Guitar Tableture for FATES WARNING's - Down To The Wire
Transcribed by Jesse Rink (WalkerBoh@aol.com)
Notes: I realize it may not be 100%, but what do you expect?!? It's darn
close and you will probably be quite happy with it. Relatively short and
repetitive rhythms, and an easy solo, make the song quick to learn. So
have
fun and leave any comments to my email address listed above. see ya...
I'm always looking for new Dream Theater and Fates Warning tabs... If you
have any you'd like to send me, let me know! Up The Irons!!
Notation: x = mute
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
p = pull off
h = hammer on
() = 2nd time through play THESE notes instead
(b) = bend full step up
(B) = bend half step up
I did not add vibrato key notation. Use your head.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FATES WARNING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
