SWERVEDRIVER - DUEL ------------------- Band : Swervedriver Song : Duel Album : Mezcal Head Tabber : Dave Ashton Email : mezcal_head@hotmail.com Ok here is my rendition of how I play Duel, I basically took Hairys tab and re-worked it... Intro / Verse ------------- Guitar 1 E|----------5--------| B|------------3------| Here is the main riff at the start of the song, G|--3-3---3-----3----| use a slight distortion to make it sound close D|------5---------5--| to the record. A|-------------------| E|-------------------| Guitar 2 E|-----------------| B|-----------------| These chords are palm muted into the next bit: G|-----------------| D|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8--| A|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8--| E|--6-6-6-6-6-6-6--| Guitar 2 E|------------------| B|------------------| This part happens just about the same time G|--8-8-8-8--5-5-5--| when Adam says "Cant ask why.." D|--8-8-8-8--5-5-5--| A|--6-6-6-6--3-3-3--| E|------------------| Chorus ------ Guitar 2 E|----------------------------------------------------------------> B|----------------------------------------------------------------> G|----------------------------------------------------------------> D|-3/8-8-8--6-6-6--8--10-10-10-10-10-10--8--10-10-10-10--8-8--10--> A|-3/8-8-8--6-6-6--8--10-10-10-10-10-10--8--10-10-10-10--8-8--10--> E|-1/6-6-6--4-4-4--6---8--8--8--8--8--8--6---8--8--8--8--6-6---8--> ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| Slide up and play these chords with downstrokes ---------------------------------------------| to get a more powerful sound from it. --8--10-10-10-10-10-10-10--8-8-8--6-6-6--13--| --8--10-10-10-10-10-10-10--8-8-8--6-6-6--13--| --6---8--8--8--8--8--8--8--6-6-6--4-4-4--11--| Guitar 1 E|------| B|------| The other guitar plays this with a loud overdriven sound. G|--12--| D|--12--| A|--10--| E|------| Guitar 1 E|--0/3~~~~~~~--0/16~~~~~~~--| B|---------------------------| This is the part that sounds like "waaaaaaaaah!!" G|---------------------------| Im not quite sure if its 100% accurate, but I use D|---------------------------| Flanger pedal with the speed on full, a Wah pedal A|---------------------------| and vibrato on the strings. E|---------------------------| Bridge ------ Guitar 2 E|--1--0--1--0--1--| B|--1--1--1--1--1--| Just play these chords (C and F) with slight distortion G|--2--0--2--0--2--| and keep strumming F when the other guitar plays the riff D|--3--2--3--2--3--| underneath. A|--0--3--0--3--0--| E|-----0-----0-----| Guitar 1 E|-----------0--------| B|-------------3---3--| I realised I was actually playing this bit wrong, G|--2-2---2------2----| Marcos Burian helped me come to my senses with this bit. D|------3-------------| Anyway this is correct, I believe. A|--------------------| E|--------------------| Guitar 1 E|---------| B|--9-8-7--| This riff is faint and appears once or twice G|---------| in the song. D|---------| A|---------| E|---------| Interlude --------- Guitar 1 E|------------------| B|------------------| Pick these notes as the instrumental section G|--9-10-9----------| of the song begins, use a neck pickup with a very D|---------12-10-10-| small ammount of gain / distortion. A|------------------| E|------------------| E|---------12-10-10-| B|------------------| G|--9-10-9----------| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|------------------| Guitar 2 E|-------------| B|-------------| This appears once during the interlude. G|-------------| Use quite a fair bit of overdrive and let it ring. D|--12/10~~~~--| A|-------------| E|-------------| Bridge ------ Guitar 2 E|--------------5-5-5--| B|--------------3-3-3--| Guitar one enters with this.... G|--10\---------3-3-3--| D|-----\3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| Guitar 1 E|--------------5-5-5--| B|--------------3-3-3--| Guitar two enters with this.... G|--10\---------3-3-3--| D|-----\3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| Guitar 1 + 2 E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--| B|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| Both guitars rock out with this, then G|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| go back to the palm muted notes shown earlier D|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| on with this tab. A|-------------------| E|-------------------| Ending ------ Guitar 1 E|-------------------| B|-------------------| This is basically the same as the interlude G|--9-10-9-----------| section show above, except it has the nice sound D|---------12-10-10--| of crashing waves and seagulls, to get the sea and seagull A|-------------------| sound ask some friends to help you out with seagull impersonations E|-------------------| E|---------12-10-10--| B|-------------------| G|--9-10-9-----------| D|-------------------| A|-------------------| E|-------------------| Guitar 2 E|--11-11-11-11-11-11--13-13-13-13-13-13--| B|--11-11-11-11-11-11--13-13-13-13-13-13--| This is the strange sound effect at the end G|--13-13-13-13-13-13--15-15-15-15-15-15--| that sounds similar to a train...hmmmmm.. D|--13-13-13-13-13-13--15-15-15-15-15-15--| Im even puzzled about how to generate it, A|----------------------------------------| fret hand mute these chords or something...
