This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song: MONHEIM

Artist: GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!

Album: LIFT YR. SKINNY FISTS LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN! [CD2: Track One: 01:10 - 13:24]

Tab for guitar transcribed by Ben Wilkinson (benwilko_faster@yahoo.com)

This is the basic outline for the clean guitar part. There are other

guitars being played with screwdrivers, and one of the basses plays

high melodies. Not every chord I've tabbed is strummed. There are times

when one isn't strummed, and times when chords are strummed more times

than I have tabbed. Notes of the chords are plucked between changes,

you can work out which ones :op Also, there is no strict tempo to begin with so

basically it is being played freely and slowly. The first 1 minute and

10 seconds is just a spoken word sample. I haven't tabbed the whole twelve

minute movement, just the fantastic and intricate chords that are played

throughout the first five or six minutes.

KEY: p = pull off

X = mute (with left hand/finger)

eg -11- = fret eleven (not fret one then one again - no patronisation intended!) :oD

Repeat PATTERN ONE again three more times [01:47 - 03:27] and then play..

PATTERN TWO:

[03:27] Play very gently. I have only tabbed when the notes change.

The open bottom Bb is quietly played more often..

** VIOLIN INSTRUMENTAL ** [05:43 - 06:46]

PATTERN FOUR:

[6.46] All notes played on the Eb string are pretty much repeated

semi-quavers but there isn't much space to tab it all out..

Repeat PATTERN FOUR again [07:17 - 07:48]

That's your lot! The overdrive kicks in now and the

seperate guitar parts are harder to pick out. You get

the idea though, eh?

Comments

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?

No comments yet. If you play this one, say what works.
