-------------------------------------- RATTLESNAKE - ST VINCENT -------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Cate Tuning: Standard I've finally edited this from a crappy version I did months ago. This is the part Annie Clark said was inspired Selda Bağcan's "Yaylalar." (see below) Notes marked with b^½ means bend note up a half step (or whatever amount it indicates). Solo (with fuzz and overdrive? shifter? I have no idea): e|---------------------| B|---------------------| G|-/15--15-15-13-10-7--| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| e|---------------------|------------| B|---------------------|------------| G|-/13--13-13-12-10-7--|-7b^½--5--3-| x2 D|---------------------|------------| A|---------------------|------------| E|---------------------|------------| e|---------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------| G|-/17---15-17b^¹--10-17---/21b^½-18b^½*-| D|---------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------| *Hold the last note indefinitely while smirking before going on a crazy tremolo tangent (bonus for tapping) **18b^½ could also just be 19. She seems to end it on the 19th fret live with a bend? Basically play it however you want. I just like bending a lot because it looks cool and makes me feel like I look like I know what I'm doing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ St. Vincent on the "Rattlesnake" solo: "I was listening to Selda who is this Turkish artist from the ’70s. In Turkey they use an instrument called the saz (I’m telling you what I’m sure you alread know, so just humor me). In that case you play the melodies on one string. So this is probably getting too much in the technical nerd world, but I knew that the guitar part on “Rattlesnake” had to sound rubbery so I had to find out how to play it all on one string, so it felt like it was a little ahead of the beat, so it sounds more anxious than is comfortable."
