Incubus - Aqueous Transmission

Tabbed By: Bar-Tone

Alright, the other tab up here does sound good, but its a pain in

the ass to change tunings, so ive got two alternatives.

The problem with this song is, its not played on a guitar. Its some

chinese intrument. I wasnt sure, but then i saw them live. So, no tab

can be "correct." But heres what i think sounds better, and its an easier

tune.

Now, few of us have the intrument hes playing. But i know a couple of ways

to simulate the sound. One is obviously to pluck really close to the

bridge, giving you that "twang" sound. You will also notice that the

intrument being played has much less sustain then the average guitar.

You can kill your sustain by weaving a piece of grass, or a thin piece

of paper through the strings, right next to the bridge. This can also

give you the sound of a banjo if you strum chords hard!

But, im getting carried away. hehe. So heres the tab

Normal tuning:

e--------5-2-------2-0--------------------------------------------
b------------------0-0-3-------0---0-------------------------------
g------2----------0--------------2-----------4-2-4------------------
d----0-----------2-----------2-------2----------------------------
a--0---------------------------------------2-------2-------------

e-------------------------------------------------------------

Now, if you want a deeper tone, you can still achieve it with a simple

drop D tuning. Drop D isnt a pain anyway, it takes two seconds

e-----------5-3---------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------0---0-------------------------------
g--------------------4-2---------2-----------4-2-4------------------
d---------0---------0--------2-------2----------------------------
a-------0----------0-----------------------2-------2-------------
d-----0-----------0-------------------------------------------

It all depends on how you want it to sound.

Bon Chance!

Mike plays it on an electric sitar but folks at home can just pick closer to

the bridge.

OPEN D Tuning

d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a|---------------------------------------------0-----------------0-----------|
g|-----------14--11b-----------4b--2b-------4-----4-----------4-----4--------|
D|--------0-------------------0----------2-----------2-----------------------|
A|-----0---------------------0-----------------------------2-----------2-----|
D|--0-----------------------0------------------------------------------------|

1)To get to open d simply drop the 6th string(low E) to d exactly one octave

below the D(4th) string. Check with the 7th fret it should match the A string.

2)Next drop your 1st string(high e) to d exactly one octave above ur D(4th

string) and 2 octaves above the newely tuned 1st string. Check with 3rd fret

of ur b string it should match ur 1st string

3)Now drop your 2nd string(b) to an a exactly one octave higher than ur A

(5th)string. Check with the 2nd fret of the g (3rd)string.

You can play it in dropped d it doesnt quite sound as good tho.
