Notes:
Use your ears! There's a lot going on that's hard to tab out, especially in the solo.
On the pre-chorus, you can probably get away with just strumming a D.
For the chorus bar chords sound nice on an acoustic, power chords sound
better on electrics.
For the vibrato on 10 in the solo, he releases to slightly above the 8th fret
(approximately a quarter tone above) 3 times if you want to be super specific about it.
The chord changes for the solo are as follows:
|D G | D/F# A |D G | D/F# A |D G |Bm A/C# |D Bm |Em A |G | G D/F# G D|
(not entirely sure of the last G, possibly Em)
with | | representing 1 measure. The A in the 4th bar is pushed an eighth note.
Additional Notes by Oliver K. Reichl:
There are at least five "guitars" in this tune. The electric is
definitely some sort of Les Paul (of vintage stock with Scholzian
modifications, no doubt).
Guitar #1: 12-string acoustic
Guitar #2: 6-string electric (rhythm, power chords)
Guitar #3: 6-string electric (leads-melody)
