Matte Kudasai tab by King Crimson

Tabs

Matte Kudasai, by King Crimson, from _Discipline_. Also on various
compilation CDs and _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_.

The song is in implied E MajorE major. This is the arpeggiated rhythm part Fripp
plays behind Belew's improvised slide guitar solos and the lyrics. Listen
to the song to get how things fit together. I play it kind of like Adrian
on _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_. The song is in three time, and really
swings. If you're playing it on an acoustic, it should sound decent. If
you're playing it on an electric, use a _very_ light distortion (mostly for
warmth), light chorus/flange, a long delay, and compression. It will probably
sound OK on a plain clean guitar with some reverb, but I thought I'd give you
the full list! I recently saw Crimson live and verified my guesses, so I think
this is pretty close.


Intro:

triple stops. e.g.,

(Note: this fingering is really tough. I recommend doing stretching
exercises before attempting it. I recommend using a thumb fret for the
bass string, but if you can finger it some other way, go for it!)

NOTE: I forgot to indicate that you need to play each measure twice on
Chrous Riffs 1a and 1b. Please edit the file accordingly, replacing the
line titled "segue -> Chorus Riff 1a  Chorus Riff 1b" in the original with
the lines below.
