Synthespian by Prototype
SYNTHESPIAN - Prototype
From the 1998 EP "Cloned", and the 2006 LP "Continuum"
Tabbed by Unholy Crusada
This is an amazing song by an amazing band. If you have time, I would
suggest you check them out and give them the attention and support they so greatly
I have tabbed this completely by ear, so do not expect this to be 100% accurate. The
may be a little off in some areas, but everything else sounds spot on. It should be fairly
what is palm muted. This is my first tab, so I hope you enjoy.

There is also a 3rd guitar part in the backround playing a simple lead of some sort at
point, but I have not tabbed it since it really seems to be there just to give a more
sound.

This next solo is very fast and technical, making it very difficult for me to determine
Kragen is playing. This is my best guess, but don't expect this to be nearly as accurate
the rest of the tab.
