    TAB Key
     
  •  
    X - mute with palm of hand
    ~ - hold note
  • / - slide up
    () - incidental note
    ^ - emphasise note
  • rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
    (but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
     
  • Notes
     
    As this part of the song is an instrumental its difficult to keep
  • track of where you are in the TAB. To make things easier, the TAB
    is broken into sections and the CD times included where they occur.
     
  • Most of 'Smash It Up (Part 1)' uses arpeggiated chord shapes. Some
    of the shapes used are normal, first position chords - others are
    common chord shapes which are moved 'out of position'. The song is
  • in 4/4 time.
     
    If you look at some of the chord names above the TAB stave - things
  • seem a little 'jazzy' with all those 9th and 11th chords lying about.
    The piece isn't complicated - the expensive sounding chord names come
    about as a result of moving simple chord shapes up the neck. If you
  • view the TAB, looking for out of position chord shapes then the whole
    thing is alot easier to learn ....
     
  • Section A uses A11 and D11 chords. These are just common G and Cmaj7
    shapes, moved up the neck by 2 frets.
     
  • Section B uses the same shapes as in section A, along with F9(no 3rd)
    - which is a variant of Fminor at the first fret.
     
  • Section C uses the same shapes as in section B.
     
    Section D uses diads based on D5 and D9, along with Cmajor and the
  • shapes used in in section A. Check with the record/CD to get the
    emphasis on picking right for the 4-bars of Cmajor
     
  • Section E uses Em6, Em7 and Em9 chords. These chords are all formed
    by adding a simple melody to a basic Em chord. This section also uses
    C and D11 chords. The D11 chord is formed by taking the standard C
  • shape and moving it up 2 frets.
     
    Section F uses standard G, Eminor, D and Dsus2 chord shapes. These
  • chords are played loosely, with open strings being sounded between
    some of the chord changes.
     
  • The guitar sound is 'clean' with a very small amount of delay added,
    in places a slight flanging effect is also present.
