PROPS GO TO: Mike Eheler
Song : Where? Band : Nickelback Album : Curb (1996) Tuning : Dropped-D (D A D G B E) Tab By : Mike Eheler (meheler@canada.com) on Sept. 23/2002 Notes : It appears that there's no tabs out there on the net for this song. Thanks to Michael Feeney for pointing this out to me. Anyhoo the intro is played with a bit of a phaser kinda effect thing. You'll know it when you hear it. Just the part where an open d chord is being struck randomly. The rest of the song is straight ahead. The song has two guitar parts that for most of the song play the same part, but at times you can hear the 2nd guitar add a little flavour here and there. I've just tabbed the main line for a single guitar. Any corrections, please feel free to email me. INTRO For the intro part just kind of hold an open D chord (0 0 0 2 3 -) and strike some strings randomly in/around the middle of the guitar (meaning don't usually hit the low D string or the high B/E strings, unless you want to..) x = dead/muted note h = hammer on / = slide up \ = slide down br = bend and release RIFF A (- = 1/4 beat) e:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: b:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: g:14----14--14br---:11----11--11br---:-7-----7---4br---:-2-----2---2-----: d:-0-----0---0-----:-0-----0---0-----:-0-----0---0-----:-0-----0---0-----: a:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: d:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: RIFF B (- = 1/8 beat) e:---------------------------------:---------------------------------: b:---------------------3/4\3-------:---------------------3/4\3-------: g:---------------------2/3\2-------:---------------------2/3\2-------: d:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-: a:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-: d:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-:-0-----x-x-x-0---x-x---------x-x-: End on a D5 (0 0 0 - - -) Bass plays D-F-C-A progression under "I wa-uhs wrong..." You can play RIFF Ca or RIFF Cb below. RIFF Ca is just a standard chord progression, which I believe is played by guitar 1. RIFF Cb is a little more difficult, but attempts to combine the sounds of both guitars into one part. RIFF Ca (- = 1/4 beat) e:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: b:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: g:-----------------:-----------------:-5-5-xx5---5-----:-----------------: d:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:-5-5-xx5---5---xx:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: a:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:-3-3-xx3---3---xx:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: d:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:---------------xx:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: RIFF Cb (- = 1/4 beat) e:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: b:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------:-----------------: g:-----------------:-----------------:-0-0---0---0-----:-----------------: d:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:-2-2---3---2---0-:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: a:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:-3-3---3---3---0-:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: d:-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-:-3-3-xx3---3-3-3-:-----------------:-0-0-xx0---0-0-0-: End on a sharply hit D5 chord (0 0 0 - - -) Bass plays D-F-C-A progression under "I wa-uhs wrong..."
