Words And Music By Number One Fan
Transcribed By Ryan Tabor(LithiumPostScpt)
I sat and took some time to tab out a great but unnoticed song and band.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think!
Tuning: Standard
Intro/Verse:
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-||---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-||-1-x-11-1-3-x------1-x-11-1-x-3-3-3-| |-2-x-00-0-4-x-66-6-2-x-00-0-x-4-4-4-| |-2-x-22-2-4-x-66-6-2-x-22-2-x-4-4-4-||-0-x-44-4-2-x-44-4-0-x-44-4-x-2-2-2-|
Or
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-||---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-||---x------3-x--------x------x-3-3-3-| |-2-x------4-x------2-x------x-4-4-4-| |-2-x-22-2-4-x-22-2-2-x-22-2-x-4-4-4-||-0-x-44-4-2-x-44-4-0-x-44-4-x-2-2-2-|
Repeat this four times
Fill:
Guitar One:
|--------| |--------| |-4---3--| Let Each Chord|-2---4--| Ring Out |-2---2--||-4---2--|
Let each chord ring out
Guitar Two:
|-----------2----------2-------2-------xx||-4p2---2----4p2---2-------2-------2---xx||-----4---4------4---4---3---3---3---3-xx| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------||-----------7----------7-------7-------xx||-8p6---6----8p6---6-------6-------6---xx| |-----9---9------9---9---8---8---8---8-xx| This is what he plays live|----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------|
Both sound the same, just play whatever one is more comfortable to you.
Chorus:
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-2-22-2-||-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-||-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-1-11-1-| |-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-2-22-2-| |-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-2-22-2-| |-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
These are the chords, not the rhythm you strum!
There is also a piano riff in the chorus, simple translation.
It repeats.
|-14-11----||-------14-||----------| |----------| |----------||----------|
Post Chorus Fill:
|---x------x-2-||---x------x-2-||-1-x-11-1-x-3-||-2-x-00-0-x-4-||-2-x-22-2-x-4-||-0-x-44-4-x-2-|
Like the intro verse, but let it ring out this time.
Repeat the verse again, fill, and the chorus.
Bridge:
Guitar One:
|---------7---||-7---7-------||---8---8---8-||-------------| |-------------||-------------|
Repeat above riff till 2:01
Guitar Two: Comes in at 1:53
|-----------------------------------||-----------------------------------||---------------------------444-444-| |---1-1h2-1-------1-----444-222-111-| |-2---------2-222---2-2-222-222-222-||-------------000-----0-222---------|
Then play this fill roughly around 2:03
(It sounds like both guitars play this fill)
|-6-6h7-6/-||-7-7---7/-||----------| |----------| |----------||----------|
Guitar One:
|---------7----777777-777777-777777-| |-7---7--------777777-555555-444444-||---8---8---8-----------------------||-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------||-----------------------------------|
Guitar Two:
|-----------------------------------||-----------------------------------||-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| |---1-1h2-4-------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| |-2---------2-2/1\2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-||-----------------------------------|
Now around 2:14 Guitar Two just does
the rhythm of the chorus.
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-||-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-||-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-9-99-9-| |-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-9-99-9-| |-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-7-77-7-| |-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-|
2:14 Guitar One
|--------------11-12-||-----12-11-12-------||-/11----------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| |--------------------|
Play four times Then:
|------------------------------------------------------||-11-11-11-11-11-11-12-12-12-12-12-12------------------||-------------------------------------11-11-11-11-11-11||------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------|
Use some vibrato on these notes (Above)
|--------------11-12-7777-6666-99999999-||-----12-11-12-------7777-7777-99999999-||-/11-----------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------|
Back to Chorus (Slight Change):
Chorus:
Guitar Two:
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-2-22-2-||-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-||-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-1-11-1-| |-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-2-22-2-| |-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-2-22-2-| |-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
Guitar One:
|--------------11-12-||-----12-11-12-------||-/11----------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| |--------------------|
Guitar one just repeats over and over til the end.
Then the outro is basically just :
|-7-77-7---77--7---77-||-7-77-7---77--7---77-||-7-77-7---77--7---77-| |-9-99-9p8-88--8h9-99-| |-9-99-9---99--9---99-| |-7-77-7---77--7---77-|
Play around with it, and be sure to listen to the album as reference.
Number One Fan was a great band. This is what I have heard off the album, if
you have any corrections let me know.
