elliot smith. have any of you tried this song? its amaizing. i'm not quite sure about one part though. i got this tab from sweetadaleline.net . the part that isn't right is 3h4 to the 5r3.

Code: Select all

intro:
e|-0------------------0----------------------------|
B|-3b5r3-1------1-1-1-3h4-4h5-3b5r3-1-----------1--|
G|---------2----------------------------0-------0--|
D|----------0-2-3-3-3-----------------2------------|
A|------------------3---------------3-----------3--|
E|----------------------------------------0-1-2-3--|

e|-0-------------------1-1-1-1---0---------------1-1-1-1-|
B|-3b5r3-1-----1-------1-1-1-1---1---------------1-1-1-1-|
G|---------2---2-------2-2-2-2---0-----2-2-4-4-0-2-2-2-2-|
D|-----------3---3-2-0---0-0-0-2-2-----2---------3-3-3-3-|
A|-------------------------------3-2-0-0---0-----3-3-3-3-|
E|-----------------------------------------------1-1-1-1-|
i think its something more like this:

Code: Select all

E:----------------------
B:--3---4---4---5------- << 3 
G:---------------------- 
D:--2---3---4---5------- << 1 on 2,3   2 on 4,5
A:----------------------
E:----------------------
he plays this song a whole step down like most of his songs. i used transcribe to speed it up so it sounds like its in standard tuning to tab. i can't get it to sounds as good as his, but maybe i just need practice. its seems like he's doing a lot more hammering and pulling off in that sequence, but i'm not too sure how.

here is the song if you don't have it.

I haven't tried this one yet. I'm trying to work through Angeles right now.
Elliott was a much better guitarist than people think and a lot of his stuff isn't easy.

He was a very troubled man. It's sad when someone can't get the help they need.

It sure is. Depression is an evil monster. Apparently gettin off all his meds was too much and there was no longer something to hold his past back.
