My Only Swerving


My Only Swerving tab First amazing song of their first self titled album, "El Ten Eleven." Any questions email me @ ContraryFlunky17@yahoo.com. I'll just list the separate loops and effects that he uses. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note Double neck tuning: Guitar-EADAG#Bd# Bass-EADA First Loop, no effects. A|----17----17----17-17----17----17--17----17----17--17----17-----| D|------16----16-------16----16--------16----16--------16---------| A|------------------0--------------14~----------------------------| E|---0---------------------------------------------14~------------| This next loop he uses a Digitech XP-100 Whammy-Wah pedal to go Up a 5th and tilting the pedal down will make it go up an Octave,while still holding the original note sound, if that makes sense, hah. The up and down is which way to tilt the pedal. Timings tricky. A|---19(DOWN-UP)---16(UP-DOWN)---18(HOLD DOWN)---14(UP-DOWN)------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| In the live version Kristian plays the guitar loop instead of playing the bass line first.
