solo spiders & laminated cat

[muzzleofpeas]

anyone have a tab out there for jeff's solo version of spiders?? I'm pretty sure it's not in E.

 

also, I'd like a tab for the solo version of laminated cat (aka not for seasons). When I play it, I just use E, A and B7. am I missing something?

 

thanks

I play it in drop d and do a hammer-on on the third fret 6th string when playing the D in the verse.

 

Hope this helps

Here is a good wesite for different chords I use from time to time. I hope it helps! My Webpage

if you're trying to play along to the verson of laminated cat from the movie, then slap a capo on 2... sorry if i'm totally stating the obvious here.

[froggie]

yep, you are, but i forgive you

 

that key suits my voice anyway

I've been looking for a decent standard tab for this one and haven't really found one, so I've got one of my own. I think it's a little better than that other one:

 

D D/B A

e|-x x x

b|-3 3 2

g|-2 0 2

d|-0 0 2

a|-x 2 0

e|-x x x

 

x in this case just means don't play that string

 

 

VERSE:

 

[D]

Summer comes and gravity undoes you

[D/B]

You're happy because of the lovely way the sunshine bends

 

Hiding from your close friends

[A] [D]

Weeding out the weekends

 

 

 

CHORUS

 

[D/B] [A]

Candy left over from Halloween

[D] [D/B]

A unified theory of everything

[A]

Love left over from lovers leaving

[D] [D/B]

Books they all know they're not worth reading

[A] [D]

They're not worth reading.

 

 

FILL:

Instead of playing it down in drop D, I play it up on the D and G strings (very similar to how Dave Matthews plays his cover of Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away)

 

first play the D chord, then

 

g|---------2--|

d|-2--2h4----|

 

and repeat during the time where Jeff plays the fills.

 

Anyway, I play this version with a lot of palm muting and stacato picking to try and get some of the percussion into it. I play the chorus a little more open and play the open high e on the [D/B] chord. I think Jeff does on the Pacific DVD. So, it doesn't have as smooth of a feel as the drop D version does, but its different and it's at least correct. hope you enjoy.

Both of these can be played by putting a capo at the 2nd fret, but leaving your low E string un-capoed; essentially creating a drop D tuning. From there, it's not too difficult to piece together Jeff's picking. To me, the solo Spiders is phenomenal -- the whole song just takes on a completely different personality than the rocking live version. Incidentally, if anyone has an mp3 of it, I'd love to have a good version. I saw him open with it in New Orleans and Atlanta in January this year.

 

Thanks.
