Pain Of Salvation - Linoleum

Words and music by Daniel Gildenlöw
Transcribed by Travis Lausch

Guitars are seven-strings tuned to A E A D G B E (low to high)

This song is really more about groove than precision. Keep your playing loose.

Intro:

EIN! ZWEI! DREI! Daniel (right)
x x 5h7 7 7 5h7 7 7 5
x x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Repeat this twice, then Johan joins in on the left with the same figure played an octave lower:
x x 3h5 5 5 3h5 5 5 3
x x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Verse 1:

(Though it's hard to represent in ASCII tab, this figure is played in a manner where starts on an eighth note rest) Daniel P.M.------------------------------------------------|

Chorus:

Alright, this is a troublesome part for me because of the layering. Obviously, the main

Riff of the song IS played. But there's also that ascending

progression that I can't really pick out. I'm arranging it here as if Daniel is playing

Along with the main riff, but it could be that there are power chords in the

background, or that the progression is only outlined on bass while guitars keep playing

Main riff unaltered, or it could even be Johan doing the outlining. I'm

basing finger positions on a live video. Daniel

^ flutter wah pedal. In music video, Daniel is touching the string at various places without producing any harmonics which is something I have seen him do in live videos during songs like so he really could be doing that too, but I'm sticking with wah since sounds more like what he's doing, and it's easier to perform that way Daniel
