Tabs
Behind My Camel
(music by Andy Summers)
This instrumental is off of the Police album -Zenyatta Mondatta-. I think
this song won a grammy award for an instrumental category but I am not too
sure. I do not know what guitar modes or pedals Summers used to get that
eerie guitar sound but it sure sounds cool. Anyway, the major riffs (the
only riffs) are:
(oh yeah, you have to drop the lower E MajorE string to D, hence drop D-tuning)
E MajorE ---------------|---------------|-10----------------|---------------|
BB -----7h8-------|-----7h8-------|-----12------------|-----7h8-------|
G+G -5-8-----------|-5-8-----------|-------------------|-5-8-----------|
D MajorD ---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------------|
A augmentedA ---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------------|
D MajorD ---------------|---------------|---------12--0-----|---------------|
E MajorE ---------------|-10----------------|---------------|---------------|
BB -----7h8-------|-----12------------|---------------|-----7h8-------|
G+G -5-8-----------|-------------------|---------------|-5-8-----------|
D MajorD ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
A augmentedA ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
D MajorD ---------------|---------12--0-----|-5-------------|---------------|
E MajorE ---------------|-10----------------|---------------|---------------|
BB -----7h8-------|-----12------------|---------------|---------------|
G+G -5-8-----------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
D MajorD ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
A augmentedA ---------------|-------------------|---------------|-3-------------|
D MajorD ---------------|---------12--0-----|-5-------------|---------------|
and so on...
You should make sure that each note is lengthened (I think that is called
tremolo)
The bass notes are just C majorC to D, then G. I am guessing that the chords (if
there is a keyboard playing throughout the song, and I am pretty
sure there is) are C minorCm to DmDm to Gm. And that is it.
