You Only Live Twice-Chorus

Featured Replies

Here's a quick one, I have most of the song sorted out, the only thing I'm unsure about is Jonny' FX heavy tremolo picking bit during the chorus. There's tons of flange and stuff going on and I can't quite make out the notes. Most of it is played on the higher frets of the D and B string so I can't quite see the frets he's holding either.

 

Here's them playing it at Belfort...

and glastonbury...

any help is appreciated :D.

Sounds like a B at the very first in the chorus..

 

e|-7-

B|-7-

G|-8-

D|-9-

A|-x-

E|-x-

 

And after that some basic notes with others I can find out for now:

 

e|----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

B|----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

G|----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

D|9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--|12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--|

A|----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

E|----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

 

Could be played higher on the other string..

^ that's pretty much right, remember it's hammer-on's and pull-off's throughout.

 

and at the end of the riff...

e--2--0--2-------

B----------------0

 

during the verses he plays the riff softly starting from the 3rd measure (7th fret) and keeps going with...

e--3-2h3p2--0h2p0------------0---2--

b------------------------------4----------

 

(again my tabs are shit, see song for rythm and timing)

 

after that Jonny then mimics the rythm,

first time: em, f#,em, F#.

second time: em, F#, em, B.

 

We've tabbed out the tremolo picking in the chorus close enough. all that's left is the outro which I'm guessing is something like...

 

D---7s--3----5--- x2

A---x----x----x---

E---5s--1----3---

 

and then up a few octaves...

 

e------17s---13----15----17s---13--

B-------x------x------x------x------x---

G------14s---10----12----14s---10--

 

Not bothering to count strums, not hard to figure out...so that's basically the whole song for Jonny.

Thankyou, thankyou!

I'm still not able to work things out by ear, so I rely on others to help me along the way, but with a bit of work i'll get there:)

Just try to figure them out by ear before you ask it, thats the best way to learn it! :)

funny that you say that, because i did that with moses just now and i've got the main riff figured out :)

Verse is just B, Em, F#, Em. there are some funky chords in the chorus I'm not so sure about, but check out 911tabs.com the ones on there are closely enough.
