DEADWING - Jason Dolinger

Tabbed by: Jason Dolinger
Email: jmdolinger@earthlink.net
Tuning: Dropped D
e

G
D
A
D
tempo = ~ 144 bpm
Riff A:
Starts about 0:36 into the tune (after
the introductory keyboard parts), played with
slightly distorted electric and acoustic guitar doubled, probably
some chorus as well. Hold all notes open and ringing (except for
the few marked staccato with a .).
By the way, I have NO idea what these chords actually are, but they sound
rght to me. Basically some crazy variation of F#m and F.
A guess is F#m7sus4 and Fmaj7b11 but I'm not sure. Can anyone enlighten me?
Repeat Riff A twice:
F#m7sus4 Fmaj7b11...

Back to Riff A repeat 2 times, vocals enter.
Guitar tacit 16 measures while bass/keyboards play a simplified
Riff B underneath the spoken vocal.
Riff A 1 time
Riff C (this one sounds awesome and is great fun to play. Make it
heavy, loud and pretend you are in Tool). Drums go to half time
on this. Repeat twice

Guitar solo #1 is up next (sorry didn't tab this out yet). Underneath
the solo is a mellow variation on Riff A, acoustic guitar only. Basically
it's strumming the first few chords and holding throughout the next
3 measures.
Repeat 4 times:

guitar with a leslie effect on it, doubled with acoustic guitar.

Hold that last bit for one extra measure before moving on (tricky
triplet drum fill which makes it hard to count through, but yes those
are measures of 4/4).
Guitar tacit 8 measures over spoken vocal part again.
Riff A Repeat 2 times
Riff B Repeat 4 times
Now comes the trancy spacey bridge. It's definitely in 4/4 and you
can count along with the keyboard bits, but it may as well be in free
time, because the guitar and bass textures come in apparently randomly.
The guitar uses a clean sound with some reverb and tremolo I guess
here, adding texture on top of a D pedal from the keyboard. These are
the chords used as best I can figure:
e|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----|
B|---5----|--4--3--|6-------|4---3---|5-------|4---3---|6------|5-----|--3-|
G|---5----|--2-----|5-------|2-----2-|5-------|2-------|5------|4-----|----|
D|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0-------|0------|0-----|----|
A|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----|
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|------|----|
Full band enters in 7/4 time with the tribal sounding pattern. The guitar
here has full distortion again. The clean tremolo-ed guitar textures are
still being played on top of all else that is going on.

Drums launch into a straight ahead groove here playing right
through the 7/4 bars, so where the downbeat on the snare drum
matches up with the guitar alternates every measure. Try to hold on!:

Then back into 4/4 for the next two measures, guitar playing
the D on quarter note triplets. This is the climax of the guitar
solo:
