Emperor - Part 1 Into The Infinity Of Thoughts - Guitar Tab

About Part 1 Into The Infinity Of Thoughts

At 180 BPM in E minor, "Part 1 Into The Infinity Of Thoughts" is a serious endurance test for any guitarist willing to take it on. Emperor built this track around relentless tremolo picking, which is the core technique you need to nail before anything else here. The right hand demands a light, controlled pick grip and a motion anchored from the wrist, not the elbow, or you will fatigue within seconds at this tempo. The melodic lines woven through the tremolo work are not simple either, requiring clean fretting under conditions that will expose any tension in your left hand. Work through the most demanding passages with the Practice Toolbar, looping them slowed down until the motion feels automatic before pushing the speed back up. E Standard tuning keeps everything familiar, but the Black Metal feel demands a cold, precise tone and a picking attack that is even across every note, never letting the phrase breathe unevenly.

• Tremolo picking at 180 BPM is the central challenge, requiring a relaxed wrist-driven motion to sustain the technique across the full track.
• The song is in E minor and E Standard tuning, so no retuning is needed, but the melodic riffs must be fretted cleanly under high-speed conditions.
• Practise the tremolo passages in short looped sections slowed down, focusing on pick consistency and left-hand synchronisation before building back to full tempo.
