DESPERATE GRAVES - The Mars Volta

Tabbed by: Steve Dubuque
Email: sdubuque_vp@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

PLEASE NOTE
-----------
This tab is not 100% complete. And while close, it's not 100% accurate either.
Some idiot gave me 2 stars on a tab I made for Luciforms because it wasn't 100% complete.
With that tab, as well as this one, I am merely providing a starting point (and a solid
at that)
for whoever wants to use it.
Here's a link to a video of me playing this tab.

1:09 *NOT EXACT*
God bless the person who can figure out the exact chords Omar is playing.

2:59 *NOT EXACT*
These are the "chords" during the breakdown. (When I turn the dial...)
Omar plays some lead with either heavy phase or wah.
Am C Dm F E (Repeat)
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
===============================================================================
i think the chords at 1:09 are the A power chord twice then two F power chords then E flat. then G sharp and A. then the second time played it descends the A minor scale after the E flat chord
sounds better like
More like this I think:
