Chords
kind of extreme tuning that will require heavier string gauges to get the original tone.
How to tune: Eu3 Ad2 Ds Gd5 Bd8 Ed13
(u — up, d — down, s — stays. all according to the standard tuning EADGBE)
also u can tune ur high E half step down to D# and it wouldnt sound THAT bad. (still it can get hard to play
with the record)
[Intro]
just feedback and pick scraping at low strings.
then play open G strings for a while and then
play this:
D#|--*7*-*7*-*7*--------------------------------| D#|--*7*-*7*-*7*--------------------------------| D |--------------*7*--*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-----------| D |--------------*7*--*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-----------| G |---------------------------------------------| G |-----------------------------------*9*-*9*-0-|
[Verse]
(just chords shown, no strumming)
D#|------------| D#|------------| D |-8---9-10-9-| D |-8---9-10-9-| G |-0---0-0--0-| G |-0---0-0--0-|
[Chorus]
D#|---x-x-5---6--7-6-| D#|---x-x-5---6--7-6-| D |---x-x-5---0--0-0-| D |---x-x-5---0--0-0-| G |-0----------------| G |-0----------------|
[Post-Chorus]
D#|----------------| D#|----------------| D |-9--10-9---8----| D |-9--10-9---8----| G |-0--0--0---8--0-| G |-0--0--0---8--0-|
then play harmonics at 12th fret
[Verse]
D#|------------| D#|------------| D |-8---9-10-9-| D |-8---9-10-9-| G |-0---0-0--0-| G |-0---0-0--0-|
[Chorus]
D#|---x-x-5---6--7-6-| D#|---x-x-5---6--7-6-| D |---x-x-5---0--0-0-| D |---x-x-5---0--0-0-| G |-0----------------| G |-0----------------|
[Post-Chorus]
D#|----------------| D#|----------------| D |-9--10-9---8----| D |-9--10-9---8----| G |-0--0--0---8--0-| G |-0--0--0---8--0-|
and again harmonics at 12th fret.
Then it goes like that:
BREAK
D#|-------------| D#|-------------| D |-21-22---/13-| D |-21-22---/13-| G |-------------| G |-------------|
or
D#|----21-------| D#|----21-------| D |-21-21---/13-| D |-21-21---/13-| G |-------------| G |-------------|
After that slide up to 13th fret a couple times
[Outro]
start this part by making a lot of feedback/noise and then repeat sliding up to 13th part again.
Then play harmonics nust like in the intro D#|--*7*-*7*-*7*--------------------------------| D#|--*7*-*7*-*7*--------------------------------| D |--------------*7*--*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-----------| D |--------------*7*--*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-----------| G |---------------------------------------------| G |-----------------------------------*9*-*9*-0-|
and once again fade into feedback/noise section
