Ultrasuede

Written by Matthew Sweet(EMI Blackwood Music, Inc./Charm Trap Music )

Found on Son of Altered Beast EP (1994)

Transcription arranged by Jason Robinson (SporkGD@aol.com or shaft@trib.infi.net

for any questions or comments)

Ultrasuede was a studio outtake from the Altered Beast LP, but it's not that

hard to figure out. It calls for a main rhythm guitar and the through-the-song-soloing

guitar (I doubt I can get it down, maybe later). Other than that, standard tuning

and listen to the song to get the rhythm strumming and muting down.

Intro.(Spacy sounds for 4 seconds.)

Riff 1 (four times before verse)

G A G A C
