaph]

Nah I'll stick with my version4

[epitaph]

Finally got to know how Tony played the last "riff" in Mother Man, so I corrected it and a few other things in the tab

[Corpseworm]

i can email you the full version if you'd like...? i already emailed it to sonny :DYes and thank you Cod Fury! I still have not used it though lol.

[cod_fury]

Yes and thank you Cod Fury! I still have not used it though lol.
Hahahaha

[bnm_lord]

Hi guys ! I'm doing a tab for Fire, but I can't find the dissonant chord which starts the song. Anyone knows ? It's the first chord.

[epitaph]

It would be a G# for bass. I have a guitar, but I dont know shit about chords. Its based somewhere around G#.

Edit: I think its something like this:

|-16-|
|-18-|
|----|
|----|

I can check it out with guitar once I'll get back home.. Silly school days,
from 8AM to 4.15PM.. Leaves no time for anything

(edit...)

[epitaph]

I'm almost done with An Incarnations Dream. I just need to figure out the crazy bass run at 1:30

[Rottenatomy]

Fell free to post your tabs at Rivers of Gore. I ensure you that we archive your tab by the time of the post.

[Azrehan]

If anyone knows a where there's a good tab for unquestionable presence I would like to know. I want to cover it in Sarsekim.

We have been likened to Atheist, but I don't think we sound like them. Check our forum on here if you want to hear the music.

Hey

Good to hear! I'll do it within a couple of days. I've been really busy for the past two weeks, I'll have that tab for Incarnations dream up very soon!

Heres a pretty accurate powertab:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/a/atheist/unquestionable_presence_power_tab.htm

Unless your looking for a bass tab. If you are, I can do it in time

[chipdixon]

Allright.
I've tabbed out Mother Man for bass, and I'm going to tab more of Unquestionable Presence, and I'm going to post them here for them who wants 'em. Note, they are bass tabs.

Also, if someone thinks something is wrong with this tab, get in contact with me
and I'll correct it.


:hbang32en CHEERS to you! I absolutely love playing along to ATHEIST stuff!

[epitaph]

Thank you. I added Mineral and an incompleted to of Incarnations dream..

[BullHorn]

Any Air basstab around? I'm in-love with that song. D:

Btw, epitath, in your tab for Displaced, in this part:

|------------9--------------------------------------9-----5----4--|
|----------9---9---------9-------------12-------------------------|
|-------7--------------9---9--------12----12------7-----3----2----|
|-10\---------------7---------7-10-------------0------------------|

I hear it as:

|------------9--------------------------------------9-----5----4--|
|----------9---9---------9-------------12-------------------------|
|-------7--------------9---9--------12----12------7-----3----2----|
|-10\---------------7---------7-10-----------10-0------------------|

I hear that D everytime after the 12 12 12, except when it goes 12 12 12 00 (ending of the first part and the ending). Amirite? :x

-EDIT: It appears that that "10" that I hear isn't it. It's actually Tony sliding from the 12th fret on the A string down to the 7th fret. I think. :x

[epitaph]

Sounds like fretnoise to me.. Caused by sliding down the fretboard.
I believe the song is mainly improvised by Tony, so I wouldnt mind such small things

[Azathoth]

It looks like the link to An Incarnations Dream doesn't work anymore. Do you(Epitaph) know anywhere else where it might be posted?
Also any plans on finishing Unquestionable Presence by tabbing the title track and Enthralled in Essence?

[epitaph]

Sorry for the late reply, dont know how did I miss this post.
Enthralled in Essence is on its way, cant promise anything about UP yet though, we'll see soon. I'll fix the link for Incarnations Dream soon, cheers

[epitaph]

Just submitted the tab at Metaltabs, I'll post it at the first page once it gets accepted:
http://metaltabs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=524241&posted=1#post524241

Will fix the two links at the first page too

Edit: And it seems that every time I'm trying to upload the file, it says upload failed.
I'll see if I can complete the two tabs and post them at metal tabs, however some of you
might know that I am lazy, so dont expect anything to happen within a day

[WhoCares]

email any tabs to me

I'll put them on the atheist webspace...

[Corpseworm]

Just an FYI, My thoughts where to start one after the reunion is complete. Chris and I should get together and work up a tab book and send it to Kelly for review. He can make certain adjustments if needed. Obviously we'll have the set done first and the remaining songs afterwards.

[SteveFlynn]

But, a tab book would presuppose that you play everything correctly :emot-LOL:

I'll do a tab of the guitar riffs I wrote...that way they'll at least be right :emot-LOL:

[Corpseworm]

Ha ha, your funny. Porky

[epitaph]

a tab book

Bass tabs? Is there a chance we'll see some from mr.Choy?

[deathmetaljunkie]

nice tabs, thanks

[epitaph]

The comment is appreciated. I updated most of the tabs, they should be on Metaltabs within a week. Some of the tabs can be found at www.officialatheist.com too

[WhoCares]

updated the site with your latest installment...

wonder if Chris or Sonny will ever figure out how to use notepad and submit some tabs... :P

[Azathoth]

Where on official atheist are the bass tabs? I only see links to the incorrect tabs from years ago. And it seems that Metaltabs is having some sort of legal problems, so you can't view them there anymore either.

[WhoCares]

noone has sent me anything besides Epitaph...

[WhoCares]

I have some new tabs I'll add later when I get back from the office...

[SteveFlynn]

I have some new tabs I'll add later when I get back from the office...

"Back from the office"??....listen Mac, your "movements" and what you call your trips to the loo are your business...though Sonny may have interest..... :emot-shak

[WhoCares]

haha no Steve, I actually have one of those job things I have to trek to... altho a 10min walk is hardly a trek though...

income = good

money in the bank = money for festivals

:D

[WhoCares]

Ok I finally gave up trying to sort all the tabs (there are a heapload) so I uploaded the rar as is to the site, it's in the news on the site...

There's still no drum tabs Steve... nudge nudge...

[metaldick]

There's still no drum tabs Steve... nudge nudge...

I don't have time to write them.

[Corpseworm]

I don't have time to write them.Thats cause you have to learn them first. Ha ha ha oo hoo hoo a ha. I kill myself. :emot-LOL:

[quigonkick]

I don't have time to write them.

You can write? :emot-LOL:

[PROPHECIES fORETOLD]

Just off topic: that link you have there of that website called " Doesnt exist.cjb or whatever" ....Is that your own website? That website is pretty cool but it hasnt been updated in years which is a pitty!:confused:

[PROPHECIES fORETOLD]

Well?!:confused:

[YpSiLoN]

Hi everyone! I just got registered.

I'm tabbing out Mother man on GP, with all the instruments, by ear and with a little help from some other tabs I found on the net. I'll post something here when I have it done, but I think I need some time to finish it.

Anyway, if you are interested in some Atheist's tab, just tell me and I can try to tab it out on GP.

Bye!

[Tolis]

Hey what's going on with tabs??Any chance to find something?

[bsoates2000]

Well I talked to Corpseworm and he said he was starting to tab some stuff..
Cant wait!
