ARTIST: Dada
TUNING: Standard, down half a step (Low to High: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
The guitars on all of dada's albums since "El Subliminoso"
are tuned down half a step because of Michael Gurley's
carpal tunnel. You can play this song in standard tuning,
but it will sound just a bit too high.
CAPO: None
===================================================================
== INTRODUCTORY NOTES ==
===================================================================
This song of course sounds best if you tune the guitar down half
a step, but it's not necessary. The chords listed below are all
relative to position, not pitch. For example, anything listed as
an "E" is really "Eb", due to the lower tuning, but it's been
named "E" because the fingering is the way you'd play an "E" if
the guitar were in standard tuning, and so on...
The only part of the song that I've actually tabbed out is the
acoustic intro/verse riff. You can find it in the Reference
Section at the bottom of the file. This is played during the first
part of each verse, instead of strumming chords. There are slight
variations on the riff throughout, but nothing major.
The rest of the song consists of heavy electric guitar, which is
sort of strummed, as well as lots of electric lead fills and such
(which I haven't tabbed out). If you really want to learn those
parts, you can figure them out for yourself. None of them are
very hard. I just don't feel like tabbing all that stuff out. Yes,
I'm lazy. The basic chords I've shown below should definitely get
you through the tune if you're playing by yourself.
I suggest you add lots of little mini-fills and variations to
your strumming. In that way, you can actually simulate a lot of
the lead parts and incorporate it into your standard performance
of the song. Try experimenting, especially on the "A" chords at
the end of the chorus and pre-choruses. I know it's hard to get
what I mean, but at least give it a shot. I do it all the time
and it sounds pretty cool.
