artist: mudvayne
 song: a world so cold
 album: the end of all things to come
 transcribed by: brad manz (brad@awayfromeden.com)

 i expected this song to be played in standard mudvayne tuning
 (dropped B style) but after messing around with that for a sec,
 i realized they actually tuned up on this one. it's in dropped
 C style tuning (C-G-C-F-A-D). that's dropped D taken down 1 more
 step for those of you who don't know.

 this song was a pain in the arse to figure out and tab, i hope
 you give me a good rating on this one, it was hard work!


 these are simply the chords used, you can figure
 out the strumming pattern and transitions yourself
 strum lightly and use chorus effect

 the (2p0) is actually the bass and not the
 guitar. note: most of the filler notes in the
 two below riffs are actually bass notes. the
 guitar player only plays the notes shown.

 structure and timing are changed a bit in this
 second verse, but it's still the same notes.

|----7---7---7---7----7---3---(0)---3---(0)--5---|
|-------------------------3---(0)---2---(0)------|

 these are three notes played behind the second
 verse, i'm not gonna tab out the picking variation, but
 it's only these three notes so you can figure it out.

 phew, god, i'm getting tired of tabbing this.

 these dissonant notes are really hard to figure out!
 i think these are some possible chords used in this next
 part of the song, i can't be completely sure. if anyone
 can figure it out, maybe append a correction.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------10--10----------------------------------------------|
|---15-15-14---7---7----------------------------------------------|
|---14-14-14-------7----------------------------------------------|

 the rest of the song is pretty much just playing notes at
 the third and seventh frets. mess around with it a bit. it's
 just stuff like this below..

 around 4:06
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|---5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5---(0)---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7---|
|---3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3---(0)---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7---|
|---3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3---(0)---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7---|

 around 4:45
 he just uses different alternations at the end of this riff,
 but it's just switching between the 9th and 10th frets on the
 C string (3rd one)
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|---5-5-5--5--5-5-5-5---5-5-5----10-10--9-10- 10-10--9-10--9---|
|---3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3---3-3-3-----7--7--7--7---7--7--7--7--7---|
|---3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3---3-3-3-----7--7--7--7---7--7--7--7--7---|

 two chords played in the background as the song is fading out.
