------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Closer - Kings Of Leon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tom Hopper (thellamaking) Email: tom-hopper@hotmail.co.uk Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) First song off of KoL's new album Only By The Night! Main (With Whammy and Delay) * * * e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------12----------------15---------------14-----------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9---------------12---------------11---------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The notes with the * on top are what you'd play if you don't have a whammy, otherwise play the same note before that but use the octave up function on the Whammy. Distorted lick #1 (mostly in the background) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| this lick is used in some of the 'Chorus' parts ("And it's calling me closer") Uses a of reverb/delay to make it sound more ambient. Distorted Lick #1 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------12---------12---------15----------15----------14----------14--------| G|----11----11---11---11----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14-----| D|--9----------9----------12----------12----------11----------11-------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Again used on some of the "And it's Calling me Closer" sections. Again with a fair use reverb. When the song picks up a bit there's a distorted section of just the main chords of B, D A with the 'Main' lick playing under it. Cheers!
