GUILTY CUBICLES - Broken Social Scene
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: A.J. Conner

Tuning: If you have a tuner that you can re-calibrate the HZ,
calibrate it to 430 HZ (just a little bit flat from standard).
If your tuner doesn't do this, just listen and you'll notice
the guitars are all tuned a little flat. It's worth tuning
to them. I guess it's a quarter-step down?
This song is an instrumental; a swirling arrangement of many guitars
playing a fantastic melody, and I tabbed out all the parts I could hear.
The times that each guitar enters are noted.
I also noted the times the one guitar plays each of it's segments,
because there are random pauses after each time it plays.
Enjoy :) I like to use a decent amount of reverb and subtle delay.
Guitar One - Main Riff, played for duration of the song.

Guitar Five - After the initial melodies are established, this guitar
adds some neat improv. riffs. Remember, all the other guitars are just
playing their parts behind this. It's all very subtle, yet sounds incredible.

At 2:00, Guitar Three changes it up to:
Then Guitar One rests shortly, while this riff is played.
From then on, Guitar Three just alternates between it's two parts.

That's it! I tried to get every riff played that I could hear and every
last guitar I heard as well, comment or email me if you see any errors,
or anything I may have missed.
