A Perfect Circle
The Package
Track 1
Thirteenth Step
Tabbed by Nick Deni
Tuning C# F# B E G# C#
This in my opinion is the best song off Thirteenth Step, hence my meticulous tab, I wanted it to be
perfect. Most of this is just a basis ie.) strum patterns aren’t exact. Just listen to the song and you’ll
know what to do. Any comments/questions/corrections, email me at nad83@adelphia.net. I wrote this
in Microsoft Word, Courier, font size 8.
Legend:
/ Slide up
Slide down
x Muted string
#x Muted note
#p# Pull-off
* Natural Harmonic
@# Pinch Harmonic
I used reverb throughout the entire song to give it that “mystic” sound APC has in every song, as well as
15 gauge strings to give it a full sound.
I know this version is perfect. There is another tab on the site that is right with the notes throughout
the Intro, but when you distort it, you don’t get the interference of notes since no two are ringing at
the same time. There are other note variations as well, I guess it doesn’t really matter about those,
you pick what sounds best.
