Better tab - Robin Solo

[Voodoochild]

I tabbed Robin Better solo, after many requests. I guess 99% of the 1st part is right, but I dunno about the second part. Any help would be nice, but I think you can play it with the tab I made. Hopefully it will help you guys.

Just a reminder:

The main riff (intro) is like that:

E--18--18--18—18—18—18—18-----18—18—18—18—18---18
B--20--22--20—22—20—22—20-----22---------22---20---22—20


B--18--20--18—20—18—17—18--
G--19--19--19—19—19—19—19—

E---0----0-----0—--0—-
B--15---17---18—-20—

The main chords of the song:

Bb
----8----
----10---
----10---

D:

----10---

----0----

F:

All this with Drop D, of course. And please, tune your guitar half step down.  Thanks pdl from www.perfectcrimegnr .com for the help.


Anyways, here's the solo I tabbed:

I recorded Robin's parts and pdl recorded Bucket's some time ago, but it's almost the same thing as I tabbed (some minor changes in the second part). If you want to follow:

Hope you'll like it!

Cool, I'll have a proper look later. I think if you listen really carefully he's playing a Bflat major 7 starting on the A string going into a d minor chord. Anyone else agree?

[Voodoochild]

Thanks man, but what are you talkin' about? In what part?

[Milles]

I was talking about the chords to the sogn part. It's cool though, I get waht you mean now I jsut wasn't used to playing them in that position

E 1   1
B 3   3
G 2   2
D 3   0
A 1

that's how I played the Bflat and D

[Voodoochild]

Oh, I see now. But sorry, they don't play like that, as you can see in several boots.
