J Mascis and The Fog - Set Us Free From the album 'Free So Free' (2002) Standard tuning, capo on 9th fret --- This tab is based on what I could see from a video of it being played live/some fancy sound-slowing software/oldschool listening for notes, so it's got to be fairly accurate. Due to the way the guitar parts seem to have been recorded with like 2-3 overdubs and/or certain effects, i've changed the tab so it's more like how it's played live (with one guitar). That way the switches between the rhythm and the lead parts/small fills won't seem so painfully obvious when you're playing along. Warning: badass riffs ahead in verse/bridge. --- ==intro/chorus E|--------------------------------3---0-----------| B|--0~----0h1p0-----0-----0~------0---3---3-------| G|--0~----------0h2---0---0~------0---0---2b-r-0--| x2 D|--0~--------------------2~------2---2-----------| A|--2~--------------------3~----------------------| E|--3~--------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------3--0---------| B|--0--------0-1-0-----0----0---0-0---0--3--3------| G|--0---0-0--------0h2---0--0---0-0---0--0--2b-r-0-| D|--0---0-0-----------------2---2-2----------------| A|--2---2-2-----------------3---3-3----------------| E|--3---3-3----------------------------------------| ==verse E|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3--3--3---1--1--1-1---3--0--3/5--0--3p0-| G|-0----------0---2--2--2--2-0-0--0--0-0---0--0--------------| D|-2--2-------2-0-0--0--0--0-0-2--2--2-2---2-----------------| A|-2--2--2-2--2-0-0--0--0--0---3--3--3-3---3-----------------| E|-0--0--0-0--0----------------------------------------------| ( PM ) E|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3--3--3---1--1--1-1------------3--------| G|-0----------0---2--2--2--2-0-0--0--0-0--2h4-2-0---2b-2-0---| D|-2--2-------2-0-0--0--0--0-0-2--2--2-2----------2--------2-| A|-2--2--2-2--2-0-0--0--0--0---3--3--3-3---------------------| E|-0--0--0-0--0----------------------------------------------| ( PM ) E|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3--3--3---1--1--1-1---3--0--3/5--0--3p0-| G|-0----------0---2--2--2--2-0-0--0--0-0---0--0--------------| (yeah, same as first line) D|-2--2-------2-0-0--0--0--0-0-2--2--2-2---2-----------------| A|-2--2--2-2--2-0-0--0--0--0---3--3--3-3---------------------| E|-0--0--0-0--0----------------------------------------------| ( PM ) E|----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3--3--3---1--1--1-1---1--1-1--1-1-1-1--| G|-0----------0---2--2--2--2-0-0--0--0-0---0--0-0--0-0-0-0--| D|-2--2-------2-0-0--0--0--0-0-2--2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2-2-2--| A|-2--2--2-2--2-0-0--0--0--0---3--3--3-3---3--3-3--3-3-3-3--| E|-0--0--0-0--0---------------------------------------------| ( PM ) ==bridge | on a side note, the bass parts in this bit are really cool, J's bass parts are | really underrated. even under the solo he's doing all these neat fills.
