Up in Arms (Lead Guitar)

104 BPM.
This tab is definitely nowhere near finished, but since I won't be cleaning it up for a while, I decided to upload this tab anyway. It's not one of the popular songs off of the album, but it's the only song my program would let me analyze in its entirety. Otherwise I'd pay $80 to some sketch Swedish company. Yikes.

There are no demos for this tab, although I hope I will be able to produce, record, and edit my own by the end of this year.

God bless,

Greater than All (Rhythm Guitar)

Key of G, 158 BPM.

You're basically the lead, but for some reason, T-Bird doesn't play it, and the rhythm plays it instead.

As a result, if you're the only electric guitarist, play this tab, not the lead.

If you're the rhythm, the lead may want to play this tab instead, so talk to him/her before you start practicing.

God bless,

Greater than All (Lead Guitar)

Key of G, 158 BPM.

For some reason, T-Bird plays this one instead of the rhythm parts. I actually thought that this one was for the rhythm before I took a look at the demo video. Oh well. It is what it is.

So if you are the only electric guitarist for your team, I refer you to the rhythm tab.

If you are the lead, just land the timing of the G right before the instrumental.

God bless,

God in Everything (Rhythm Guitar)

Key of D, 129 BPM.

If you're the only electric guitarist on your team, don't bother reading this tab. I strongly suggest playing strictly lead instead.

If you're the rhythm, make sure that you don't make anyone flinch by either not matching the lead in the pre-chorus or not playing a riff that synergizes well with the lead's part.

God bless,

God in Everything (Lead Guitar)

Key of D, 129 BPM.

If you're the only electric guitarist, just play strictly this tab.

If you're the lead...well, do the same thing. CAREFUL though. Most of you will not even have to worry about this, but for the select few who for some reason are not familiar with the song in the album, you DO repeat the A note several times BEFORE the tab begins covering the song.

God bless,

-John Lee

Alive in Us (Rhythm Guitar)

Key of G, 170 BPM.

Now, if you're the sole electric guitarist on your team, combine as you see best fit. I don't recommend any role over the other. Just experiment!

If you pay even the slightest attention, you'll notice that the intro for rhythm and lead only differs by the bass note. If you don't like that, just play the bass note. Nothing else to note for the rhythm role.

Good luck!

Alive in Us (Lead Guitar)

Key of G, 170 BPM.

Some guitarists out there just play the higher notes, but playing the open G string at the same time sounds a lot better. So do it. It's in the tab.

If you're the sole electric guitarist, combine away! Save for the intro, there's not a huge reason to prefer one role over the other.

Nothing special to note for the lead.

Good luck!
