Andrew Kwame Tay ------- Sloan Coax Me ------- Key: G#m Arrangement: 3 electric guitars Tab source: audio Accuracy: at least 86% Tabbed by: Andrew Tay (aka Ant) August 1995 - January 1996 [email protected] Hi there. Here's some tab for Sloan's excellent song, "Coax Me". Too bad they called it quits. Um anyway, I've tabbed the first rhythm guitar which Jay plays throughout the song. Patrick's part (guitar 2) is just chords, and is explained at the end. There's also a third guitar that comes in the bridge and plays chords, doubling Patrick and filling out the sound. Just use the same chords as guitar 2. GUITAR 1 -------- Play it clean and let it ring throughout. It's played entirely in the top 3 strings. Sometimes he doubles the high notes, but it's difficult to make out when.

End on G#major (xx6544) GUITAR 2 -------- This is all played with barre chords, and with a lot of palm muting. I'm not sure if these are the exact voicings Patrick uses, but close enough. It sounds like most of the chords are partial chords (i.e. only 3 or 4 of the 6 strings are actually played), but I'll let you figure out how best to play them. Soundwise, you should use the bridge pickup (preferably a humbucker) with mild distortion.
