{t:As I Am}
 {st:Dream Theater}
 
 ====================================================================================
 Band: Dream Theater
 Song: As I Am
 Album: Train of Thought (2003)
 Music by: Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy and Rudess
 Transcribed by: Kapellmester Smaaland (esmaaland@hotmail.com)
 Tabbed: 19th and 20th December 2004
 ====================================================================================
 
 This is the first song on DT\'s new album \"Train of Thought\". I\'ve not completed the solo tab, but it\'ll be added later.
 The intro has about 98 bpm, and the rest of the song about 130 bpm.
 
 Tune down 2 steps or just don\'t play along with the song :).
 
 TABULATURE EXPLANATIONS:
 
 < = feedback
 ~ = vibrato
 v = beat
 . = palm mute
 hb = half step bend
 fb = full step bend
 r = release
 / = slide up
 (x) = lesser artificial harmonic (by listening to the riffs containing
 X = mute the (x), you\'ll get what i mean)
