hummer -- by smashing pumpkins ------ Transcribed by Chris Carman ([email protected]) This song is a little tougher than the earlier three because it's a lot longer and a bit more complicated. First, tune your lowE MajorE string (6th string) down a whole step to a D. The intro is a sitar-like line with some weird noise gate/static effect: Repeat 10x --2h3p2-------------2h3p2-----2-3-- --------4-3-1-3-3-3-------x-x------ ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Then play this fuzzed main riff: ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------12-- --11-11b12b11---11-11b12b11---12--11b12b11---11-11b12b11----12-- --------------0-------------0--------------0-------------0---9-- ---9--9b10b9--0--9--9b10b9--0-10---9b10b9--0--9--9b10b9--0--10-- --------------0-------------0--------------0-------------0------ sust. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------12-- --11-11b12b11---11-11b12b11---12--12b14b12--11b12b11---11-11b12b11----12-- --------------0-------------0------------------------0-------------0---9-- ---9--9b10b9--0--9--9b10b9--0-10--10b12b10---9b10b9--0--9--9b10b9--0--10-- --------------0-------------0------------------------0-------------0------ Now play this distorted line: slow ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --7--7-----7--7-----7------------------7-9--9/11-11-------11-11-------- --7--7-5h7-7--7-5h7-7--9-9-9-9----------------------14p12-------14p12-- --5--5-5h7-5--5-5h7-5----------9-b10b9--------------------------------- -------5h7------5h7---------------------------------------------------- trem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------/15--------------------- ----------11--9--b6b7b2-----11b12b11----11h12-14------14-11-b12b11-14----- -------------------------------------12-12----14-------------------14-12-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --/9-9-9-9-9--7--b4b5b0--------------------------------------------------- sust. ---------------- ---------------- --11b12b11------ --14-------14--- -----------15--- ---------------- Now play these clean chords under the first verse: Repeat 4x ---------| |--0----0--0---0---| |--3----3--3---1---| |--2----0--0---0---| |--0----2--2---2---| |------------------| |------------------| Then play these distorted chords:

that Octaver on there, but I thought it would just be easier if I transcribed it in the lower octave... go buy that effect, or an Octave Fuzz....

No it ain't that fine chick you did last night, but it's track no.4 from Siamese Dream. The best song on the album (along with 9 and 13). Don't get me wrong, the whole album is really great...but here's the ending mellow part to track no. 4. Dig in...and reply...please... And since the bottom lowest strings (the thickest ones) aren't used, these grids are always shown in terms of the highest one being the thinnest string. Here goes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------5--------- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6\0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------7----------------- ----------------------------------------------------5-4-5---5------------ This repeats a bunch of times, then.... -------------------------------------5-------5----`------5----5-------- ---------------------------------------------5----`-----------5-------- --------------------------------------------------`-------------------- -2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0/2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5---5-5-------`--5-5------(5)--------- --------------------------------------------------`-------------------- --------------------------------------------------`-------------------- This, too repeats a few times. The first time, play those 5's before the apostrophes, and the second time, play the 5's after the apostrophes. The lowest 5 on the part after the apostrophes is optional. Then it gets kinda' questionable as to how it goes, but this is how I hear it... -------------------0------------2-5---2-3-------------------------------- -3-5-3-5---3-5-3-2---2---2-3-5------5-----2------------------------------ -----------------------2------------------------------------------------- It's necessary to slur a lot of these notes. Slur or do that H or P thing they use in those Tab books. Just add those in where necessary. -5-3-5-3---7-5-7-5--10\9-7-5-3--10-9-7-5-3---12-10-9--------- ------------------------------------------------------12----- Below, is arguably the hardest part. But it's not hard once you get the hang of it... -12-9-----10-9-----12-9----10-9-----17-17------------------ ------10-------10-------10------10------------------------- Hold index on 9 on high E, and middle finger on 10 on second string. Only the other two fingers move. And for that part, the you should pluck only once for ever 12-9 and 10-9. And here's the end. I omitted a small section, but it's repeated here, so just splice it in. -17-17-15-14-12-10-9-7-5-3-2-3-2--------------5------3-2-------------- -----------------------------------5-5/7-5-5/7---5-7------5-3-2------- ----------------------------------------------------------------4-2-0- and... --------------------------(2)--------- ---------------------------3---------- ---------------------------2---------- -4-2-0-------------------------------- --------4-2-0------------------------- ---------------3-2-0-2---------------- The 2 is in parentheses because it's optional. So there it is. I know, it must have been confusing like heck...but, I did my best. Please give me feedback...Thanks. --- how bout this in stead for "Hummer" Track No. 4 on the dream?
