We have an official Moonshield tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
In Flames - Moonshield
 
Standard tuning
Tempo: between 168 and 176
Timing: 6/8
 
 
First off i just want to say that NONE of the tabs i've seen online for this song are
and this one
 
isn't going to be either. This song is played in Eb, not standard tuning. (Check time
4:06 to 4:08) But
 
since all the other tabs claim it's in standard tuning, this is the way i learned it. In
is one of my
 
favorite bands, and this is one of their best songs. This tab won't be perfect, but i'll
my best to do
 
the song justice.

These notes aren't always repeated exactly as they're tabbed, but i'm pretty sure he sticks to these two
 
variations

For these three notes you could try using this instead:e------------|
                                                       B---4--- <=--|

                                                       A------------|
                                                       E------------|
i'm not positive about this Guitar 2 part, but this does make sense because these two notes are the same
 
pitch as the open e and B strings of a guitar tuned to Eb.
 
For the first 2/3 of the intro, there's an alternating synthy kind of tone... you could
it with the
 
right effect and some controlled volume swells. If you want to try it, here're the notes:
 
Synth:
  -===<                  |-===<                  |-===<                  |-===<
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------3-----------------------------------------------3---------------------|
E-1-----------------------------------------------1---------------------------------------------|
  1   2   3   4   5   6   1   2   3   4   5   6   1   2   3   4   5   6   1   2   3   4   5   6
 
Just one more thing to note before i continue to the next section. Look at the end of
second measure and
 
beginning of the third measure. If you had two guitars play exactly what i tabbed you'd notice that both
 
guitars pause briefly in between those beats, when in fact you hear steady, continuous
at the same
 
point in the studio recording. i can't be sure, but it may be that Guitar 2 in the intro
actually playing
 
something closer to Guitar 1's part at time index 0:48 - 0:57. i was going to add that
the end of the tab,
 
but i've run out of patience.

Again, these notes won't always be repeated exactly the way they're tabbed, but he plays
very close
 
to one of these two variations each time.

i really can't be sure if these notes are played or not, but i am pretty sure that this
doesn't continue
 
with the last three beats, unless it's mirroring Guitar 2.

This is by no means an exact strumming pattern; i'm just trying to get the notes right.

riff is completely wrong.. just bad and the tab should be in c standart probably. acoustic part is also wrong and it does not sound right.

tab not clear... you should write the number of times the riffs are played instead of the time when it changes. That's how people learn songs. MOreover I think they play it in C. You don't see them switch guitar or tune it during a live. I don't see either why they would have changed their tuning whereas they can play it in C.

Yea, In Flames mainly utilizes the drop C or more recently drop A#. Even on a video they released of Jesper and Bjorn showing you how to play some of their songs, they taught this one, and they said it is tuned C F A# D# G C. For the tab, it is good, sounds right, but the only problem is they play it in the other tuning. Sounds great though in standard
