Groo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) I don't know if anyone cares, but I think the fingerpicking pattern is something like (based off the 3 5 05 Vic Show): e|---------0----b|-----------3--g|--------------d|----0---------a|------0-------e|--h3---------- Edited March 25, 2006 by Groo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilcology Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 What's D/B? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 What's D/B? For this song, I play it like this: e|-2b|-3g|-0d|-0a|-2e|-0 Notice that fretting the A on the second fret adds a B note to the D chord, thus a D/B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 If my memory serves me (and often doesn't) I play it with the low E dropped to D. I'll try and post a tab later once I'm home... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've tried playing it with drop D, and it doesn't sound right to me. On the IATTBYH DVD, Jeff plays it with a capo on 2, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, leaving the G open makes that a Gmaj7. Of course, everyone loves maj7 chords. Who could hate the maj7 chord? I sure can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You need a D on that low string to get the little lick he does at the very beginning and just after the vocals. Otherwise the dropped D isn't esential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginandcigarettes Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think I've seen 3 different ways to play this lick, and not all of them require a drop d... Yeah, but the ones that don't require a drop D are wrong. Without having a guitar present I can't verify, but listening to the song (and from what I can remember) it seems like it's drop D capo 2, which is why it seems like you can play the lick in standard tuning without a capo (since they would both have low E's). But then you'd have to play other shapes for the other chords and you would generally not be playing it like Jeff Tweedy does (which is, generally speaking, the easiest way to play it).

Pecan_Pie Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Old Lammy Tab It's a pretty good tab for doing the Loose Fur version of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then you'd have to play other shapes for the other chords and you would generally not be playing it like Jeff Tweedy does (which is, generally speaking, the easiest way to play it). The Wilco full band versions circa 2002 were most definitely in D using a dropped D tuning. These ar ethe ones I play along with, so I feel pretty confident about that. I think the Loose Fur version was the same, though looking at that other tab maybe another tuning using a low D was used. I suppose in some cases (solo versions) he does it dropped D capo 2. In that case, as you said, you can use standard tuning but the chord voicings won't be exactly the same. Personally, I like the sound of the D to "pseudo D/B", capo or not.

MattZ Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The tab that I posted at the beginning of this thread does not mention dropped D tuning because the initial request was for the chords to the song. And when I posted it, I was thinking about Tweedy's solo version of the song. For the record, I do think the solo version of the song is in dropped D tuning and it makes the lick at the beginning of the song more effective/easier. That lick sure aint easy though... I always do this when I am at work so I am forced to do it from memory, but for the folks out there that play the lick in dropped D tuning, is this how you play it? Am I remembering it right? Damn I wish I had my guitar here. D -------0--4h2h4--0 (That's relative to the capo on 2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhc Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 D -------0--2h4--0 and then a D chord Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) it depends on who tweedy's playing with. if it's with glenn/loose fur, he plays Open D. if it's solo, he usually just does drop D, usually Capo 2.

Gobias Industries Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Not for the Season - Jeff solo with Glenn. well, this is in open D when Jeff plays with Glenn. below is the main riff (notated as [R]): - 0 - 0 0 - 0 - 0 0 - 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2s4 x4 you can slide or hammer, it really doesn't matter. [R] means you play that riff 4 times before moving on for the parts he sings, it sounds like he just bars across the whole fretboard.
