paddy109 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Would someone mind doing me a tab of Slow Death? It's one of ten songs I have to learn before a try out with new band this coming week! I have completed the usual Internet search but nothing coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy109 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Or just the chord structure and I will make it up from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 That's strange but 20 minutes with fresh ears and I have a rough tab sorted - now to refine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) We do a version of it, and it's a belter of a song to play but i didnt think many other bands would do it. I have never written tab before but could try but basically I just play the roots in 8th for the first round of A C G D then let my fingers go where they want around pentatonic patterns on those chords. Chorus is A to F# ( may be a G trying to remembe off the top of my head) which I just play roots on Outro bit is D A G which i mostly just play roots and octaves with the odd fill for good measure Solo is A I just play A G hammer on The verse is the fun bit as you can play around a lot. A slightly rough version of us playing it can be found here: Listen to Slow Death by Black Dog Company #np on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/blackdogcompany/slow-death-1 I hope that helps.

paddy109 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Brilliant - thanks. If we anything like your soundcloud version I will be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) No worries and thanks for the comments. I've had a play though at home so a bit more structure is (hope it makes sense and apologies for any errors): Into & Verse A C G D PreChorus 8 bars A Chorus 4 bars G Verse A C G D Pre chorus A Solo A - I pedal A to G and add the odd fill Finishes in G as per Chorus Verse A C G D Last Chorus bit (it's like bad dream, Slow death etc) A to F# Outro D A G It's not too hard once you get the structure sorted but it's a really good fun song to play. One of my favourites in our set. I hope it goes well, all the best. Edited October 10, 2016 by sbrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
