Artist: Chevelle Song: The Clincher Album: This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In Tuning: Drop A# (A# F A# D# G C) Author: Mike Smith (sublime56@hotmail.com) New song off the Madden 2005 soundtrack and their new album coming out Tuesday September 21st (Today). Enjoy! Notation Key: v - Downstroke ^ - Upstroke h - Hammer On p - Pull Off * - Natural Harmonic Note ~ - Let Ring / - Slide Up - Slide Down x - Muted String p.m. - Palm Mute Intro (with Wah): NOTE: Hit the harmonics and while letting them ring, roll the wah foward. Wait three beats (i.e. count to 3 in your head while you're doing it) then on the 4th, mute the harmonic on the D# string and turn the wah off. It'll sound just like the real intro.
