-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ANACRUSIS PAINT A PICTURE From their impressive '91 album "Manic Impressions" Tabbed by: Jason Mathie Mathie@angelfire.com I'm not sure about the tuning on this song, it seems like it could be more easily played with straight-E tuning, but I'll use the B tuning anyhow. It's easy enough anyways. Comments: Anacrusis play six-string guitars, tuned as the low strings on a seven string guitar. So, from 6th string to 1st string: B, E, A, D, G, B. Generally one dash is a 16th note or a 32nd note in length, so either ---- or -------- is one beat. Notation: |--------| |-4:--6:-| Time signature changes. 6/4 has 6 beats to a measure. |-4:--4:-| |--------| |-------|-------||- |*------|------*||- Repeat the section. Play twice unless |*------|------*||- otherwise noted. |-------|-------||- |-------| |-/=3=\-| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would play 2 normally. |-2-2-2-| |-0-0-0-| -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Riff A1 /== play 3x ======\ B|--------------------||---------------------------| G|--------------------||---------------------------| D|*-4:---------------*||6:-------5---------5-------| A|*-4:----8-------8--*||4:---5-6---6-5-----3-------| E|------7-------7-----||---4-----------4-0-3-------| B|----6-------6-------||---------------------------| PM . . . . . . . . . . .
