HEVYDEVY FORUMS

I've looked on mysongbook.com which usually has everything but they only had a couple of devin townsend songs. Anyone know where i can find guitar and bass tabs for devin's stuff?

Look in the musicians forum; there's some tabs over there. And try figuring some stuff out for yourself, it helps your hearing, technique and creativity.
I promised to make some more tabs, but I'm a lazy fuck.

oh good idea, shoulda thought of that myself.

yeah i usually am able to figure out crap for myself to some degree but i cant seem to do it for devin's stuff with much success. maybe its the weird tuning.

im not the best guitarist ever, i can figure out most songs by metal or rock bands, but im with you - not gunna bother with Devin, his music seems just too hard and it probably is in either weird dropped tuning or just open tuning.

like i said im not good

Devin's music is hard for me to transcribe mainly becuase there are so many other sounds playing at the same time its hard to pick out the guitar.

Exactly, there is so much layering and goodness knows what that it does make a lot of it very difficult...hence why the internet is rather lacking in Terria tabs me thinks

Actually, this will surprise you, but most of Devin's songs are not that hard (some exceptions here and there, e.g. Ants). The problems for me are the compression and bombastic sounds. Devin Townsend his music is just full; there's no space left for anything, which makes it pretty hard for me to focus on the guitar parts.

thats good to hear. since im not really a guitarist but a bassist, i still have trouble with stuff that most guitar players would find easy, but im trying to practice and build up my guitar skills. any easier songs of his you would recommend? So far i kind of know parts of away, canada, and 7th wave.

the one song i really wanna learn is Truth but for some reason the download from the musicians corner forum wont work for me.

Deadhead is bloody easy, I should know

you can find here http://www.mysongbook.com/files/-/-4311/Townsend%2C%20Devin%20-%20Seventh%20Wave.gp4 GP4 tab of Seventh Wave!
