Tuning: Unlike a large number of Slint songs, it's in standard.
After the bass does the little intro thing using the tapping technique, open with the following riffs
repeated thrice.
MELODY 1.1
e|-----------0--------|
B|-1-----0-1---3------|
G|---2-----------2--0-|
D|-----3--------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
e|---------------0-----------|
B|---------------------1---1-|
G|-3-2---2---0-1-----1---1---|
D|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|
Then go to the next riff, this is essentially following the bassline.
MELODY 1.2
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-----7-------3---3-|
A|---0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0---0-0-3---3---|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 comes in at this point, playing the following. Do this three times (again, this song has heavy
emphasis on x3).
MELODY 2.1
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-----7-----|
A|---0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0---0-0-|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then Guitar 1 constantly repeats the next mute picked riff 18 times while Guitar 2 plays Melody 2.2 for 3
more repeats.
MELODY 1.3
e|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|-----------|
D|-x-x-x-----|
A|-0-0-0-(7)-|
E|-x-x-x-----|
(7) denotes a natural harmonic at the 7th fret
MELODY 2.2
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-----7-------7---7---7-|
A|---0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0---0-0-8---8---8---|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
On the very last repeat of the riff just throw in an open A string after the third repeat has finished.
After this it's all repeats of what's already been played, with exception from a completely improvised Ebow
solo for 9 bars and Guitar 2 playing Melody 2.3 while the solo is taking place
MELODY 2.3
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-------7---7---7-7-----7-----7--------11----11-|
A|---0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0-8---8---8-----0-0---0-0---0-0-11----11----|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Here's a chart of what gets played when how many times
GUITAR 1 GUITAR 2
Bass intro Bass intro
Melody 1.1 x3
Melody 1.2 x3 Melody 2.1 x3
Melody 1.3 x18 Melody 2.2 x3
Bass intro Bass intro
Melody 1.3 x18 Melody 2.2 x3
Melody 1.2 x3 Melody 2.1 x3
Melody 1.1 x3
Melody 1.2 x3 Melody 2.1 x3
Ebow solo Melody 2.3 x9
Melody 1.2 x5 Melody 2.3 x5
And that's it.
I might add a bass tab to accompany this one in the future, the bassline on this song is quite repetitive but
there are some unexpected changes here and there.
