------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUILTY CUBICLES - Broken Social Scene ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: A.J. Conner Email: ajconner123@gmail.com Tuning: If you have a tuner that you can re-calibrate the HZ, calibrate it to 430 HZ (just a little bit flat from standard). If your tuner doesn't do this, just listen and you'll notice the guitars are all tuned a little flat. It's worth tuning to them. I guess it's a quarter-step down? This song is an instrumental; a swirling arrangement of many guitars playing a fantastic melody, and I tabbed out all the parts I could hear. The times that each guitar enters are noted. I also noted the times the one guitar plays each of it's segments, because there are random pauses after each time it plays. Enjoy :) I like to use a decent amount of reverb and subtle delay. Guitar One - Main Riff, played for duration of the song. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2--------------------------| G|----4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4--------------------------| D|----4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4--------------------------| A|--------0-----4-----4-----2-----2------------------------------------------| E|--4-----------------------------------0-----0------------------------------| Guitar Two - Plays throughout.

Remember, all the other guitars are just playing their parts behind this. It's all very subtle, yet sounds incredible. 1:09 1:23 1:30 e|--------------------------|-----------------------|----0---0---------------| B|-------0-0-------------0--|-------0-0-------------|------7-----------------| G|--6-6---------------------|--6-6------------------|--6-------6-------------| D|-----------6-6----4-6-----|--------------6-6--4-4-|------------------------| A|--------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------| E|--------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------| 1:37 1:42 1:50 |--play again at 1:58--| e|----0---0----|-----------------0----|----------------0---0-----------------| B|------0------|-------------0-7------|------------------7-------------------| G|--6-------6--|-------------------6--|--6-6--4-4----6-------6---------------| D|-------------|--6-6---4-6-----------|--------------------------------------| A|-------------|----------------------|--------------------------------------| E|-------------|----------------------|--------------------------------------| At 2:00, Guitar Three changes it up to: Then Guitar One rests shortly, while this riff is played.
