Muse - Map Of The Problematique Tab

Required equipment (apart from guitar and amp):

- Pitch-shifting pedal controllable via MIDI (I use a Digitech Whammy IV)
- MIDI-USB cable
- Audio-processing program on PC (I use Cubase 5)
- Lots and lots of distortion
- A Cubase file that controls the Pitch shifting pedal (send me a mail if you need it)

Edit: added lyrics
