Song: Incessant Mace Band: Soundgarden Album: Ultramega OK Music: Thayil Words: Cornell I've been wanting to post this song for a while as it is my all time favorite Soundgarden song, but I've kept on making corrections to this file. But here's what I've ended up with: Riff 1: |---------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------0-------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------4h5tr~~~~-| |-0------12------10------7------5------4------3-----------------|
Trill the last notes.

It takes place mostly on the 12 frets and 9 frets around the E minor pentatonic scale with maybe a G# or something added here or there. I don't know most of it but here's a part at the end of one solo: |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-7/9-9-9\7/9-9-9\7-etc...-| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| Riff 1 is the intro and verse part and is played at the begining of the first two verses. Riff 2 is played during the verses after Riff 1 is played and sometimes after Riff 3 is played. Riff 3 is played at the beginning of the third verse. Riff 4 is played after every solo and played 2 times after the second solo. Fill 1 is played after Riff 4 the first two times. The solos are played after each verse for 8 bars each and Chris sings over the last one. The bass plays Riff 1 for the verses and 'solos' during the solos. End on this: |--------------|| |--------------|| |--------------|| |--------------|| |--------------|| |-0------------|| Then quickly pick up a harmonica and play a bar or two and the song is over. :)
