Depeche Mode: Dream On The Cheap And Easy Approach I've seen the Paris DVD and yes, it does seem Mart plays with a guitar in flat tuning. But isn't it a pain in the ass to do flat tuning? I sure think so! So I came up with the Cheap And Easy Apprach... not only easier to tune, but easy to play too! Here goes: Tuning: Drop D Capo 1 (tab relative to the capo) Main Riff: e|----------------- B|----------------- G|----------------- D|-----3-0---0---0- A|---0-----3------- D|-0-----------3-0- Alternate Riff e|----------------------------- B|----------------------------- G|----------------------------- D|-----5-----5-------5-----5--- A|---5-----5---5---5-----5---5- D|-5-----5-------8-----8------- or, if you're amazingly cheap, you can do this: e|----------------------------- B|----------------------------- G|-----0-----0-------0-----0--- D|---0-----0---0---0-----0---0- A|----------------------------- D|-5-----5-------8-----8------- And so the bridge part would go like this: e|----------- B|----------- G|----------- D|-------0-3- A|---0-3----- D|-5--------- Isn't that easy? Here's the format: On each line of the verse play this: Main Riff x 3 + Alternate Riff On the chorus, play this twice: Alternate Riff + Main Riff x 2 Bridge: Listen to it, there's alot of those. For the 2nd guitar in the bridge, who knows? Play with a slide on the first two strings is my advice. To end, I suggest alternating the main riff like this: e|----------------- B|----------------- G|----------------- D|-----3-0---0-3-0- A|---0-----3------- D|-0-------------0- Go forth, you lazy ones, and play!
