Positive Tension - Bloc Party

Tabbed By :cosmicsoul07
e-mail:emperorconstantine2@hotmail.com
Tuning:EADG
This song was pretty easy to tab by ear, and not very difficult to play.
This is the main riff that plays throughout most of the song
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--3--3------1--3--1--3-----------------3--1--3--------------------------------|
E|--------3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Just as a note, for guitar, when Gordon sings "run-run-run", these are the power chords played:
e|------------|------------|
B|------------|------------|
G|------------|------------|
D|----6-------|-----3------|
A|----6-------|-----3------|
E|----4-------|-----1------|
Around 2:34 the bass stops for a bit. Then it restarts:
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----3-3-3--------------------------------5-5-5-5-----------------------------|
E|------------3-3-3-----4-4-4----1-1-1-1----------------------------------------|
Then on the Solo:
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-3-3-3----------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-----------------------|
E|----------3-3-3-3--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3----1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1----------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------|
E|---3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1------------------------------------------------|
And that's it. Just do the intro riff 4 times at the end and you're done!
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note

It's wrong in the main riff dude!
It is:
A|-3-3-1-3-1-3----1-3-1|
E|----3----------------|
Though i dont play the three on the E string beacuse it sounds better without!
ye he's rite bout not really needing the 3 on the E but tht isnt a moan cos its kwl : )
From what i've seen of this live, i think Gordy plays the main riff on the E string. Same notes though, well done :)
