Thrice "Betrayal Is a Symptom" Transcribed by Jim Bodenschatz (enevolaprime@yahoo.com) *NOTE* For this song's intro, I have borrowed excerpts from transcriptions that other tabbers have done and added a few things to make it as accurate as possible. I didn't want to release this tab without giving due credit to those who deserve it. Also, a certain amount of credit must go to Ed Breckenridge (Thrice's bass player) for confirming that this song uses only half-step (and not half-step/dropped C#) tuning. My sincerest thanks goes out to all of you. 1/2 step down (low-to-high: D#-G#-c#-F#-A#-d#) Intro/First Verse (part 2; 0:13): guitar 1 (with distortion and phase)
