Wilco - Pot Kettle Black, I am Trying to Break Your Heart version

 

Tuning: DADF#AD

Some have it as DADAAD, but its impossible to play the notes in the outro chords without the F#; if you watch in the video, you'll see his fingers in shapes that wouldn't be necessary in a D5 tuning, where a simple barre would do, but are necessary in order to play/avoid the F# string.

 

Feedback guitar over intro (in stndrd. tuning) - Bend the 5th fret of the B-string and pull off to the 3rd fret, with feedback

 

Main Riff*

*Use your pinky to play the 9, slide up with it to 10, then back down to 9 - it's the Official Jeff Tweedy Method! (OJTM)

Good job and listening to it again I think you're probably right on the DADF#AD. One small correction on the Outro:

 

I think he's playing:

 

|-------------------------------------------------------------|

|-12------4------5-------------12------4------5-----------|

|-12------4------5-------6------12------4------5------6---|

|--0------0------0--------0-------0------0------0------0---|

|-----------------5-------5-----------------------5------5---|

|-12------4------5--------------12------4------5-----------|

 

or maybe even x546xx on that fourth chord...
