Aimless Arrow - Converge
E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: millarso (Jake Miller)
Tuning: Drop C (Dropped A string ½ Step, Dropped D string 1 step)
UPDATED 08/27/13: djerzinski recommended a tuning variant which allows you to
play a fuller dissonant chord, and I think I prefer it.

NOTE: Feel free to add that extra 7 to the dissonant chords if you want a little more
grit.
NOTE 2: It actually feels easier to me to play the low C string notes with my thumb.
It frees up more room and fingers, but I know some frown on that. If you watch some live
videos, it looks like Ballou might be using his thumb.

SECTION 2
NOTE: Every note in this section is tapped. Try to mute any string that is not being
tapped as much as possible. Above each bar I will place an L or an R for left hand tap or
right hand tap. I suggest using your pointer and middle to tap the right hand.
