I can't be the only one who wants this =\

I second this request. A Canada tab would be really cool

Made this 4 or 5 years ago, so I hope it's still accurate. It seems to be quite okay. I played this version live, and it worked.
Ofcourse, comments are always welcome.

Could this tab be uploaded again, since it's not available anymore?

Code: Select all

Song: Canada
Artist: Devin Townsend
Album: Terria

Tabbed By: Jordy Licht (jordylicht@wanadoo.nl), with special thanks to Devin Townsend for 
correcting the chorus and verse-riffs.

I started tabbing this song because I love it, and because Devin Townsend tabs
are extremely rare to find. As you can see it's in the regular open C tuning 
Devin most of the time uses. To get this tuning you will have to follow the following steps:
Tune the 2nd string (B) a half step up to C, tune the 4th string (D) a whole step down to C,
tune the 5th string (A) a whole step down to G, and tune the 6th string (E) two whole steps 
down to C.
Ofcourse this is not an official tab, so I'm pretty sure there are mistakes in it, but I think
this version sounds pretty good. I hope you do too.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to e-mail me.

At 5:30 a second guitar enters, which starts to play a solo. I'm sorry guys, but I can't hear the solo very well because of all the synths, so you're on your own.
I think Devin probably plays the solo in A-minor (C-major), so if all else fails, create your own solo :)

Good luck, new Devy tab coming soon...
