A Nightmare To Remember by Dream Theater A Nightmare To Remember Tuning (this tab): C Tuning [ C F A# D# G C ] Tuning: Standard C; from low to high C F A# D# G C NOTE: The time signature varies quite a bit throughout the song so I will specify the time signature as (4/4) before any measure that has a new time signature. Also, my tempo markings are all approximations. ____ ~ = vibrato | | = legato (hold the note for it's value plus h = hammer-on the value of the connected note) p = pull-off S = Sixteenth Note || || s = slide to next note E = Eighth Note o|| ||o Repeat / = slide up (down is \) Q = Quarter Note o|| ||o Signs b = bend H = Half Note || || * = palm-mute W = Whole Note x = right hand mute . = dotted (add half of the note value) PH = pinch harmonic _ _ NH = natural harmonic | 3 | or 3 = triplet INTRO (after storm sounds and piano) Guitar 1 & 2 (electric w/ distortion) (4/4) 120bpm H.

After 1:42 of the opening horror show, John Petrucci shifts gears with a heavy riff for James LaBries vocal entrance. Mike Portnoys double bass drum playing during the first movement is as fast and devastating as ever. The highlight of A Nightmare To Remember is the clean interlude at 4:56 which might as well be a different track altogether. At this point, you will be walking on the clouds in arpeggio heaven. The lyrical melody combined with the progressive groove in this section is purely exhilarating. Petruccis solo (8:33) is infused with the blues before heading off to Shredsville USA with the keyboards. Towards the end of the instrumental break the dark side of the tune, the side heard in the intro, is brought back to life with an intense and demonized vocal performance that has been consistent with recent Dream Theater releases. This dark tone carries the song to its ending, cuing the creepy keyboards as the album transitions into the glorious intro of the second track and first single, A Rite of Passage. --------------
