------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELLA - WOMEN OF THE 90'S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: NOLAN SULLIVAN Email: ittheverb@yahoo.com Tuning: DGDGBe (LOW TO HIGH) I dont think Spencer uses this tuning, but this how i figured it out. I feel this is a fairly accurate transposure. There aren't too many Hella tabs around and I've been jamming on this song for a while now so i figured i put it up for all to play. Hella is a rediculous band, Spencer Seim is an otherworldly axeman, and Zach Hill... well we won't go there today. Spencer uses unconventional tunings for just about every piece, and the guitar he uses doesn't help the tab process. This is my interpretation of his work, not exactly what he plays. This version could be either from The Devil Isn't Red cut, or the Acoustic EP I first learned this from the Acoustic on an Acoustic fyi... so here we go INTRO consists of 2 riffs A and B e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------8^---------------------10^------------10^-----------------------------| G|---xx-0-----------7^----------0----------9^-----0--------------9^-----last time B ends with| D|---xx-0----5------------------0---7-------------0---7--------------------------------------| A|---xx-0--7---77-5~------------0-8---88-7~-------0-8---88-7~----------------7/--------------| E|A-----------------------x2--B----------0~----------------0~-------x2-----------------------| Riff e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------ends-like-----------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------4---------------------| D|---------------h5-----h5--------------------55555555--x---------------------| A|---3/12-0--0h3----0h3----3/12-0-------------44444444--0---------------------| E|--------------------------------xa-couple-----------------------------------| for the Hammer Ons ^^^. pretty much tremelo pick the A and D strings, with your hands clicking those notes and also hitting the opens.
