----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tundra/Desert by Modest Mouse from This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know why nobody tabbed this song, I love it. This is my first tab, don't be surprised if it's not great. One last thing, like many of Modest Mouse's other earlier songs this one has a lot of improvization so I didn't have a heart attack getting every exact detail. Enjoy. Tuning: Standard | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x mute note | b bend Intro- This part is played pretty slow e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--5----------5--------------------------------------------------------| x 12 A|--x----/2----x----/3--------------------------------------------------| E|--3----------3--------------------------------------------------------| Lead Into Verse e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| x 2 A|-2--2-2--2-2--2-2-2-2---3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3---------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse (Note: This is the base for the verse. It will not keep this exact pattern for the whole song. Little bits are also changed or added as a lot of it is improvised but don't worry too much. Also, there are no exact number of measures to play this, just listen to the song, you should know when the solo kicks in and from there on the first guitar will go back to this again for the rest of the song) e|-19b-15b-19b-15b---15b-15b-15b-19b---19b-15b-19b-15b---15b-19b-15b-19b-----| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm (Second Guitar) e|-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-------------------------------------------| B|-xxxx-33-xxxx-33-xxxx-44-xxxx-44-------------------------------------------| G|-xxxx-44-xxxx-44-xxxx-55-xxxx-55-------------------------------------------| D|-xxxx-44-xxxx-44-xxxx-55-xxxx-55-------------------------------------------| A|-xxxx-22-xxxx-22-xxxx-33-xxxx-33-------------------------------------------| E|-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-xxxx-xx-------------------------------------------| Solo (Note: This seems right to me the first time it is played but later on in the song will come up again and a lot will be improvised so don't stick exactly to this the time). e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-10-10-|(cont'd D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| on A|---------------------------------------------------------------------| next E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| line) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------10-8-7---7-7-7-7-7-| G|-10-10-10-10-10-7-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-10-10-10-10--------------------|(cont'd D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| on A|---------------------------------------------------------------------| next E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| line) e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-7-7-7-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-10-8-7-8-7-|(cont'd G|--------------------------------------------------------------------| on D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| next A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| line) E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-8-7--------------------------| G|-9-9-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Order for 1st Guitar ------ Intro Lead Into Verse Verse (Improvise) Solo Verse (Improvise) Order for 2nd Guitar ------ Rhythm (Start when the First Verse Starts) Improvised Solo (Play towards the end of the song) Enjoy.
