Parasitic Twins - Dillinger Escape Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jason (Autopoietic Boy)
Email: Jonah.Paszek@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
NIN-esque DEP song off Option Paralysis, though IMHO DEP takes it to a
whole other level with their cinematic, industrialish songs, infusing
it with some blues/rock influence, which makes DEP one of the most diverse,
confident, and talented groups in not only the metal or mathcore genre or
whatever you want to call the monster they've created, but rather one of the
most diverse bands ever to write music.
There is barely any guitar throughout this entire song except for a few
instances where it serves more like an ambient instrument, lending its
distorted sound to subtle transformations here and there throughout the
song. However, I have tabbed the song out for acoustic guitar, fusing
cello,violin, piano, glockenspiel (or perhaps xylophone or a synthesizer
w/effects) and some guitar parts. Probably one of the few dillinger songs
fit for an acoustic rendition. If you're a DEP fan or just a fan of this
song I'd give the tab a shot since it can be played solo or with one or
two others.

[With Bells, violins, and cello (upright bass?)]
**Notes on the high e and b strings designate the violin(s),
while the four notes played afterwards on a, d and b
are the cello parts, which are probably cello tracks played in reverse
from what I can tell by its warped quality typical of tracks played in reverse.**

[Either a xylophone, glockenspiel or some malleted instrument unless it's played on a
synth with a xylophone effect of some sort, nevertheless I've transcribed it for a second
guitar. I'm able to play the chords and this
Gtr. 2 riff simultaneously, but whether you're able to or not will depend on your ability.]

[Repeats to fade]
Pretty straight forward song to play, which sounds pretty decent on a
single acoustic with vocals, but if you have a friend or know anyone
who plays bongos and has a rice shaker or whatever they're called, and
perhaps either another guitarist for the second guitar parts, though they
can be played on a xylophone, glockenspiel, korg/moog/keyboard/piano, what-
ever. I imagine an "unplugged" session on this song would be awesome. Hope
someone will enjoy this.
