Hello everyone I've been playing for 1.5 months and I really dont understand this tablature.
First, here is the song I want to learn: http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1831TP93CEHDP3BQM20W8DB1J9
and here is the tablature:
Here is how Tweedy played it solo acoustic.
This is what's played when "[D G]" is written:
e|-0-2-0-2-0-2-3-2-0--|
B|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
G|-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0--|
D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A|---------0-0-0-0-0--|
E|---------3-3-3-3-3--|
Intro: [D G D G]
[D]Why, I wonder, is my [G]heart full of holes? [D G]
[D]And the feeling goes but my [G]hair keeps growing [D G]
[D]Will I set the [G]sun
[F#m]On a big-wheeled [A]wagon?
[G]Oh I'm bragging
I'm always in love [D G D G]
[D]When I let go of your [G]throat-sweet throttle [D G]
[D]When I clean the lash of your [G]black-belt model [D G]
[D]Will I catch the [G]moon
[F#m]Like a bird in a [A]cage?
[G]It's for you I swoon
I'm always in love [D G D G]
[A]I don't get the connection
[G]If this is only a test
[E]I hope I do my best
[G]You know I won't forget
[A G F# E D G]
[D]When I fold the cold in my [G]jet-lag palm [D G]
[D]When I soak so long I [G]forget my mother [D G]
[D]Will I set the [G]sun
[F#m]On a big-wheeled [A]wagon?
[G]Oh I'm bragging
I'm always in love [D G]
[D]It's a drag I sang
[G]Oh I'm always in love [D G]
[D]I'm worried
[E?]I'm always in love [D G D G]
[D]Oh I'm worried
[G]I'm worried
[D]I'm worried
[G]I'm always in love [D G]
End on D
I have no idea how that sounds like the song. I'm not even sure if I am playing it right. Can someone give me a good fingering from the transition of xx0232 to 300030 to 300032? And what is the F# chord (I prob wont even get to that part but i would like to know). What kind of strumming pattern is this.
This is a really cool live song, hope you guys at least enjoy the song.
Thanks
I'd suggest for the fingering....
The x00323 chord...D...use a mini-barre acroos the top 3 strings, use your 3rd sring for the B string at the 3rd fret....
For the 300030 chord, I'd use my thumb for the bottom E string, any fingering you like for the B string....
Then the really awkward one, the 300032, I'd leave the thumb in the same place, first finger for the E string, 2nd finger for the B....
But then again, I'm used to using my thumb for chords like D....2(thumb) 00232 Bm...22( Thumb across bothE and A strings at the second fret!) 224322 and F#m - thumb on the second fret of the bottom E, pinkie and 3rd fingers on the D and A strings respectively, mini-barre across the GB &E strings....
It's well worth using your thumb for bass notes, in my humble opinion, still gives you 3-4 fingers to play around with....
:D :D :D
