Hi.
Im a silly bassist trying to make a tab for a kinda obscure song that my buddy and I want to play. I have already transcrived the whole song but the solo, I have no idea what they play there since its uses a wah pedal or something and I dont even own an electric guitar.
Its also way too fast for my bass brain.

So im requesting your help, any help is welcomed. The song in question is Futility by Dark Reality and the solo I cant understand is the second solo that starts around 4:57. I think the song is in Em.

The tab will be uploaded to Ultimate Guitar once its done for everyone to enjoy, so you will not only be helping me but everyone who likes this band (all five of us!)

I was thinking that in exchange I can try help transcribe some other song but whoever can figure this solo doesnt need my help. So im willing to help anyone who might need it as long as it doesnt have a crazy fast solo with lots of wah

Thanks

    This app/services is useful for working out parts of songs. You upload an audio file, leave it to process for a minute and you get a dashboard with separate tracks for each instrument. From there you can playback with, say, all instruments’ volume down, except guitar to home in on the solo. It’s much easier to hear what’s going on. You can slow down and export sections to new audio files. When I’ve done this, I’ve replayed short chunks in QuickTime on repeating loops. https://moises.ai

    Sounds like it’s in E minor. If you just play the E minor pentatonic scale (I would use the E at the A string, 7th fret as the root) that’ll get you in the ballpark. Tabbing it all out would be a chore. I never copy solos note for note and I’ll bet you the guitarist on this song plays it differently every time.
