(: tribute to johnny. cool song. based on some blues mode...around the D and E blues scales. i got a little help from a friend on the irc on this one (thanks slunkfuck). the first four bars (2/2 time sign.) are the "main riff" through out the instrumental, submerged benath the lead guitar most of the time. e b g d 5~~ a 7 5 7 5 5 5 7 e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 5 5 7 7 p.m...................................| then the little lead riffs....(2nd thru 5th times) e 12~~~ b g 12 12 14_12 d 12 12 14 14 a 14 14 e then... e b 12b(12) g 12 11 9 d 12 9~~~\ a e then... e 12~~~ b g 12 12 14_12 d 12 12 14 14 a 14 14 e then... e 12 12 10 10 b 12 12 10 10 g 12 14b(grad1/2step) d a e okay...james and billy go into crazy solo both times this riff is played...so the next two sections i only have the rhythm riffs...then that will be the whole song. here goes... "the B part" e b g d 3~~ 3~~ a 5 3 5~~ 3~~3~~ 5 3 5~~ e 3 4 5 5 3 5 3 4 5 5 4 3 1~~~ that repeats a while and resolves on a 5~~~ on the a string.... the bass solo... is like this....(thanks slunkfuck..but i still think d'arcy plays it!!!!!) g d 5 6 7 7 5 a 5 6 7 5 6 7 7 5 e 5 6 7 popped, slapped, and tied... okay the guityar parts are in the same pattern as the bass.... it is extremely heavily overdubbed and hard to pick out the notes and get together and stuff...so if you disagree, don't be too pissed...just respond to me and tell me what you think i did wrong. guitar 1 ---> starts same place as bass...5th fret e string guitar 2 ---> starts 4th fret a string guitar 3 ---> starts 10th fret a string guitar 4 ---> starts 12th fret a string guitar 5 plays a solo... the four layered guitars (i believe with confidence..:P) make up a moving 7th chord rooted at the A7 ( A, C#, E, G, A ). hopefully it is at least close. the ending is just like the "main riff" at the beginning...both guitars ending on e's only octaves apart. thanks. pres@hyper.shadow.net did you know that the original idea for "tribute to johnny" was for billy to let out big, screaming "YEAH!!!!" 's in the middle of the song...i read this artical (guitar world's alternative guitar vol. 2 i think soundgarden's on the cover) and then i hear the song...and i am like....ohh kay....whatever...why the hell they change it...i dunno...
