Whale & Wasp

												
Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything to the archive, and I
noticed this song wasn't there, so I'll give it my best shot. As with
all Alice-in-Chains songs, you must tune down 1/2 step to play this
song. Note: I was too lazy to tune down 1/2 step, so parts of this
(especially Rhy. Fig. 2) aren't totally accurate, but the bass (root)
notes are definitely correct. Here goes:
Rhy. Fig. 1
Gtr. I
[Eb------------------------3---------------------3-------3------
Bb--------------------------3---------------------3-------3----
Gb-----0-----0---0----0-------0------0-----0--------0-------0--
Db---0-----0--------0--------------0-----0---------------------
Ab-------------------------------------3-----6-----------------
Eb-6-----5-----4--3-----3-------36--------------------3-------3]
Gtr. II
[Eb---B----slow rel---------------------------------------------
Bb-10-(11)--------(8)------------------------------------------
Gb-------------------------------------------------------------
Db-------------------------------------------------------------
Ab-------------------------------------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------------]
The (8) is a ghost note. As you're releasing the bend on the 10, lift
up your finger so that the 8 sounds. In a way it's a VERY gentle
pull-off. You can also pick it softly if you want, I guess.

                                 HP
[Eb-----3-----3---3----3-----3---3----3-----3----2-------232----
Bb---3-----3--------3-----3--------3-----3------3-----------3--
Gb-0-----2-----2--5-----4-----4--5-----4-----5--2-------------2
Db----------------------------------------------0--------------
Ab-------------------------------------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------------]
The 232 thing is just a triplet, and I wanted to stick to the pattern of
two dashes per eighth note.

Now for the structure of the song:
Rhy. Fig. 1 } 4x
Rhy. Fig. 2 } 2x
Rhy. Fig. 1 } 2x
Rhy. Fig. 3 } 4x
Rhy. Fig. 4 } 4x
Rhy. Fig. 1 } 2x
That's the whole song. No lyrics, of course. I love posting
instrumentals. :)
