Blue, from "Lull" (Rhinoceros EP) - Smashing Pumpkins ==== -Although the bass is drop D tuning, the guitars are regular tuned (I think). Here's how I play it... |-----3-------1-------3------- -----2-------0----------------------------- |-----3-------1-------5------- -----3-------1----------------------------- |-----4-------2-------5------- -----4-------0----------------------------- |-----5-------3-------5------- -----4-------2----------------------------- |-----5-------3-------3------- -----2-------3----------------------------- |-----3-------1--------------- ------------------------------------------- <------Verse---------> <---"Chorus" ------>
- The above is for rhythm guitar (James). Billy plays the following (I think): |----------------------------- ------------------------------------------- |----------------------------- ------------------------------------------- |----------------------------- ------------------------------------------- |-----5b6b5---\3/10----------- ----------------------------(16)b14-------- |----------------------------- ----5----7----9/10---12-------------------- |-----3b4b3---\1/8------------ ------------------------------------------- <-----Verse----------> <--------"Chorus"----------------> - At the end of the 2nd chorus the chord is some wierd Am which looks like this: |---0---- |---1---- (Am/D?) |---0---- |---2---- |---0---- |-------- - Here's the slow part... |---3-------------0------------- --------------------------------------- |---0-(or 3)------1------------- ------------------------13--12--(pinky) |---4-------------2------------- --------------------------------------- |---5-------------3------------- ---12----12-----10--10--10--10--------- |---5-------------3------------- ------14--------12--12--12--12--------- |---3-------------1-----(thumb)- --------------------------------------- <-----James-------> <---------Billy------------> - I could be wrong on a lot of things here, but this is how I play it and it comes out sounding pretty good. Any comments appreciated. - 3ev1@qucdn.queensU.ca (Van Vekris)
