Title: Dead-End Chaos Theatre Game: Earthbound (1995, SNES) Composer: Keiichi Suzuki/Hirokazu Tanaka Tabber: LitoNico Notes: Rhythm guitar takes a little explaining, so bear with me. ___________________________________________________________ Rhythm guitar: Blues double-stop, in E: e-------------------- B-------------------- G-------------------- D-------------------- A-2--2-4--2-5--2-4--2 E-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0 and repeat! Chord changes are the usual blues: E|E|E|E|A|A|E|E|B|A|E|B| So, you can take your E double stop and move it down a string to get the part in A. In this case, though, when the progression should move to the V-chord (B), at the 9th bar, rhythm just plays this strange chord -4- -0- -5- -3- -x- -x- and... stops. Then, a funky drumbeat, and triplets on the B power chord bring us back to the beginning. The seventh note of triplets is muted, though, making the count something like this: 123123-23123 In EarthBound, the structure of this song is a little strange. I guess it was cut to make looping easier, or just to make the song a little more uneasy, but once you're through, the blues progression doesn't repeat. After the V chord, the rhythm returns to E and plays 2 bars without the lead. Then, we start over at the beginning. Now, where we previously went to our strange chord (at the start of the ninth bar) we're back at the start again. To sum up: E|E|E|E|A|A|E|E|?|?|?|B| |E|E| |E|E|E|E|A|A|E|E| and repeat. Lead: This is played with a slide! All the / marks are where the slide is used to transition from one note to the other. You can do it by bending, but it'll be tougher and won't sound quite the same. [E] e------------------------------ B------------------------------ G---7/9-7/9--7----------------- D---------------9-7------------ A--------------------10--7----- E------------------------------ [A] e------------------------------ B--------------------9/10-10/9- G--7/9---7/9-7/9--7------------ D------------------------------ A------------------------------ E------------------------------ [B] e------------------------------ B---12/13---12-10-------------- G-----------------11-9--------- D------------------------------ A------------------------------ E------------------------------ e-------------------------------------- B--------------------------------11/12- G--------------------------10/11------- D---9/10-9/10-9/10-7------------------- A--------------------9-7-9------------- E--------------------------------------
