Thanks for putting this up, great job! I actually have a couple of suggestions. As far as the tuning, I think it's actually in DADGAD. But with that string being a whole step down, you only have to make minor adjustments to the riffs and chord clusters you've already figured out. I also think that the second shape you're playing during the chorus may be off. I think he actually goes down from the open_A/10/12 to open_A/9/7/8. OR, you can just invert the 10/12 and play a 12/10. Helpful?

@bennyshambles It's definitely not DADGAD. Justin uses those double A or D strings all the time.

[budameat]

what tuning is it in?

[slackerVK]

@budameat As I remember it's DADAAD.

[rubensinclair]

is this standard tuning?

[slackerVK]

@rubensinclair no, it isn't.

@bennyshambles For what it's worth the old Unwound site has an email from someone who asked Justin about his go-to tuning, and he told him it's DADGAD, so you're on the right track! Also (from his headstocks):

Tuning #1 : DAEAAD

used for : All Souls Day, Usual Dosage, Sonata for Loudspeakers, Devoid, Next Exit

Tuning #2 : F#AEAAD

used for : Dragnalus, Abstraktions, Honourosis, Lifetime Achievement Award, and others

So yeah, just thought people might be interested. Great cover also!

nice dude! this gets a little boring on bass but its such sweet song.

[bennyshambles]

@slackerVK - Definitely not, huh? Well OK, just a friendly suggestion. I know that tuning works really well for many of the songs I've figured out how to play. Standard and drop D are used often as well ("Fiction Friction" and "Usual Dosage" for example), along with minor tweaks such as F-A-D-G-B-E ("Arboretum"). Anyways, thanks again for putting this up.

[bennyshambles]

PS - I figured out "Unauthorized Biography" and "For Your Entertainment" in the DADGAD tuning as well, along with "Lady Elect" which is in standard.

Seeing somebody's fingers actually create these thick weird clusters in front of my very eyes makes me appreciate even more how otherworldly they are. THANKS!

Great STUFF

One of the best rock songs of the 90's, in my humble opinion.
