Grace - Lamb of God
Note: Sometimes I feel it necessary to notate rhythm, My conventions are as
follows:
W = whole note/rest R = rest
h = half note/rest
q = quarter note/rest /
e = eighth note/rest o/o = repeat previous bar
s = sixteenth note/rest /
t = thirty-second note/rest
q.= dotted quarter note
Tied note values are connected with an underscore.
example: s__(s) (a 16th tied to another 16th)
anything under: /--3--\ is a triplet
Double bar lines indicate the end of parts.
Bar lines occur every 4 beats.

And then there's one more guitar playing chords which I have a hell of a time
hearing. It's basically following a Bb, Gm, Dm, C type of harmony but it's a
bit denser than that. Here are my suggestions for chord voicings, although
I'm sure they're not quite what's on the record...
| Eb | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | | 0 | 3 | 0 | |
| Bb | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | | 3 | 3 | 3 | |

| Ab | 1 | x | x | 3 | | 1 | x | x | |
| Db | | 5 | 0 | | | | 5 | 0 | |
Just arpeggiate as desired.

Gtr 2 (harmony part - panned rightish - much weaker in the mix)
You can reference where these parts line up with Gtr 1 by using
the timings - e.g. (2:40) - provided in both parts.

2nd chunk (2:48)
Same as the first, only now it sits a 3rd above Gtr 1 instead of a 6th
below it. So even though you're playing the same thing, it sounds a bit
different because it sits differently against the lead part...

Gtr 3 (rhythm guitar underneath solo)
I'm going to save some ink and just write the chords once for each bar.
But the rhythm just sounds like steady 16ths so that's 16 per bar.

Repeat Main Riff with both endings.
Outro:
Basically the same as the Breakdown riff - those 32nds might be in the bd
too - sometimes I hear them and sometimes I don't. But it sounds fine
with or without that little "gallop."

Repeat 8X, end on a low C#.
That's all - everything should be pretty solid. I slowed it down and
split the channels for the harmony parts, but I wouldn't exactly bet my life
on them. Plus there's always the risk of typos - let me know if you see any-
thing weird.
