Inscryption - The Trapper And The Trader Tab

The Drop C tuning is required for the low humming. You could play an octave higher, or namely: frets 0, 3 on
the D string and 3 on the A string. However, not only does that not stay true to the original track, but it
also messes up your bridge-riff overlap.
 
[A note on the timestamps:]
 
The riff parts end at exactly the ending mark of the timestamp. Hold the last vibrato fret 5 until the end.
It's a good idea to get a timer next to you, listen to the song while playing, or just improvise altogether.

I highly recommend listening to it for more fine-tuned timing. I, however, also suggest improvising part of
the timing. Inscryption's soundtrack heavily relies on such slight deviations to bring life into the music.
 
[A note on the percussion:]
 
The original percussion cannot be performed while playing the track. It has to be done on a second guitar.
You could, however, tap with your fingernails on the guitar body during pauses and vibratos.
 
[How to do the percussion:]
 
The percussion is done by muting all six strings, then strumming down once, followed by a quiet up-down-up.
I recommend using your fingernails for the strumming (use all fingers except for your thumb).
NOTE: The up-down-up is quiet only during the Riff. The Bridges' percussion is always harsher.
      The quiet sections of the percussion sometimes sound as a down-up. The remaining down-up is still
      present, but you could omit it for variety.
 
[Bridge variations:]
 
Bridge A: Downwards progression of the melody.
Bridge B: Downwards then upwards progression of the melody.
Bridge C: Like Bridge B but it ends earlier.
Bridge D: Like Bridge B but the higher notes aren't played at all.
Ending Bridge: Only lower notes, follows downwards then upwards progression.
 
[Riff variations:]
 
There are two different variations of the Riff:
Riff: The normal humming of The Trapper.
Low Riff: Fourth note of humming is a full step lower.

[Main Part]
 
[0:28-0:32] (Bridge A)
e|4----3-------------------------------|
B|----------6----*4-----*4/6-----------|
G|1----0-------------------------------| * The higher notes kick in a fraction of a second after the lower.
D|----------3----*1-----*1/3-----------| NOTE: The last slide overlaps with the 5 bend in the next section.
A|-------------------------------------|       You can try to land both by using fingers 2 and 5 for the slide
C|-------------------------------------|       and immediately slam finger 3 on string C fret 5.
 
[0:32-0:41] (Low Riff)
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------| * This is actually a tad lower in the actual track but tuning to
D|-------------------------------------|   Drop B or Drop B flat would lead your fingers farther from
A|-------------------------------------|   the higher strings.
C|5-------8~-----5~----*L0-----5~------|
 
[0:41-0:43]
Slight percussion break

[0:59-1:03] (Bridge B)
e|4----3----*4-----*6-------*8---------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|1----0-------------------------------| * The higher notes are out of sync with the lower notes again.
D|----------*3-------------------------|   The last high E string note is between the slide, but that
A|-----------------*6------*6/8--------|   is somewhat difficult to pull off. Feel free to play it as
C|-------------------------------------|   you slide to fret 8 on the A string.
