  1. Shouldn't Be Ashamed by Wilco OK, so the lead electric guitar on this track is pretty sparse and riffy. The riff that starts out the song, I've seen it done two different ways to play this, both seem about right: E------------0--0--0-- B------------0--3--3-- G------------0--0--0-- D----0---0---2--2--2-- A------------2--2--2-- E--3---2-----0--0--0-- or E------------0--0--0-- B------------0--3--3-- G------------0--0--0-- D------------2--2--2-- A----0---0---2--2--2-- E--3---2-----0--0--0-- Notice taht initially, you play a normal Em once, and bring down your pinky to turn it into an Em7
  2. Thanks, Gin! I was hoping you might chime in . I will have to check our your licks when I get a chance. This is my first time attempting a large scale tabbing project like this, so I'm sure there's a couple errors (it sounds pretty good to me, but always good to get another set of ears in on it). I didn't tab out the choruses too much, because I wasn't hearing much outside of the chords, other than the 3 licks or so I posted. I'll have to go back and double check these. Looks like you picked up on some tasty licks I may have missed . I've been on a no capo kick lately, so one of my goals
  3. And here's Box Full of Letters (finally) Box Full of Letters There are actually at least two guitars on this track. Depending on whether or not you have a rhythm guitarist playing with you, you might want to play it differently. The way Jeff usually plays this, he does it with a capo on 2, but this tab is for playing it open. The intro riff is based around a D shape on the fourth fret and is as follows: E----4---5-4---4----4---5-4----- B------5-----5----5---5-----7-5- G--4---------------------------- D------------------------------- A------------------------------- E-----------
  4. Thanks! I'm just happy to contribute. Status update: I've got Box Full of Letters all figured out, working getting the tab written up. I've started figuring out the Shouldn't be Ashamed solo (doesn't sound easy).
  5. Casino Queen - it's best to play the riffs a little "dirty" here - it's ok to hit a couple extra open strings here and there, in fact, you'll have to in order to get the right sound. Intro Riff - I like to play this riff really clean. I use the pick and my middle finger to pick the the two note fills. E-3-2-1--------------------3-2-1------------ B-0-0-0--1-1-1-------------0-0-0--1-1-1-3--- G--------0-0-0--b3--0-0-----------0-0-0----- D-------------------0-0--------------------- A----------------------------------------b3- E------------------ x 2--------------------- Instead of bending
  6. So, I'm making it a little project for myself to learn the lead guitar parts on Wilco's A.M. I absolutely love the guitar work on the album. There's tons of tasty licks to cop, and not a whole lot of documentation on what's going on. I figure since you guys have been so good with providing me with tabs, I'm going to try to give back a bit to the community. I will post them up as I figure them out Hope someone will find these useful. Let me know if you have any corrections. The lead guitar work on this album sounds like it's done using a humbuckered guitar with a good amount of overdrive into
  7. The Wilco Ensemble is excellent. It's a great place to develop your skills. If you have a love of Wilco, I'm sure you'd fit right in.
  8. Didn't know what to expect but, wow, great job! Now I got a hankering to cover this one.
  9. Hey all, I was struck with the greatest idea the other day - build a copy of Jeff's Uncle Tupelo bass. People make copies of artists iconic instruments all the time (Keith Richard's Tele Micawber, EVH's Start), so why not Jeff Tweedy? I'm a bassist, and a big Uncle Tupelo fan, so this bass is iconic to me in a way. I want to build a replica. I need your guys' help though. I need pics/info about the bass, and I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. The Wilco Book has a great shot of all the wear on the back of the bass, which is what I hope to replicate. Looking at pics of
  10. Just a little song I wrote tonight. The fiance is out of town, so I'm feeling contemplative. Let me know what y'all think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD21sNkmXQc
  11. Most of the songs follow the chords pretty closely, with some flavor tossed in here and there. What seems to be giving you trouble?
  12. That's some nice pickin'!! Very Ryan Adams-esque (in a good way).
  13. Get the amp you want. You can turn the amp and your guitar down as low as they will go, and you will be able to play in your apt.
  14. It goes D C G then D Em C
  15. I thought that too, until I listened real close to the lyrics. Either that, or I stole those lyrics from someplace, else, I can't can't remember. Either way, "blind women in advertising" is a much better line .
  16. Wow, perfect, thank you!!! Here are the words: what am good am i long lived test don't cry hit poems song in my heart skull in my pocket what good am i time takes a stage drowned out wine women and advertising no no no currency exchange that's easy for you to say I don't need anything I don't need anything I need you
  17. I use this site to buy strings, it may or may not be what you're looking for: http://www.stringsandbeyond.com
  18. True Love Will Find You in the End
  19. Can anyone at least post the chords?
  20. If it's any help, I'm a really nice guy, and I would really like to see this song tabbed out. Toodles .
  21. Best site for chords http://www.jguitar.com
  22. Not quite Wilco, but we do have some cool stuff. If you're in Chicago, or you know someone in Chicago, spread the word:
  23. Nice looking studio? You kind of look like Jason Little from Grandaddy .
