Chords

Band: Smashing Pumpkins Album: Monuments to an Elegy Song: Tiberius ======================================================================================================= Notes: * Drop D tuning * The last D chord in the intro is hammered onto the opening F chord * Breakdown: you can simply play this part using the 0, 10, 12, and 13 frets only, but in slowing down the part I can clearly hear the higher note on the A string. * Outro: the additional guitar is more prevalent in the mix, but the Lead part with the fewer notes is the one that carriers over from the previous section. * Refrain 3: one note difference with the typical rhythm - the Bb chord (8th fret) instead of the G chord (5th fret) =======================================================================================================
