From: Brandon Milner Subject: New TAB for "goodbye" MUCH better What the heck was I thinking!!!??? I was just fiddling around with the song "Goodbye" and I came upon a revelation... The song is in open E tuning! It makes the song SO much easier to play and would be responsible for why David's hands looked like they were barely touching the neck when he played it live. It also makes all the little "fills" fall into place. I haven't worked out all the details yet but this is a whole lot closer than the last version. TUNING (low to high) E B E G# B E That's an E major chord So the intro lead is now... E --------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------- G#----------------------0---------------- E ----------------10-12------------------ B --------10--12------------------------- E --O-12~----------------------(repeats)- When it comes in with the strum part it is now unbelievably simple -0---0---0---0-0---------- -0---0---0---0-0------0--- -0---0---0---0-0-----0--0- -5---7---0---0-0---02----- -5---7---0---0-2-02------- -5---7---0---0-0---------- The verses are exactly the same but without the top 2 strings ringing (the E and B). -------------------------- Oh you... and it's good bye... ----------------------0--- -0---0---0---0-0-----0--0- -5---7---0---0-0---02----- -5---7---0---0-2-02------- -5---7---0---0-0---------- Then there is this little arrpegiated part each dash is a 16th note so the rhythms are right too. -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- X2 -5-----5-----5---4-----4-----4-------- ----5-----5----5----5-----5----5------ -------------------------------------- ---------------------0-----0---------- -------------------0----0------0------ ----0-----0----0---------------------- -5-----5-----5---45----5--5----------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Over this little arrpegio is a 2nd guitar playing: -9-------7-------5------------------- There is one note per measure. -----9-------5----------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- The solo at the end is fairly easy too: |00-00-00-00-000-|00-00-00-00-000-| |45-55-55-55-555-|45-55-55-55-555-| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |00-00-0-0-0--0--|00-00-00-0--0---| |45-55-/12-12-12-|45-55-55-10-9---| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| *to 12th fret *to 10th fret |00-00-00-00-000-|00-00-00-00--0-0| |45-55-55-55-555-|45-55-55-59--9-9| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |00-00-00-00--0--0-|00-00-00-00-000-| |45-55-55-512-12-12|45-55-55-55-555-| |------------------|----------------| |------------------|----------------| |------------------|----------------| |------------------|----------------| |------------------|----------------| * slide to 12th fret A few more repeats of the above and then slight improv around: |00-00-00-00-0-0-|00-00-00-00-0-0-| |45-55-44-44-2-2-|45-55-44-44-2-2-| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------| Occassionally he lets the open B and E strings ring at the end of the phrase. The law of diminishing TAB kicks in here. Just use your ears, this should get you close enough. Enjoy and let me know if you need something that I missed (like I know I didn't notate the 2nd guitar part in a few places) ---------------------------------- Author: Andy Marshall Sent: Friday, June
