WEEN - THE MOLLUSK - Complete Tab (when I feel like finishing it up) v.9b ========================================================================== Here's something you don't see every day -- tablature for an album that isn't out yet. I decided to do this, even though I haven't finished Chocolate & Cheese and 12GCG, because I got the album yesterday and I like it more than the other two. For people who haven't heard it yet, it's got some weirder Pod-like stuff, a lot of synthesizers, and some talented guitar work. I'd advise everyone to pick up a copy of the album as soon as it comes out. I haven't finished this tab up yet (there are sections still missing) but I'll get around to it sooner or later.

For the louder part, use Amin pentatonic, and start by bending the G string from the 6th fret to the 8th and then back again, because it sounds cool. ** Cold Blows The Wind ** E-|-0---0-2-0--|--3---2---0---0---3-----2--||---------------------------------| B-|-0---0-0-0--|--3---3---1---0---3-----3--||---------------------------------| G-|-0---0-2-0--|--0---2---2---0---0-----2--||---------------------------------| D-|-2---2-1-2--|--0---0---2---2---0-----0--||---------------------------------| A-|-2---2-2-2--|--2-------0---2---2--------||---------------------------------| E-|-0---0---0--|--3-----------0---3--------||---------------------------------| Verse Chorus Note: At the second verse, I think, distorted root chords are played at the beginning of each line. ** Pink Eye (On My Leg) ** E-|----------------------------------------------||--------------------------|| B-|-12-p-10--12-p-10-----------------------------||--------------------------|| G-|-12-p-10--12-p-10-----------------12p10-------||--------------------------|| D-|-------------------12----------12-------12----||-------------------2------|| A-|-----------------------10------------------10-||-------2-2-2-5-5-5---5-2--|| E-|----------------------------------------------||-3-3-3--------------------|| Guitar riff Bassline E-|---------------------||----------------------------------------------------| B-|---------------------||----------------------------------------------------| G-|---------------------||----------------------------------------------------| D-|---------------------||----------------------------------------------------| A-|-10---12---15---17---||----------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------||----------------------------------------------------| This is the progression of the main riff.

Maybe later. ** Ocean Man ** I don't feel like transcribing any more right now.
