Specifically that these words might indicate changes in overall tone during a single guitar part. I suppose my answer my still be helpful in that if a part starts off with the "Plexi" label and then later has the "Uber" label at some point, the intention is almost certainly to go from a clean or crunchy rhythm sound to a thick, overdriven lead sound. But I'm curious to know if that interpretation makes sense, looking at the score. I'm surprised there are no notes regarding that in the score packet. | |
