TWO DOVES - Dirty Projectors - from BITTE ORCA
Tabbed by: Kris Ellestad
Date: August 14th, 2009
Updated: August 18th, 2009
This is a fairly simple song that requires basic fingerpicking
technique, i.e. thumb and forefinger, however independence of
each finger on the right hand makes it more fluid.
I've nearly written out the entire song note-for-note, though
it's really the same material repeated with slight variations.
When in doubt, refer back to the recording!
Standard tuning
Capo on 6th fret

How to play
"Two Doves"

Notice how there are 7 notes in the first measure? The first note of the beginning (C chord) is weighted longer than the rest of the notes in the measure. So if you divide the measure into 8th notes it'll be like :
3rd fret (on A) = 2 beats
2nd fret (on D) = 1 beat
0pen (on G) = 1 beat
3rd fret (on E) = 1 beat
1st fret (on B) = 1 beat
2nd fret (on D) = 1 beat
0pen (on G) = 1 beat
This is not at all how you SHOULD count this song, since it's most likely 2/4, but I broke it down to the shortest beat count so you could see how the 7 notes add up to 8 beats.
Whenever you look at tabs always listen to the song, and see if the song is in 4/4 time, or X/4 time. This song sounds like 2/4 time to me. Then count how many actual notes you need to play in the measure. If there are 8 of them evenly spaced out, then each one is an 8th note. A very weird way of approaching how to learn music, but these ARE tabs, and not sheet music with clear rhythmic marking.
Attention: the only tricky part of this tab is the:
|-----------0-------|
|---------------3-1-|
|---5---------5-----|
|-------3-----------|
|-----5-------------|
|-5-------5---------|
It's tricky because if you listen to the song he does not do 100% what's in the tab. He's doing a slight ritard at the end there. It's not:
|---------------(8th)-------------|
|-------------------(16th)-(16th)-|
|---(8th)---------(8th)-----------|
|-------(8th)---------------------|
|-----(8th)-----------------------|
|-(8th)------(8th)----------------|
It's more like:
|---------------(8th and a bit)------------------|
|----------------------------------(16th)-(16th)-|
|---(8th)--------------(8th and a bit)-----------|
|-------(8th)------------------------------------|
|-----(8th)--------------------------------------|
|-(8th)------(8th)-------------------------------|
Also, why did I write an essay? Because I love this song and tab. Thanks Kris!

wow great tab! can't stop playing that song now. And about the tricky part, I think he plays something just slightly different from the tab:
[tab]e||-----------0-------|
B||---------------3-1-|
G||---5---------5--5--| <--there
D||-------3-----------|
A||-----5-------------|
E||-5-------5---------|[/tab]
if you add this note (play the c on the g string a second time) the timing isn't quite as difficult. Just play those 4 notes at the end in quick succession with your thumb and forefinger. when you listen to the album recording it sounds to me like he's doing that.

Measure 4 and the other measures like it are a bit wrong. He is spelling out Am7 Dm7 in the music, and sometimes just Dm7, but this is not seen here in the tab. I haven't picked out each note individually from the recording but the harmony is not right.
