Mourning: Authentic Guitar TAB

This TAB collection gives guitarists direct access to the exact voicings and techniques that made Tantric's debut such a defining record for post-grunge players. The 72-page collection spans the full album, so students can work through complete arrangements and develop the palm-muted riffing, power chord work, and dynamic control that this style demands.

Heavy and hypnotic. Tantric's guitar work combines the crushing palm-muted attacks of post-grunge with sustained melodic passages that pull you in. The album moves between aggressive, distortion-driven sections and moments of unexpected clarity, keeping the listener engaged across twelve very different songs.

Intermediate to advanced rock guitarists who want to study authentic post-grunge arrangements and expand their vocabulary of riff construction and rhythm guitar texture. This is ideal for self-directed learners, band members covering Tantric material, or students exploring the technical and stylistic foundations of 1990s rock.

• Lock in the palm-muted rhythms first; these define the groove in most tracks. Once the muting pattern feels automatic, layer in the pitch and dynamics.
• Pay attention to the TAB's indicated string and fret choices. Tantric's arrangements often voice chords in specific positions for tone and playability, not just any available option.
• Use the album recording as a reference for dynamics and sustain lengths. The difference between a choked chord and a ringing one shapes the feel significantly.

Assign individual tracks as supplementary repertoire for students interested in rock styles and contemporary music. Alternatively, guitarists preparing a cover band set or audition material will find complete, accurate transcriptions across the full range of the album's moods and technical demands.
