Performance notes
As usual for The Pillows, we have 2 distinct guitar tracks on the left and right
channels. Due to time constraints, I only tabbed the left channel; rest assured,
though, that this pretty much covers the gist of it.
During the intro, be careful not to sound the open A string during the Dmaj7 or it
will sound like (what else?) an A.
The intro has some weird timing signatures (switching from 3/4 to 4/4 and back
again...even a 5/4 to make sure you're paying attention!). Just listen to the
recording and you should be able to pick it up.
Except where noted, don't worry about all the ghost notes. This just symbolizes
that the chord should be held for whatever extra amount of time as noted in the
duration markers. Speaking of duration markers, I timed this transcription so that
every note you see has the proper musical timing (and I have the midis to prove it!!!).
For those of you that can't read music, it is entirely useless. Otherwise, it might
be usefull (^_^).
One more thing...don't use too much disto or the chords and arpegs will sound too muddled.
