Age Of Consent tab by New Order

Tabs

Band:New Order
Song:Age of Concent
Tabbed by me, Tristan Wells

One of my fav New Order songs of ALL TIME. It starts of the incredible ground
breaking album Power, Corruption, and Lies. Now the lead riff in this song is
bass but Im doing everything for guitar.

Intro:

D-----0-0--0-0-2-0-0--0-0-0-] <-intro bass for guitar
A-0-2-----------------------------]

intro guitar lead:

E MajorE --2-----2------2------2------2------2-  <- all sounds like a clean strattome
B-------------------------------------------
G-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---

E--2----2---0-----0--------------------
B----------------2-----2--0---0-0-0-0
G-0-0-3--3--3--3-3-------------------

E--2----2---0-----0-----7---7-7-7-7-
B----------------2-----2-----------------
G-0-0-3--3--3--3-3-------------------

Now this is the Bass part behind the words tabbed for guitar

D--------0-0--0-2--0-2--0-2-------------------------------------]
A-0-2-0-------------------------2-2-2-2--2-0-2--0-2-0--2-0-]

this is also a bass change you will hear snuck in the song through out

D------0--0--0--2-4-5-4-2-
A-0-2-------------------------


now this is the great synth string part that begins the instrumental portion
of the song and is also heard towards the end...I have tabbed it for guitar
chords

E-2-0-2-3-2-0-2-3-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 and then on the second time

E-2-0-2-3-2-0-2-3-0-7-7-7-5-5-5-5
B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

and finnally here is the solo all on the same string...D

D-9-9-9-7-------7-9-7-9-0

D-9-9-9-7-------7-12-7-9-0

D-4-4-2-4-4-2-4-4-7---4-4-2-4-4-2-4-4-2

D-9-9-9-7-------7-12-7-9-0

only thing else that I can think of is he also gets funkdafied jammin on the
D MajorD and G+G chord

By the way the whole song is D MajorD to G+G

This may sound crazy but if you get handy at it this song is a ton of fun to
play on an acoustic. If you learn to cover or at least incorporate all of the
different parts through out the song it will never leave the listener bored
:) just experiment...try a 12 string or tunning down to dropped D...it should
be fun
