Gobias Industries Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I can play this song (I figured it out from 2006.04.08 Hotel S 'n' S), so I'll get a full tab up later (Jeff solo version). I'll include an mp3 for reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) One of the riffs in Walken goes something like this: e ------------------------------------b 5-5-3------------------------------g 6-6-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---d -------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---a-------------------------------------e------------------------------------- I'll try and figure this whole riff and the other ones as soon as I get the chance.

Kalle Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I also believe that Jeff uses a different tuning when playing this live with Wilco. He tunes the low E and A strings down a step and plays this riff. ebgdg --0--0--0--0--0--0d 5--5--5--5--5--5 That's what I think he does but who knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's just slack G tuning. DGDGBD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Yeah that's guarenteed because one of the other riffs goes something like this: d ---------------3p0-3---------------------------------3p0-3---12-11/10-9b ---------3p0------------???????--0-----------3p0-------------------------g 0h3p0---------------------------------0h3p0------------------------------d -----------------------------------------------------------------------------g -----------------------------------------------------------------------------d ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll actually finish these riffs I promise lol.

Try that Apparently Jeff's part is actually a bit more complicated, but this is the main melody. If someone has this from the solo acoustic version, that would be very cool e ------------------------------------b 5-5-3------------------------------g 6-6-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---d -------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---a-------------------------------------e------------------------------------- What's this? I play the first riff as -3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0 X2-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-----3-0-3-0-0-0-0-1-0 then lowG--------3-----------------------3---------------lowD-3-5-3--5-3-5--3-55---3-5-3--5-3-5--3-55-- second riff is how you tabbbed it, with a couple things added as above third riff is something like -------------------------------------------------------------0-2-2-0-------0-2-2-3-4--2----------2--1----------------------------------------------------------------------- but without a guitar here I'm not sure at all about the last bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The riffs are great "jhc" the first one that you posted is off this is the way I'm playing it right now. d ------------------------------------------------------------------b 5-5-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-5-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----0g 6-6-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-6-6-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----0d 7-7-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-7-7-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----0g ---------------------------------------------------------------1--d ------------------------------------------------------------------ then it goes into the other riff you tabbed which is perfect. d -------------------------------------------------b -------------------------------------------------g -------------------------------------------------d -------------------------------------------------g --------3-----------------------3---------------d -3-5-3--5-3-5--3-55---3-5-3--5-3-5--3-55-- then for this one I was playing something along these lines d ---------------3p0-3---------------------------------3p0-3---12-11/10-9b ---------3p0------------8-6h7p6-0-----------3p0-------------------------g 0h3p0---------------------------------0h3p0------------------------------d -----------------------------------------------------------------------------g -----------------------------------------------------------------------------d ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then on to the rockin solo and for the last riff. Which is perfect with this last little bit. d------------------------------------------b------------------------------------------g---0-2-2-0-------0-2-2-3-4-------------d-2----------2--1--------------------------g---------------------------------0---0---0d-------------------------------5---5---5--5 And Jeff just keeps on rockin those two G notes until the end. I dunno I'll keep working at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually the 4th fret of the G string, which is the same as your B string open. Seems like we're playing more or less the same thing here. The last riff looks good to me.
