  • 1/4 Step Down Tuning
     
    What is a quarter step? By definition, this is a "microtonal" guitar tuning,
  • containing notes that have no traditional name in a 12-tone equal temperament
    system -- the "notes between the cracks."
     
  • The guitar I transcribed this on was tuned a half step down from standard to
    begin with (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). To get in tune with the recording, I had to
    tune UP by a quarter step, such that my tuner says I'm very sharp for an Eb
  • tuning, but very flat for a standard E tuning.
     
    A good way to tune to the song is to pick out a prominent lead guitar note
  • and try to match it by tuning one string. Then, tune the rest of the guitar
    to that string.

    You'll probably need good sustain to make it seem more piano-like; try a
  • compressor.
     
    For the next bit, your guess is as good as mine. There's some sort of
  • pitchshifter effect on the bass guitar, playing a descending glissando.
    The synth/rhythm guitar is ascending between 2-3 chords, and the lead
    guitar is playing the skronky punctuation to the phrase. Getting it to
  • sound like the recording with one guitar should be difficult. If you have
    anything to add, drop me a line.

  • At this point, lead guitar dissolves into a haze of wah pedal manipulation.
    I don't own a wah at this time, but I'd imagine if you experiment and rock
    the pedal up and down while playing in the same chord shape, you should
  • come pretty close.
     
    Rhythm guitar again vamps Bbmin and F# out. The chorus is 4 chords --

    Bbmin x13321
    F# 244322
  • Ab 466544
    D#m7 x68676
     
  • -- with some subtle variations on the last chord thrown in.
