I learned it from a friend a while back and thought Id tab it out for the beginners in the forum, to show you what fun alternate tunings can be. This is a modal tuning originally in D Acoustics: tune down to DGCGCD from low to high Electric: its easier to because of high tension strings tune 3rd string up to A and the 2nd string up to D for EADADE low to high These are the main parts but not the song from beginning to end. Youll have to listen to the album for rythms and suquence of parts. __________ VERSE PART __________ --0----|--0--|--0--0--0--0-|-3-------|------------|E HIGH --7----|--6--|--5--5--3--2-|-3-------|------------|D --0----|--0--|--4--4--4--4-|-3-------|2-4-4-------|A --7----|--6--|--5--5--5--5-|-3-------|2-2-2-------|D --0----|--0--|0-0--0--0--0-|-----0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-|A -------|-----|-------------|---------|------------|E LOW play -0---0--0---0--|--0-----/----0-0| X2 -11--9--12--11-|--4----/-----9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0---/------0-0| -11--9--12--11-|--4--/slow---9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0-/slide---8-8| ---------------|----------------| -0---0--|--0-----|-5-5-----5-5-5---5-5-| -10--9--|--9-----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| PLAYX2 -11--10-|--10----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| || -12--11-|--10----|-5-4-----4-5-4---4-5-| || -0---0--|--0-----|-----5-5-------5-----| <='' --------|--------|---------------------| -0--0--------------|-0-------------|-5-5-----5-5-5---5------| -10-9--------9-12-9|-9-------9-12-9|-0-0-----0-0-0---0------| -11-10----10-------|-10----10------|-0-0-----0-0-0---0------| -12-11--11---------|-10-10---------|-5-4-----4-5-4---4-5-7--| -0--0--------------|-0-------------|-----5-5-------5--------| -------------------|---------------|------------------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| -2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--|-2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--|-2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--| -2-2-2---------4---2|-3-3-3---------4---2|-4-4-4---------4---2| -0-0-0--------------|-0-0-0--------------|-0-0-0--------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| / \ triplet ------2-----------|--------4-5-4------|-2---4----2-4-2-----------| <== this ------------2-----|---4-----------4---|-2-2-----------2-4-2------| measure --4-----------4---|---4-------------4-|-2------------------2-4-2-| can be 5---5-----------5-|---4---------------|-2-----------------------2| played an ------------------|---5--5------------|-4------------------------| alternate ------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| way || || || <=='' |-2--4------4-------4---------| |-2-------2---2---2---2-------| |-2---------------------------| |-2-----0---------------------| |-4-------------4-------------| |-----------------------------| / \triplet / \ -0--2---0-2-0--------|-0-2--0-2-0------------| -0-------------0-----|-0----------0---2--4-4-| -0---------------0---|-0------------0-2--2-2-| -0-----------------0-|-0--------------0--0-0-| -2-------------------|-2---------------------| ---------------------|-----------------------| back to begining ---------0---0--------------------------------------- ---------7---6--------------------------------------- ---------0---0--------------------------------------- ---------7---6--------------------------------------- ---------0---0------etc.----------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- _____________ BRIDGE??

I learned it from a friend a while back and thought Id tab it out for the beginners in the forum, to show you what fun alternate tunings can be. This is a modal tuning originally in D Acoustics: tune down to DGCGCD from low to high Electric: its easier to because of high tension strings tune 3rd string up to A and the 2nd string up to D for EADADE low to high These are the main parts but not the song from beginning to end. Youll have to listen to the album for rythms and suquence of parts. __________ VERSE PART __________ --0----|--0--|--0--0--0--0-|-3-------|------------|E HIGH --7----|--6--|--5--5--3--2-|-3-------|------------|D --0----|--0--|--4--4--4--4-|-3-------|2-4-4-------|A --7----|--6--|--5--5--5--5-|-3-------|2-2-2-------|D --0----|--0--|0-0--0--0--0-|-----0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-|A -------|-----|-------------|---------|------------|E LOW play -0---0--0---0--|--0-----/----0-0| X2 -11--9--12--11-|--4----/-----9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0---/------0-0| -11--9--12--11-|--4--/slow---9-9| -0---0--0---0--|--0-/slide---8-8| ---------------|----------------| -0---0--|--0-----|-5-5-----5-5-5---5-5-| -10--9--|--9-----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| PLAYX2 -11--10-|--10----|-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-| || -12--11-|--10----|-5-4-----4-5-4---4-5-| || -0---0--|--0-----|-----5-5-------5-----| <='' --------|--------|---------------------| -0--0--------------|-0-------------|-5-5-----5-5-5---5------| -10-9--------9-12-9|-9-------9-12-9|-0-0-----0-0-0---0------| -11-10----10-------|-10----10------|-0-0-----0-0-0---0------| -12-11--11---------|-10-10---------|-5-4-----4-5-4---4-5-7--| -0--0--------------|-0-------------|-----5-5-------5--------| -------------------|---------------|------------------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| -2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--|-2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--|-2-4-4-2-4-0-2---0--| -2-2-2---------4---2|-3-3-3---------4---2|-4-4-4---------4---2| -0-0-0--------------|-0-0-0--------------|-0-0-0--------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| / \ triplet ------2-----------|--------4-5-4------|-2---4----2-4-2-----------| <== this ------------2-----|---4-----------4---|-2-2-----------2-4-2------| measure --4-----------4---|---4-------------4-|-2------------------2-4-2-| can be 5---5-----------5-|---4---------------|-2-----------------------2| played an ------------------|---5--5------------|-4------------------------| alternate ------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| way || || || <=='' |-2--4------4-------4---------| |-2-------2---2---2---2-------| |-2---------------------------| |-2-----0---------------------| |-4-------------4-------------| |-----------------------------| / \triplet / \ -0--2---0-2-0--------|-0-2--0-2-0------------| -0-------------0-----|-0----------0---2--4-4-| -0---------------0---|-0------------0-2--2-2-| -0-----------------0-|-0--------------0--0-0-| -2-------------------|-2---------------------| ---------------------|-----------------------| back to begining ---------0---0--------------------------------------- ---------7---6--------------------------------------- ---------0---0--------------------------------------- ---------7---6--------------------------------------- ---------0---0------etc.----------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- _____________ BRIDGE??
