Dropped D tuning #========================================================================#
This one is surprisingly simple!
LEGEND
h=hammer on p=pull-off b=bend hb=half-bend tr=trill (play note repeatedly and very quickly) X=plam mute ~ = hold chord for a while
E--------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------- A------5--5-4-3--------5---------------------------- D---0---------------0-----7-6-5---------------------
Riff 1A Riff 1B
Play these several times before the lyrics kick in. When the singing starts, play the next figure, then riffs 1A-1B at the appropriate times. Listen to the song for rhythm and number of repetitions.
E--------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------- D-------7--6--5--4---------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------
"come on in, the water's warm, sink to the bottom..."
E--------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------- D---7---6---5---4---3---2---1----------------------- A---7---6---5---4---3---2---1----------------------- D---7---6---5---4---3---2---1-----------------------
Back to Riffs 1A-1B.
At about the 3:40 mark in the song after Billy sings "I don't know" it gets really muffled and hard to hear, but I think this is what's going on...
E--------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------0------------------------ A--------------------------0~~~ ------------------- D---5--4--3------9--8--7---0------------------------
Like I said, on the recording I have it gets very muddy here. I know this is definitely part of what's going on, but certainly not all. After you have held the open D for a while, it goes back to the Riff 1A-1B, with some soloing too.
Then...around 6:14...
E--------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------- G---------------5----------------------------------- D---0---0---3---5---3---0--------------------------- A---0---0---3---3---3---0--------------------------- D---0---0---3-------3---0---------------------------
A few times, then once again its gets muddy although I think they are doing just the root notes of this riff. Someone is palm-muting thei guitar (I think) to get that chug-chug-chuggin sound. The riff enters again full-blast around 7:17.
Hit an open D chord around 7:36, then 1A-1B again.
Hit 1B again and again when Billy sings "Everyone everyone everyone..." After that it just descends by one fret gradually until u hit another open D.
E-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I---------- B-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I---------- G-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I---------- D-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I--0------- A-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I--0------- D--7--6--5--I--6--5--4--I--5--4--3--I--4--3--2--I--3--2--1--I--0-------
Follow a similar pattern with Riff 1A, going down until you yet AGAIN have to hit an open D.
After this the song picks up speed again, doing Riffs 1A-1B. You end on the final note of Riff 1B.
That's basically it. Most of the dificult parts of the song involve goofing off and moving those 2 main riffs slowly down the neck.
