We have an official Black tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

Band:  Trivium
Song:  Black
Album: In Waves
 
Tuning: Drop C# (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#)
(Tune all strings down half a step then drop tune)
 
I don’t think the chorus is right in the small interlude part, that’s all
I think is not correct in this tab at the minute. If anyone wishes to help
Me out with that part and tell me it would be much appreciated.
Also, please rate :D

most of it is right, but i hear this in the intro. listen closely ;) [tab] |---------------------------------|-----------------------------| |---------------------------------|-----------------------------| |---------------------------------|-----------------------------| |---------------------------------|-----------------------------| |-4-4-4-4-----5-5-5-5-------------|-4-4-4-4-----5-5-----7-7-----| |-0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-----3BU(4)--|-0-0-0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----|[/tab]

For the verse, I feel like I'm hearing Guitar 1 [tab]|----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-----5p0---------5p0---------5p0--| |-3h0---------3h0---------3h0------|[/tab] Both strings are sounding to me like a pull-off to the open string, as opposed to the low C# being a hammer-on to the 3rd fret, as you have it.

hahaha thanks for correcting the intro! I couldve sworn i heard that too :D
