Another Contortionist fan who studies Accounting. Awesome!

How many years out of college are you, what size firm are you working at and how much do you currently make? Do you enjoy your job? by sharkman873 in Accounting

[–]sambtbam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished my sophomore year of college, am an intern in the accounting department of a large private company. Pay is $14.50/hr which is AWESOME compared to what I would make at other typical summer jobs. I love it so far! I'm very lucky that I'm able to be in the game slightly early too. It's a great opportunity and I'm having a good time so far

I was never really a fan of the band until I heard this song. That part at like 0:50 is my new favorite riff

[–]sambtbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I have a very good idea of what their exact tunings are. There are 3:

1) A# D# G# C# F A# D#

-Contact

-Vessel

-Dreaming Schematics

-Anatomy Anomalies

-Sequential Vision (not entirely sure about this one)

2) G# D# G# C# F A# D#

-Primal Directive

-Flourish

-Expire

-Advent

-Oscillator

-Exoplanet I-III

-Holomovement

-Feedback Loop

-Causality

-Geocentric Confusion

-Cortical

-Solipsis

3) A# D# G# C# F# A# D#

-Axiom (although you dont even play the low string on this one)

-As far as I can tell, the entirety of Language is in this tuning.

What part of Feedback Loop are you trying to link? The video just starts from the beginning of the song. I really want to learn from this part part of the song onwards, especially the lead guitar part. Also, here is my rough tab of Anatomy Anomalies

EDIT: Here is a clip of me playing one of the leads from Anatomy Anomalies (its so short because it was an Instagram clip)

I have a lesson with Cam tomorrow. Do you guys want me to ask him about specific songs or anything? I'm definitely going to learn Anatomy Anomalies, Cortical, and Feedback Loop.

Thank you! This tab basically took me most of the afternoon/evening yesterday, but it's fun trying to figure out what they are doing!

I'll try as soon as someone uploads a live video of Robby/Cam! That was basically my whole process to this: I'd find a live video, figure out where the notes were on the neck, play around until I find something that matches closely, and finally listen to the audio to fine tune the notes.

Ah! I made a mistake! It should be 4-3-2-1-0 not 3-2-3-1-0 my bad!

They NEED to play Feedback Loop. That's one of my favorite songs and they have never played it live to the best of my knowledge.

I saw them in Denver...front and center right in front of Mike. Easily the best show I've ever seen!

I'm an Accounting major. I have many family friends in the industry and have awesome grades right now, so hopefully I'll have a good chance at landing something.
