From This Is the Six (2012). This Is the Six is the debut studio album by English metalcore band While She Sleeps. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for While She Sleeps' other songs from This Is the Six, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
