All Your Lies: Authentic Guitar TAB

Matt Wantland's direct involvement in these transcriptions guarantees accuracy that most TAB books can't match. Students get to learn the actual parts as played, not approximations, which builds trust in their transcription study and respects the artistry of the original performances.

Heavy, atmospheric, and rhythmically intricate. These songs balance crushing riffs with introspective moments, demanding both aggressive picking technique and restraint. The collection showcases a band that thinks carefully about dynamics and texture within the metal framework.

Guitar students drawn to modern metal and alternative rock who want to study authentic arrangements from a respected band. Players developing their ear for transcription benefit from having verified, artist-approved TAB as a learning resource.

• Study the album recordings alongside the TAB to internalize the tone, dynamics, and attack each riff demands. Hearing Wantland's original execution will guide your interpretation far better than notation alone.
• Work through the tuning and string assignments carefully before diving into speed. 10 Years' arrangements often use open tunings and drop tunings that change how familiar shapes sit on the fretboard.
• Break longer passages into phrase-length sections and practice each at tempo before linking them together. Metal riffs reward precision, and building incrementally prevents bad habits from forming.
• Pay attention to the rhythmic subdivision under fast picking patterns. What sounds smooth at speed often requires deliberate control of note groupings and pick direction at slower tempos.

Assign individual tracks as performance or study pieces for intermediate to advanced students with heavy music interests. Use the collection to teach transcription verification and ensemble arrangement study when working with a full band.
