Tablature Archive updated
 
Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I've updated the Tab Archive w/ some stuff I think people have been waiting for... Bubblegum, Pay No Mind, Chinese Jam, Smoke Blisters 3 & 4, and Silver Breeze, to name a few (a few I didn't think anyone would give a shit about, so I tabbed most of 'The Eternal' instead..)

lo-fi suicide 06.21.2009 08:28 AM

thanks a lot
i thought it was DADAAD

canabero 06.21.2009 11:51 AM

the eternal? any?

Those tabs really give insights the inner workings of the composition process.
Also shows how the Sonic architecture works...

A really awesome doing

I'm always amazed how you do this, so quickly too. I was always so proud that you gave me a mention on the mary christ tab.
what kind of a player are you that you can do a whole album this quickly?

Chris Lawrence 06.21.2009 11:27 PM

oh, i actually suck. :p

hmm no, i don't think i'm actually that great at figuring songs out perfectly, and i definitely don't try as often as i did when i was younger, but watching those pitchfork performances really made me want to figure the songs out, and i like puzzles so anytime thurston has a new tuning it's fun to try to crack it thru trial and error. i thooought i had succeeded but 'lo-fi suicide' has me second guessing myself...

i'll say this: the record is probably so damn good because the songs are so FUN to play. i could play around in lee's 'schizo' tuning for hours, and i can't believe it took him 22 years to write more songs in it! (practically the entire album, too!)

i meant to emphasize how rough these tabs are, though, i just realized that i was working enough of em out that i might as well post em. i'm hoping that dude who did the golden 3-guitar tabs for albums like 'nurse' and 'rather ripped' will reappear soon...

try Sacred Trickster
i think DADAAD (for Thurston) is more correct, bit i can be wrong too :/

Chris Lawrence 06.22.2009 12:17 AM

i'm not sure, i don't think he changes tunings (unlike kim!!) and once i clicked on using the DDAF#AD tuning (which was one of kim's) for thurston's parts, those low unison Ds made everything clear: the sheer heaviness of every song that was missing from my earlier "DADXXX" attempts was suddenly unavoidable. his custom jazzmasters should come pre-tuned to that tuning.

check 'calming the snake', i think it has the open F# string in the intro?

i suppose it's possible that he does retune! i'd like to hear more people's opinions.. also on the 'C tuning' songs...

that would be great
especially if Thurston himself tell us the true tuning

Chris Lawrence 06.22.2009 02:34 AM

that takes the fun out of it! i'll find out next month anyway...

what is that?
DDAF#AD on the left with Calming the Snake sign
Trickster on the right and who the fuck knows what the DDADDADAAADDAF#F# is this

ymjon 06.22.2009 12:34 PM

I think Kim's tuning for antenna is DADABB

hey, AWESOME! that confirms it, thanks! i wish i could see a better pic of that, looks like they're early notes on how to play some of the eternal tunes (though i can never really decipher the way they draw their chords on those vertical fretboards!).

i think kim may be in DADABD on antenna, but haven't actually figured anything out beyond her intro.

lo-fi suicide 06.22.2009 02:39 PM

anyway, something does not converge with DDAF#AD on Sacred Trickster
it doesn't sound right
