Mexican Standoff by Elbow guitar tab (text):Elbow: Mexican standoff
Tabbed by: Bas Vos
For this song, you'll have to tune your lower E-string down 1 step
(Dropped-D tuning).
Listen to the song to get a feel for the rhythm; it is alternate picking
throughout.
Opening riff:
Riff 1 (4x)
E|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
D|-0--0-0-0--5-0-4~-0-0-0--2~-0--|
Then play:
Riff 2 (2x)
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4~-0-0-0--4-0-5~-0-0-0-5-0-7~-0-0-0-7-0-9~-0-0-0-10-10\---|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
These two riffs are the basic 'building blocks' of the song.
Then the solos:
Solo 1 (played with distortion):
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0--7-0-5~~~---------------------0-0-|
D|-----------------------------------7b(8)b7--5b(6)--4~~~------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0-4p0-0-4p0-7-7-0-5~~--9b(10)b9-7~~-------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------9b(10)b9--7~~--9-10-7~~---|
Solo 2(2x) (distorted):
E|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0--5p0-0-5p0-0-5p0-0-5p0-0-|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
(2nd time only)
E|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
A|-7p0-0-7p0-0-7p0-0-7p0-0--9p0-0-9p0-0-9p0-0-9p0-0-10-10\-|-5~~-----------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
After the solos, it's back to an alternation of riffs 1 and 2.
The final chord is:
E|------|
B|------|
G|------|
D|--0---|
A|--0---| (let ring)
D|--0---|
Not the hardest part of the song surely.
~ = vibrato
\ = slide down
p = pull-off
9b(10)b9 = bend to the note between brackets and release again
Have fun,
Bas
