tweedyjacket Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Does anybody have tabs or know how to play the solo, acoustic version of Spiders Jeff plays at UChicago (Mandel Hall, I think)? Its the one posted on wilcoworld. Thanks a lot. Also, its definitely not the way its written in the post with the huge list of tabs, its really different, so just directing me there wouldnt really help.

Groo Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Is this what you're looking for: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?sho...6449&hl=spiders ? Ya, that tab covers some of what he plays, but it doesn't cover a lot of stuff. If anyone with an ear better than me can fill in the rest of the parts, that would be awesome...

Gobias Industries Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 the only difference besides what is mentioned in groo's link is that tweedy capoes 2, not three on the UChicago recording, and that it sounds like he is fingerpicking the whole song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tweedyjacket Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 That link is really helpful, thanks a lot, but I think there are a few problems with it, most of which I was able to fix I think to adapt it to the live performance at UChicago, but one that I couldn't figure out. And yes, you're right, it is capoed at the second fret. But anyway, the ones I think I fixed are as follows: The opening chord shouldn't be: E---------------B--------------G--------------D--------------A-------5---------D-------0-------- The A string should be open to look like this: E---------------B--------------G--------------D--------------A-------0---------D-------0-------- And then the D/B string should be modified a bit to look like this: E-------0------B-------3------G-------0------D-------0------A-------2---------D-------0-------- I know that's how Jeff plays it in not for the season, and this sounds exactly the same, especially the open E string. Then, the line that says: D __________________________________D/Bspinning out webs of deductions and melodies, on a private beach in michigan should be: D ____________________________________Em_______________D/B(modified as above))spinning out webs of deductions and melodies, on a private beach in michigan The other thing I fixed:Em_____________ A*______this recent rash of kidsmoke, In this part, the A* is like this: E---------------B-----2--------G-----0---------D-----2---------A----------------D--------------- but Jeff changes it up a bit and adds some sliding in, so it ends up looking like this (with spacing signifying strumming, very roughly though) E---------------------------------------------------------B-----2---2----222----3----2----5----22---------------------------G-----0---0----000----0----0----0----00--------------------------D-----2---2----222----4----2----5----22------------------------A-------------------------------------------------------D-------------------------------------------------------- On the tab where it says:Em_____________________________________ohhhh...................................so good to be alone It should be: Em_________________________D/B(modified)______________ohhhh...................................so good to be alone So that's all fixed, which means everything is playable for me, except the end part ("I'll stay in my bed, you can be the stone..."). The way its tabbed out in that link doesn't sound right at all. And disregard the posts people made under the main tab on that link because they aren't helpful for the UChicago version. Hope this helps some people, and hopefully someone can get back to me on that end part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

therosycrucifixion Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 i don't know if he it plays like this at all, but i always play the a and switch it like this: ...kidsmokee--------------b--2-----2-----g--2--2--------d--2--2--2----a--------------d-------------- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
