Tom: D E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Aimless Arrow - Converge E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: millarso (Jake Miller) Tuning: Drop C (Dropped A string ½ Step, Dropped D string 1 step) UPDATED 08/27/13: djerzinski recommended a tuning variant which allows you to play a fuller dissonant chord, and I think I prefer it.

NOTE 2: It actually feels easier to me to play the low C string notes with my thumb. It frees up more room and fingers, but I know some frown on that. If you watch some live videos, it looks like Ballou might be using his thumb. TRANISTION E|--------------| B|--------------| G|-0------------| C |-0-(let-ring)-| E|-0------------| B|-0------------| SECTION 2 NOTE: Every note in this section is tapped. Try to mute any string that is not being tapped as much as possible. Above each bar I will place an L or an R for left hand tap or right hand tap. I suggest using your pointer and middle to tap the right hand.
