So I went and watched and listened to a sound check of LiT ii played, and I picked out the following chords for the background noise/synth sound played by Jonny on his electric. I'll post the youtube video below as well as chords played by Chris from ultimate-guitar.com. Thanks for reading! If you like my tabs, make a request to me by PM or check out my forum in my sig and join.

 

The chords below are played tremolo picking (I used all down picks) and played with some heavy reverb and delay, most likely generated by Jonny's rack gear.

 

e|-------------12--12------
B|-14--15--10--10---9--10--
G|-13--14---9---9---9---9--
D|-11--12---7-----------7--
A|-------------------------
E|-------------------------

My next tab will be the electric guitar for Lovers in Japan. The ENTIRE electric guitar part.

Thank You!!!!

ahh, much better video. looks spot on. But I think you can skip the third chord and just not play the high e as loud as the first two notes here.

 

 

e|-----------------12--12--12---

B|-14--15--14--10---9---10---

G|-13--14--13---9---9----9----

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

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

Then again, I fail. sorry for screwing things up.

Yeah but your gonna need that third chord for the chorus anyways. Listen to 0:58 in the video, you'll hear it.

 

EDIT

 

Oh, and after the last chord you go to the third chord as well. I should probably fix that.

Yeah that part I had semi-right. I was just way off thinking the intro was an octave higher than the chorus. Its starts on that A and while I think he moves up to B, C# and back, I honestly can't hear that whole part well enough to give a stab at tabbing it.

I miss the single notes in the tab. If you watch the video you can see him playing single notes.

chris doesn't play these chords... the tuning is E A D G C# C#

then he uses these kind-of-open chords like: F#m 244200 D (10)(12)(12)(11)00 C#m 9(11)(11)900 A 577600 G#m 466400 Esus4 022200 E 022100

these should be all the chords needed...

the acoustic tab isnt mine, and it was made for standard tuning so you cant really say anything about the tuning

i just wanted to give the real thing... you can see chris doing these chords --> guitar isn't standard tuned
