WHITLIMS - "chunky chunky air guitar" Tablature
Official WHITLIMS Tablature & Sheet Music »
Whitlams "Chunky Chunky Air Guitar"
Version 1.0 pending revision.
A very simple song, harmonically - the whole song goes from Bm to E and
back again. So I won't bother writing out a chart as such. Sorry
keyboardists, this one is for guitar.
As usual ^(x) means a bend to note x, and (x)v means release the bend
from note x. / means slide, and ~ means vibrato.
h for hammer-on and p for pull-off.
Over the verses, the guitar is picking with palm muting except for the
last note of riff 1. This riff simply follows the chord change - listen to
the song for the rhythm.
d-----------------------------------------
a-----------------5-7-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-5~~---
e-7-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-------------------------
Over this there is another guitar (?) with a thick tone sliding up to the
chords as the song goes along...
g------/9---
d--/9--/9---
a--/9--/7---
e--/7-------
Now to the chorus, where there's a little bit of screaming overdrive.
There are two riffs, both around when Tim sings "...guitar"
e--12------
b--15^(17)-
ie you bend the b string till it matches the pitch of the e string.
Repeat.
chorus Riff 2:
b-------10------------------
g-9^(11)--(11)v9h7----------
d------------------9-7-9~---
So you bend the g string up to that pitch, hold it while hitting the b
string, release the bend and pull off, then play the d string.
The after the choruses and before the next verse, the guitar cleanly comps
on the Bm but an interesting voicing:
e--11--
b--12--
g--11--
And as far as I can hear on my copy, that's about it! Of course you stuff
around with a bit more noise but improvise and make it your own :-) When
the album comes out corrections will follow if needed.
