Tips for playing
- In Chorus A ("You'll listen to reason"), starting with bar 42, Claudio's surprisingly not palm muting a power chord, unlike the rest of the chords - it's a D/F# with a really specific fingering. (If you don't believe me, check out this live video https://youtu.be/M7tSCe31_IU?si=xXFGXbrhUmBJpBa9&t=111 and see for yourself - it's clear as day.). It's borderline impossible to tell from listening to even the isolated guitar tracks from the album thanks to the ridiculously fuzzy distortion going on in this song, but it is there. I honestly wouldn't blame you for just doing a standard power chord here instead, because it's almost impossible to hear anyway. I think the best explanation for why sometimes a random 3+ string chord will pop up in a heavy electric guitar part on this record is that Claudio wrote all these songs on an acoustic guitar back in the day, where this kind of chord choice would be waaaay less out there.
- He also plays the following G5 power chord with the added octave, which he almost never does in his playing. He also doesn't add the octave for any of the other power chords so... wat
- Claudio's playing a full-on inverted triad during the last bar of the turnaround in Bridge 2 ("On the wrong way out") (e.g. bar 119) - also weird, but this one was much easier to hear on the recording, and see in live clips.
- In Chorus B – the Outro, Claudio is mostly playing straight 8th notes, just displacing the downbeat an 8th note early. This is pretty weird because he always plays these as anticipations live, but on the album he mostly doesn't. Go figure. I say follow your heart on this one.
- The fingerings I've seen in other tabs for Travis's lead guitar part during Chorus B - Outro are alllll wrong. What I have in this tab is what he plays, confirmed from live videos and the isolated guitar tracks. Travis tends to do a lot of "hold down a chord shape while palm muting the lowest notes, and arpeggiate it" and "hold down a chord shape and let it all ring" in his playing, and that's mostly what he's doing here. His go-to chord shapes seem to almost always have the 2nd or 3rd finger fretting the lowest string (kind of like an open C chord, but moved up the neck).
- Travis doesn't play the lead guitar part in Chorus A the same way each time - he changes it up slightly.
Have fun and let me know how it goes!
