American Baby INTRO tabs?

fret · Post by **fret** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:47 pm

Did a few searches, came up empty handed.. But I was trying to get my hands on the few notes to American Baby Intro.. Anyone have a link on this board to those tabs that I overlooked?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Fret

This is my first lick i've ever really picked out by ear, so it might be wrong. but it sounds like:

e---7--7--7---10---9---7------7--
b---------------------------10-----
g----7--7--(7)---7---7------------
d-----------------------------------
a-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------

American baby: Violin Intro

Basically what i do is let my index and middle finger rest on the 7s and let the pinky do the real work. If i had i microphone i would record it for you. Sorry!

haha, i think he means the actual; song 'American Baby Intro", but that actually does sound right for the intro of "AB"

I play that like this:

Code: Select all

e|-------------------------------------
B|--10---12---12---15-15-14-12-10------
G|-----7----7----7----------------7-7--
D|-------------------------------------
A|-------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------

But I am assuming that he wanted the actual AB Intro tab. And Pat's is correct.

I forgot about there being a intro before the intro. I mainly just listen to Die Trying and Hunger on the album. I do listen to the rest but i manily just go to those first. But for that intro though i have not listen to it enough to tab it. I thought it was just dave on piano the whole song.

Pat's tab is accurate. But I hear him play a note right before going into that in the 9-3 recording. Am I going nuts or is it there?

yeah, sometimes a little A is added in there.

I think he plays an open D 2, 0, 2, 3...

I saw him at Phoenix and he wasn't using his pinky at all so I'm guessing the D is open.

The 5 on A makes a good stretching exercise though :p

Yea, I do either, I kinda like the pinky so I can mute more, but we all have to play exactly like Dave!

Yeah, I make some muting there too.

And no, not exactly like him. As long as it sounds good, I'm for it. For example, Dave's strumming. I think I strum differently that Dave in half of the DMB songs I play.
