Guest gryfyrg Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) Wilco - Spiders (Kidsmoke), live version circa 2004 Parts of this are taken from the live version that was posted on the official website a while ago because it's easier to tell what's going on and who's playing what - some of these probably aren't exactly correct but they work in the context of the song and use the right notes _________________________________________________________ First, Nel's rhythm part for a lot of the song (straight quarter notes throughout): |----------0---0------------0---0---||----------3---3------------3---3---||-4---4------------4---4------------||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------| palm mute................................| repeat ad ifinitum he may play something like this later, although it's hard to tell: |-----0-------0--------0-------0---||-3-------5--------3-------5-------||------------------------------------||------------------------------------||------------------------------------||------------------------------------| p.m. .......................................| ___________________________________________________________ Jorgensen's synth part (arr. for guitar, straight quarter notes) |-----0-------0-------0--------0---||---------3----------------3--------||-4---------------4-----------------||------------------------------------||------------------------------------||------------------------------------|p.m. .......................................| repeat, with this variation played before the "rock" part (the first "3" being on the down beat) |-----0---0------------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0----||-3----------------3----------------3---------------3-------------||--------------4----------------4---------------4-----------------||------------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------------|p.m. ............................................................................| _______________________________________________________ Sansone plays the occasional synth chord, and variations thereof: |-0---0---0---0-------------------------0---0---0---0---||-3---3---3---3-------------------------0---3---3---3---||-4---4---4---4-------------------------4---4---4---4---||----------------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------------| and the keyboard part: "this recent rash of kidsmoke, all the telescopic poems..." |---------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------4------------------------------2---||---------------------------------4------------------------------2---||---------------------------------2------------------------------0---||---------------------------------------------------------------------| "it's good to be alone" |---------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------2--------------------------------------------||------------------------2--------------------------------------------||------------------------0--------------------------------------------| _____________________________________________________ Tweedy's intro: hit the low e for a while, then hit the 9th fret of the d string for a while, with vibrato Little riff after "it's good to be alone": |---------------------||---------------------||--------4-----------||-6~~---------------||------------7--------||---------------------| An example of what he might play before the "rock" part: |-------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------7/9---7------6/7-----||-------------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------5/7---5------4/5-----||-0-----------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||------6---4---2---4---2---1---2------------------6-------||-------------------------------------------4/6/7-------7---||-4----------------------------------2-----------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------| "Rock part" I'm still uncertain whether he plays power chords or just octaves, but I'll tab out the full chords anyway I don't know who's playing what in this section, so this is a combination of all the parts that are audible; pick and choose at your discretion |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-9---9---9--9---9---9---9------9--9--9--7---7---6--7---7---7---6------4--2--4---||-9---9---9--9---9---9---9------9--9--9--7---7---6--7---7---7---6------4--2--4---||-7---7---7--7---7---7---7------7--7--7--5---5---4--5---5---5---4------2--0--2---||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------------||-6---6----4---2------4---2-----------------------------------------------||-6---6----4---2------4---2---6---7---9----------------------11---------||-4---4----2---0------2---0---6---7---9----------9/11/12---------12---||-------------------------------4---5---7----------------------------------| There's a variation that goes like this: |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-9---9---9--9---9---9---9------9--9--9--11---11---11--11--7---7---6------4--2--4---||-9---9---9--9---9---9---9------9--9--9--11---11---11--11--7---7---6------4--2--4---||-7---7---7--7---7---7---7------7--7--7---9-----9----9---9---5---5---4------2--0--2---||---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------------||-6---6----4---2------4---2-----------------------------------------------||-6---6----4---2------4---2---6---7---9----------------------11---------||-4---4----2---0------2---0---6---7---9----------9/11/12---------12---||-------------------------------4---5---7----------------------------------| When Jeff sings over this section, one of the guitars does this: |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-9-------------------11---------------------------13--------------------16-----------||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-7--------------------9----------------------------11--------------------14----------||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| tremelo picking........................................................................................ On the very last playing of this section, the keyboard plays the tremolo chords above using the rhythm everyone else is using For the last note, play the low E-string and press the string down behind the nut with your thumb.

Guest gryfyrg Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) thats some great work.... also, i know that jeff uses a capo on 2 when this is played live - possibly Drop D??<{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually, yeah, i think that's exactly right, capo on 2, dropped D; i couldn't remember if he did or not when i was typing this up, but he does. so, i think for the rock part he would play the chords barred on the top 3 strings, so |-----||-----||-9---||-9---||-7---||-----| would become |-------||-------||-------||-14---||-14---||-14---| and so forth. he might play all the chords like this, or a combination of a-string and e-string based chords; i think nels plays the chords in a standard tuning, although i could be wrong about that as well. thanks for the tip bweil Edited February 3, 2005 by gryfyrg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
