if the fret numbers are closer to each other it means 16th notes,
usually.
Corrections welcome as long as they're not along the lines of "you're stupid,
that's not how you play the song!" - this is a synth song. Yes, I know that.
This is more or less what I play when I play along to it. You can hear the
changes pretty easily. It sounds better if you run it through some effects
(mutron bi-phase and some reverb make it sound pretty good. Playing with a
pick is recommended for the staccato sound that the synths in the song have.
If I get some requests I'll get the guitarist in my band to teach me how
he plays the melody synth parts and post it.

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 SKINNY PUPPY 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.
