JULIANA HATFIELD - Tablatura - My Sister

Lines: 232

Messed up on a few chords and such on my original posting. Like it
never happens to you. Here's the update.

Okay, so I responded to my own request. I figured this one
out by ear. It's actually not too tough, once you realize
note #1:

1) There's a capo on the 2nd fret. This is important. Just
TRY to play the Asus2/F# chord or the bits between
verses without. I dare you. Also, and this is handy to
know, get a strong capo. Not these elastic band pieces
of shit that you get for five bucks. Spend some money.
I got a $19 Kyser just to play this song. If your capo
isn't good, when you bend the strings between verses,
you'll go WAY out of tune.
2) You can do this with one or two guitars. If you do it
with one, you'll need a foot pedal or something to
switch between clean and distorted. Not to hard, but
you need the hardware for it. Two guitars, just have
one clean, one distorted. The only time the distortion
kicks in is during the E-D section between verses and
in the ride-out. For the intro and verses, make it
clean. Listen to the recording to get the idea.
3) No verse rhythm written here. Just arpeggiate and you'll
be fine. BTW, in the first two lines of the last verse,
just play the chord once on the first beat of each
line. Listen to the recording to get the idea.
4) As usual, chord names are shapes, not concert pitch.
5) There's an extra chord in the "before they had a record
out" part, but I can't figure it out. It adds a touch
of drama, but it's not vital. If you know it, give me a
holler.
6) I have no idea what she says after, "before they went
gold" part. I just made up something that sounds about
right.
7) Except for the single notes, the intro section is an
approximation. I don't know what they're doing, but
this could conceivably get you by.
8) To bend the D chord, just push all the fretted strings
toward the low E string. You're not going for total
accuracy here, so don't worry if you overshoot. BTW,
this is why you need the good capo. You'll be
painfully out of tune if you try this will a cheap
capo.
9) Juliana does some amazing vocal bits in the third verse.
not a guitar-related note, but just one that I thought
I'd mention.
