.During the chorus, use a heavy tremolo on Gt II, and something similar on Gt I. Use a bridgey pickup to get the right tone. The
guitar indicated by the rhythm slash joins the middle staff for the second half of the chorus.
Guitar III: If you can't fin
d a Cor Anglais, a clarinet does beautifully. Just make sure you offset for them appropriately (reading 7 sharps and a lot of l
edger lines is tricky). During the latter part (outro), Gtr III indicates the french horn line. French horns and English horn
s have nothing to do with each other, they just conveniently don't play simultaneously in this song.
Some of the lines have
crossover elements from the guitar overdubs. There are only so many instruments at powertab's disposal to indicate the many man
y overdubs! In some spots, this has been indicated with Hi/lo melody indicators and ghost noting - make of it what you will.
Likewise, some of the string lines might be a little difficult to play - inhuman stretches. There are spots where a snap-ca
po can be applied to make the task a little easier (!), if you are dead set on replicating every nuance of the recording as ind
icated here.
The strings in this tab are really more of a direct transcription than a guitar arrangement. I suppose the sa
me goes for several of the other parts. Make of the intricacies of this song what you will - if you are making efforts to perf
orm or record this song with more than, say, about seven musicians/parts, I'd appreciate a line to neomorphy@hotmail.com, so th
at I can hear what you're doing with the arrangements! (I have a SATB+solo vocal arrangement I'd be happy to send out)The Live
intro [A] is a rendition of the piano introduction used live, instead of the intro used on the CD.
For covering, choose ei
ther [A] or [B], and move directly to [C].
For the CD intro, I believe the sound is created by the bass output being split i
nto two - one accoustic with toppy EQ (and plenty of reverb + room, one directish with bottommy EQ. Played with a pick.
Th
e Piano line indicates both the accousticcy piano sounds (played by Aaron Seeman on the CD) and the electric piano sounds, as w
ell as the "vinyl sample" of the roll to a high F#.
The EEG/ heart monitor noise indicated here on the bass line and on Gtr
III can be played with a synth as a squareish wave at about 310 Hz - just a little sharp of a G. Live, I've found that a clarin
et for the Gtr III line does a good job. A sample the CD would also work for anyone with sampletech.
Big props to neomorphy@hotmail.com for providing the source material, it was more or less only missing drums and sported some timing errors. Sadly it was too much work to take it out of 4/4 so this is poorly notated(since it's obviously in 3/4) but it is aboslutely accurate(except the EEG which I got as close as I could) and structured to be exported as a MIDI file and used with a DAW.
