  • The tuning is a little weird kind of in between F A# D# G# and F# B E A
    You have to tune around 3/4 of a step up
    A4 = 432 Hz
    Also I messed up right in the end so the last note was edited in afterwards

    Great tab. I just started trying to transcribe this one myself, but you've pretty much nailed it. I like that you captured the ringed notes that Rourke seems to do.

    • @grenkak1527
      @grenkak1527  Рік тому

      Thanks, the isolated track helped a lot with the ringed notes, otherwise it would have been really hard to transcribe. Glad you liked it

    Also, capo on 2nd fret does work but only if the standard EADG tuning is at A432 not A440, hope that’s helpful for anyone who doesn’t wanna tear their fingers apart with super tight strings (I don’t use a pick) 😂

      There are tuners online in which you can change the frecuency, you should tune it to A4 = 432 for this song. Like gutlax said you can use Fender Tune or Soundcorset, those are the ones I use.

    • @grenkak1527
      @grenkak1527  8 місяців тому

      I think it depends on your skill with each form of playing, but some of the ringing notes are better done with a pick

    • @grenkak1527
      @grenkak1527  Рік тому +1

      I listened to the bass track of the song and transcribed based on what I heard and the way Andy Rourke played live, so the tabs are the closest I could get to the way the song was played in the studio. That said, I cannot promise that there aren't some little mistakes here and there.
