Anyone have tips on how I can figure this one out? https://youtu.be/lmtKtMyQsNk I can get parts of it but I get lost too. I wish the resolution was better. Last edited: Jun 15, 2022 16:32:29 Top

Anyone have tips on how I can figure this one out? Here you go! I didn't transcribe the solo, but he basically uses the same tricks for that. It's a lot of layering triads (and sometimes 7ths) under the melody lines, and harmonizing in 3rds. He also makes use of a diminished chord substitution that is commonly used in jazz. Basically, if you're playing a dominant 7th chord (like, say, A7), you can just shift the root note up one half step to make a diminished chord. So instead of A C# E G, you'd have A# C# E G. You can then take that shape and slide it up or down a minor 3rd and it will be the same chord in a different inversion (same notes, slightly different order). It's a good way to give movement and drama to otherwise stagnant sections. The Man Who Sold The World Transcription Edit: There were some mistakes in the TABs and overall readability, so I updated the pdf. — Premiere Single Out Now! - Keep On Running Psychic Chime - Instagram Psychic Chime - Twitter Professional Website (film-scoring) Last edited: Jul 01, 2022 07:12:20 Top

That should be 5th fret 2nd string, not 3rd. Anyway, thanks for turning me on to RJ Ronquillo. I hadn’t come across him somehow but he’s a monster of a player and has really good taste. — Premiere Single Out Now! - Keep On Running Psychic Chime - Instagram Psychic Chime - Twitter Professional Website (film-scoring) Top
