Loser - Beck

From rte@Virginia.EDU (Richard T. Eppink) I don't know how to play slide... but this is what my ears tell me: It's in Open D. The intro/verse part is played with a slide and goes as follows: D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- F#---------------0-----------------------0----------- D-------/3-0--/5-0---5\---------/3-0--/5-0---5\------ A----0-//3-0-//5-0---5\\-----0-//3-0-//5-0---5\\----- D----0---------------5\\\----0---------------5\\\---- The lead in the background sounds like it is being played with a slide, and possibly a half tone (between the fretwires rather than over the fretwires) lower than indicated below, to give it that slightly "off" sound. D-----0--0--2-2^0--4-4^0--2--0----0--0--2-2^0--4-4^0--5--0------ A--------------------------------------------------------------- F#--------------------------------------------------------------

And that is also repeated over and over at different parts. At 1m50s you'll hear another little lead bit: D--------------------0---------------------------- A---0-3--------0-3-----3--------0-3--------0-3---- F#------------------------------------------------ Also you'll notice a couple times you'll hear a chord being strummed, I believe it to be this: D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- F#---0----------------------------------------------- D----0----------------------------------------------- A----0----------------------------------------------- D----0----------------------------------------------- I think if I knew how to play slide I'd be able to pick out exactly how that first riff is being fretted... but that's my best shot at it. Cheers.
