Time Lapse Consortium - Tres Puntos

drum intro

0:00 > 0:31

0:31 > 0:33

e:-----------------------------

b:-----------------------------

g:-----------------------------

d:-----------------------------

a:-----------------------------

e:-12--- slide down fretboard with finger whilst still hiting the string and palm-muting

riff 1

0:33 > 0:44

e:-0---1---3---1---------------
b:-0---1---3---1----------------
g:-1---2---4---2----------------
d:-2---3---5---3----------------
a:-2---3---5---3----------------
e:-0---1---3---1----------------

these chords are played, and im sure you can figure out the rhythm and timing yourself

riff 2

0:44 > 1:07

e:-12-10-12-10-8-7-8-5-4-5-4-2-0-0---1---3---1
b:-------------------------------0---1---3---1
g:-------------------------------1---2---4---2
d:-------------------------------2---3---5---3
a:-------------------------------2---3---5---3
e:-------------------------------0---1---3---1

the notes played on the e string are played many times rapidly so you

will have to do some working out, same with the chords

riff 3

1:07 > 1:14

e:-5---3---1---0-------------------
b:-5---3---1---0-------------------
g:-4---4---2---1-------------------
d:-7---5---3---2-------------------
a:-7---5---3---2-------------------
e:-5---3---1---0-------------------

haha, again, you will need to work out timing and rythem yourself, but its not hard!

back to riff 1

1:14 > 1:22

then riff 2

1:22 > 1:44

then riff 3

1:45 > 1:52

then riff 1 again, but palm-muted

1:53 > 1:58

'surfing USA' riff
