------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL KIND OF STRAIN - Autolux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: itsonlycapital Email: itsonlycapital@gmail.com Tuning: Half step down The whole song is mainly a single guitar riff backed by Carla's awesome echoing drums. The bass (if you're curious) doesn't even come in until over two-thirds into the song and adds noise and feedback with an Ab note bending up to and down from an A note. This is the main guitar part. It's not much work for your fretting hand, but it can help if you're just learning alternate picking. Let all the notes ring here. e e e e e e e e q q q q D#|--------------------------|----------------------| A#|--------------------------|----------------------| F#|-----------------9--------|----------------------| C#|-----------7-----------7--|----------------------| G#|-----0--------------------|----------------------| D#|--8-----8-----8-----8-----|--8----8----10----10--| Greg will sometimes change the ending on that riff with q q q q q q q q D#|--------------------| |--------------------| A#|--------------------| |--------------------| F#|--------------------| -or- |--------------------| C#|--------------------| |--------------------| G#|------------9----9--| |--------------------| D#|--8----8------------| |--8----8----9----9--| Just before the three minute mark Greg tosses in this piece: e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e D#|--------------------------|------------------------------| A#|--------------------------|------------------------------| F#|-----------------9--------|-------------6-------------4--| C#|-----------7-----------7--|------------------------------| G#|-----0--------------------|----------0-------------0-----| D#|--8-----8-----8-----8-----|--8\5--5--------5\3--3--------| After that, at about 3:21, during the fadeout before the noisefest Greg just plays a number of bars of quarter B notes on the D# string. Those disappear in a haze of effects and at 3:49 the noise begins and you're back to playing the main riff again until the end. That's it. Just listen to the song to find out where the change-ups fit in and you've got it. Not too bad.
