sugar will

[seth_southerland]

has anyone else noticed that during the interlude(sometimes) and during the jam also(sometimes) that he plays the same chords and notes, but in a different pattern? and just for reference the version i am listening to is the version of the song from july 2nd, and distinctly(or i am quite mad) hear dave playing it differently during i think only one of the interludes, and then during the jam during leroi's solo

[AdWolF16]

yeah i noticed that after i tabbed it too, but i didn't bother to add anything to my tab cuz it doesn't sound too hard to figure out (given that it's all just around that Am thing)

[seth_southerland]

i didnt think it would be hard for me to figure it out, but i guess i just dont have the ear for it yet, so if you could tab it out for me, that would be mighty awesome of ya

[AdWolF16]

no prob

actually, i didn't realize how incredibly cool this part is till just now.. i don't even know how he came up with the idea for it.. what dave does is plays the Am thing in the 7/8 pattern, while carter stays in 4/4 (:shock:).. so dave plays 4 measures of 7/8 (aka, 28 8th notes) while carter plays 4 measures of 4/4 (aka, 32 8th notes), so dave ends up being short 4 8th notes (or 2 beats).. so he plays the last 2 beats of the pattern again, and then goes on to the verse... it's reaaaaaaally confusing if you aren't good with counting out 7/8, so be careful..

here's what dave plays, written out in 4/4:

Code: Select all

e-----------------|-----------------|
b-----------------|-----------------|
g-5---9---5-9---5-|---9---5-9---5---|
d-7-9-7-9-7-7-9-7-|-9-7-9-7-7-9-7-9-|
a-----------------|-----------------|
E-----------------|-----------------|

e-----------------|-----------------|
b-----------------|-----------------|
g-9---5-9---5---9-|---5-9---5---9---|
d-7-9-7-7-9-7-9-7-|-9-7-7-9-7-9-7-9-|
a-----------------|-----------------|
E-----------------|-----------------|

counting it out in your head in 4/4 is way tough though, and pretty much pointless cuz you'll get tripped up.. if you count it out as 4 measures in 7/8 + 1 measure of 2/4, though, it's essentially the same thing repeated over and over..

Code: Select all

e---------------|---------------|
b---------------|---------------|
g-5---9---5-9---|-5---9---5-9---|
d-7-9-7-9-7-7-9-|-7-9-7-9-7-7-9-|
a---------------|---------------|
E---------------|---------------|

e---------------|---------------|---------|
b---------------|---------------|---------|
g-5---9---5-9---|-5---9---5-9---|-5-9---5-|
d-7-9-7-9-7-7-9-|-7-9-7-9-7-7-9-|-7-7-9-7-|
a---------------|---------------|---------|
E---------------|---------------|---------|

you really need to get back into that 7/8 mindset that you use in the chorus for this part, and just try to ignore that carter is in a different time sig

..wow

[seth_southerland]

sweet!
hey it would be a good idea if you posted this response in that stickied topic with the four new song tabs in it, i bet lots of people are going to want to know how to play this, thanks a lot for doing it

[onid41]

sugar will tab is already in that thread, and you shoulda done a search before you posted a new thread

buuut i didn't tab out this part till just now 8)

[seth_southerland]

yeah authority person, pay attention and besides that a new topic is more likely to get a sooner response than that old thread

[MattyTrane]

heh...the flecktones play in 4 different time signatures a lot : /

[onid41]

btw, i hate this song with a passion

[MattyTrane]

its the worst of the 4, but they other 3 are very good

here's what dave plays, written out in 4/4:

Gotta question for you ... is your tab based on seeing it played live? Or are you going by ear only?

[seth_southerland]

the tab is right, dont worry about that

well i know that the rest of the tab is right.. and though i haven't seen/didn't pay attention to this specific part, i highly doubt he jumps to any different frets or strings for this part (since it's almost exactly the same as a few different sections in the song)
