Birds of a Feather (Phish)
Transcribed by Mike Warrington - festeezio@yahoo.com
Authors Notes:
-To play this exact, I think you need a 5-string.
-I figured this out from the studio version on "Ghost", live versions vary greatly
-The phrasing varies throughout the song, but I see this as a good blueprint to work off of
-A "P" indicates a popped note
-A ( ) indicatea ghost note (a muted or implied note)
(No Bass during Intro hits)
Opening Groove - Play 4x

Choruses
Basically the same as the verses, but he stops
the slap feel sometimes, note the alterations with the C#

Bridge #1
This part rolls on G octaves, with little nuances and ad-libs
Here is one way to interpret it.
Etc.=>
G---------(0)------(0)-------------------(0)-
D---5---5--------5-------------5------17-----
A--------------------------------------------
E-3---3------3-3-------3-(3)-3---3>15--------

Guitar Solo - 8x
The intro groove is played throughout

Outro / Bridge #2
First 4x mirrors the 1st bridge (sort of), then he throws in some typical weirdness!
I fool around with the octaves and the open G string just to spice it up
G---------(0)------(0)-------------------(0)-
D---5---5--------5-------------5------17-----
A--------------------------------------------
E-3---3------3-3-------3-(3)-3---3>15--------

Then he adds this little alteration

Well, that's what I got, any comments or corrections are welcome. Enjoy!
