Theologians Slide Tab


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for the tab for the slide part (sorry for the vagueness) on Theologians. To give you a better understanding of what I'm talking about, its after the "cherry ghost" section at the very end of the song. I'm not sure what the technical term is but its the classical slide sounding section that I'm looking for specifically. I haven't seen the tab for it anywhere so if anyone knows the tab or could tab it out I would be very grateful.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what part you're talking about (maybe you could hum it for us), but the acoustic guitar part (it's not a slide guitar, just a guitar played with slides -- um, if that makes sense) in the very last eight bars or so of the song will sound suspiciously like this:

 

1..+.....+.....+.....+.....2..+.....+.....+.....+......

 

e-/10-------------5-----6--|-/8--------------3-----5--|

B--------------------------|--------------------------|

G-/10-------------5-----7--|-/9--------------3-----5--|

D--------------------------|--------------------------|

A--------------------------|--------------------------|

E--------------------------|--------------------------|

 

3..+.....+.....+.....+.....4..+.....+.....+.....+......

 

e--6-----------------------|--------------------------|

B--------------6h8---6-----|--5-----------------------|

G--7-----------------------|--------------------------|

D--------------------------|--------------------------|

A--------------------------|--------------------------|

E--------------------------|--------------------------|

 

5..+.....+.....+.....+.....6..+.....+.....+.....+......

 

e--------------------------|--------------------------|

B--3-----------------------|--------------------------|

G--------------2--3----/5--|--------------------------|

D--3-----------3--5----/7--|--------------------------|

A--------------------------|--------------------------|

E--------------------------|--------------------------|

 

7..+.....+.....+.....+.....8..+.....+.....+.....+......

 

e-----3-----------6--------|-----8--------------------|

B--------------------------|--------------------------|

G-/3----------/7-----------|-/9-----------------------|

D--------------------------|--------------------------|

A--------------------------|--------------------------|

E--------------------------|--------------------------|

 

I say suspiciously because I'm doing this from memory. I wrote this stuff out at home and then totally forgot to bring it to work, so I might have to make a few corrections tomorrow. I seem to remember that something is going on in bar 6, but I listened to a crappy version of the song on youtube and I can't hear anything there, so I was probably drunk. Finally, the notes in bar 8 are barely perceptible, too, but I'm pretty sure I remember them. At least they're part of the chord and won't sound obviously wrong.

 

I hope this helps. Let me know if you were really thinking of another part.
