Hobbayne Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Has anybody played this? My band want to cover it, but I cant seem to grasp it by ear, and dont want to cheat by looking at tabs (Which will prob be wrong anyway) Any tips welcome. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Do they tune down to E flat.?That may hinder parts of the tune! Quote
Myke Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Such a tune! Sorry can't help out though... Quote
mep Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) It's full on and detuned to Eb. I have an excellent transcription with tab from a guitar mag I can scan for you. Don't look at the tab sites. It will take you some effort to learn by ear. Edited February 20, 2014 by mep Quote
Hobbayne Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Cheers mep, that would be great! Quote
xgsjx Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I've got the score for the full album somewhere, but I think it might just be the guitar parts. I'll let you know if I find it. Quote
toneknob Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yep, def tuned down to Eb. The aforementioned transcription from one of the American Guitar mags is excellent, so try to get hold of that. Quote
steve-bbb Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) quite a lot of extreme stuff is down a notch to E flat go for broke and do cupid's dead Edited February 21, 2014 by steve-bbb Quote
sykilz Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Same here, tried by memory to play it, but on the album version it's down half a step. You can play it off the regular E but to me it doesn't sound quite right to me,maybe it would if the whole band played it ? Sorry, not much help. Quote
Dood Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 The bass line is split up in to some fairly straight forward grooves which are really fun to play. There's a good transcription over at MySongBook (Guitar Pro 6) if I recall correctly. Oh and tabs aren't cheating no more than using a thesaurus or dictionary. You only have to ensure that the author has got it right to begin with! Speaking of GP6, I'd highly recommend it for learning tricky bass lines as you can slow down and repeat difficult sections at your leisure, then mute out the whole of the bass part to play along with the other (albeit electronic sounding) instruments.

peteb Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) You may wish to show your guitar player the following YouTube clip, where a seemingly slightly drunk Nuno goes through the main guitar parts and solo – showing you how to pay them properly! You might find it useful for some of the unison runs as well. Probably not the easiest song in the world to cover…! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU5PCcrjmAk There are also clips of him running thru other songs of the Pornograffitti album. Really shows you what a great guitar player he is… Edited February 27, 2014 by peteb Quote
Mog Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Badger is such an under rated bassist. Always full of grooves. I've always found the easiest way to get his lines down are to break the down into component parts. With GTFO its a fairly basic groove based around C (B if we're being pedantic). You can get away with the same riff for most of the verse. It pays to ad lib the choruses just to keep it interesting. The only really tricky part is about 60 bars in. There's some nifty slide passages before the solo kicks in. Quote
Conan Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I always thought this track would be pretty straightforward to play... until I played it with a previous covers band! Harder than it sounds - and definitely good for the stamina! It's not [i][b]too[/b][/i] hard to play, but it is hard to play [b]well[/b] (IMO). Quote
bluesparky Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I think I MAY have the bass score for it somewhere (I'm a massive extreme fan). If you still want the dots for it, let me know, Cheers. Quote
krispn Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I understand they are touring Porno later this year Quote

I've been waiting 6 years for them to come back and sadly I'll be out on tour myself when they do the UK. Gutted! Quote
