[A] _ _ _ _ So we begin with section A in Darkness Descends and we're starting at the root note A, 7th
fret on the 4th string.
Then playing to the open 2nd string and back.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We're then going
to play the E note, fret 5 on string 2, back to the root note again and then to the 6th
fret on string 2.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ To finish this line then we're going to be playing frets 5 and 6 on
the 2nd string and [E] back to the 5th.
_ [F] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] So the line will sound like this. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F] _
[A] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's really
not much difference in the 2nd line here, that's bars 5 to 8.
We've got a couple of
different notes happening so everything starts the same. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
But we're going to vary it up [G] in
the 6th bar with fret 8 on the 2nd string.
_ _ Descend then back to the 6th [Em] and 5th fret
[F] on the same string _ [E] and _ then 5th fret on string [C] 3. _
_ _ So it's really just a bit of a variation
[A] on the ending.
_ _ So these 4 bars sound like this.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ [A] So for the next 4 bars we've got a little
bit of a different thing happening to begin with.
We're going to do fret 5 on the 2nd
string with the root note, _ _ _ _ _ _ then fret 6 on the 2nd [F] string, _ _ back to the root note, _ 5th
fret [Am] 2nd string and _ then we're going to descend on string 1 with frets 8, _ 7 and the open string. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] So these 4 bars will sound like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ In the last 4 bars of section A we begin like we
did just previously in those last 4 bars.
So the root note [Abm] again, 5th fret on 2nd string
[A] and back, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fret 6 again on [Eb] the 2nd [F] string, _ back to fret [A] 5 _ and this time fret 7 on the
[D] 3rd string.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So now we get [A] this. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Am] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ And to end with [C] we're basically utilising an A minor
triad.
So 5th fret on 3rd and 2nd string, _ _ _ root note, fret 7 on [A] 4th string. _ _ _
