Eddie Bertrand - Lanky Bones & Mr.Rebel

acidjoker Joined: Mar 28, 2013 Posts: 61 Århus	Posted on May 06 2014 08:09 AM Hi. Does anybody have the tabs for either Lanky Bones or Mr. Rebel? Top
JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on May 06 2014 10:18 AM At the risk of sounding snarky, I posit: why not just learn it by ear? I have yet to hear a surf tune which was not played in a very straightforward way. The essence, I was told, of the music is that it's not over-thought, just real simple. The technical challenge is reserved for the right, picking hand. Fingerings are generally no-brainers. — Squink Out! Top

Posted on May 06 2014 10:43 AM If you can't find a tab check out some of the videos on youtube there might be a guitar lesson of those tunes I recently learned mr rebel and it is really not the easiest tunes to learn lots of modulations and trickly turnarounds also very irish in its tonality when we play it live people always ask is that an irish tune played surf style and I always say yes — Facebook pages theSupertones or @ Timothy C Sullivan Top

surfdog2 Joined: May 20, 2014 Posts: 1	Posted on May 21 2014 10:50 PM Try to figure out the chords first. Mr. Rebel starts in D major. The lead is in the chord, it then modulates up. Lanky Bones, I think starts in D minor then F major. again the lead is in the chords. Top

pscates Joined: Oct 26, 2013 Posts: 45	Posted on Jun 01 2014 05:08 PM I love these songs! "Mr. Rebel" is very doable. Simple, melodic notes you can hum (which means you can play it...that's always my measuring stick, and that's how I learn everything; if I can hum/sing it, then I can figure it out on the fretboard). It shifts keys three times (D, Eb, E, then back down to D, ending as it began after that drum/bass break), but it's basically playing the same notes/melody across each key change. In other words, learn it it in D (the opening verse), then just scoot it up a fret (then two) for the other two keys. The Eb and E sections are played an octave higher, I realize, BUT it's still the same cluster of notes/melody as the opening section in D (I don't have a huge theory background, but it's all the D major kind of notes...it's not exotic/unusual in its notes or patterns like some of these songs can be). I think the general speed of it (and the bass and rhythm guitar both being so bouncy/active) might make it sound tougher than it is. Last edited: Jun 01, 2014 21:03:39 Top
