Intro: -------------------------------------------------------- --3---3h5p3--3--0-----------------------------0----0---- --0----------------4p2p0---2---2s4s2p0---2----0----0---- Repeat 3x ----------------------------------------------0h2--2---- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- This is basically the same as the first tab at OLGA, so you can use that one if this one confuses you... Now this(whatever you call it): F G --1---------3---3------ --2---2-----3---3------ --3-----2---0---0------ Strum freely, listen to the song. --3---------0---0------ ------------2---2------ ------------3---3------ Now this is played throughout the entire song: F G ? ---------3---2--;--3------------------- --1------3---3--;--3--3h5p3-3---------- --2p0----0---0--;--0-----------4s2p0--- This fill is only played in the --3------0---0--;--0------------------- second verse, and not all the ----------------;--3------------------- time. ----------------;--2------------------- Just listen to the song for the strumming. Verse:This is where I've seen the majority of the screw ups, here's how McCready plays it on the video tape. --3------5------8--8--8p7--7--8p7--7--8------------- --3------5------8--8--8----8--8----8--8------------- --0------0------0--0--0----0--0----0--0------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- The rhythm might be hard to follow, but you can pick that up also. Now just play the intro once for the outro and that's it! I hope I did a good job, this is my first tab and I've only been playing two months, so I would love some criticism and/or comments. Hey if anybody has figured out 'Lifeless Dead' by Mad Season, e-mail me at rbracke@okstate.edu. I think I've figured most of it out except for the solo, so I would appreciate some other attempts. Later!

I sugest that for the Fadd9 chord you cover the high E and B strings with your first finger, the G string with your second finger, the D string with your pinky, the A string with you ring finger and the low E with your thumb. h=hammer on p=pull off s=slide intro ----------------------------------------- -3---3h5p3---3------------------0--0---0- -0---------4---4s2p0--2--2s4p0--0--0---0- --------------------------------2--0h2-0- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- -3---3h5p3---3------------------0--0---0- -0---------4---4s2p0--2--2s4p0--0--0---0- --------------------------------2--0h2-0- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- -3---3h5p3---3------------------0--0----- -0---------4---4s2p0--2--2s4p0--0--0----- --------------------------------2--0----- ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- -------------3-3- -1-----------3-3- -2--2-0------0-0- -3------0h2--0-0- -3-----------2-2- -------------3-3- -------1--------3-------- \ -1-----1--------3-------- \ -2p0---0-strum--0-strum-- 5x -3-----3-freely-0-freely- | -------3--------2-------- / -------1--------3--------/ Verse 1 -------1--------3-------- -1-----1--------3-------- -2p0---0-strum--0-strum-- -3-----3-freely-0-freely- -------3--------2-------- -------1--------3-------- repeat eight times chorus this is played 4 times: ----------------------- -8-10--13-12--13p12-12- -------12-12--12----12- This might be -9-10--14-12--14----12- played on a 12-string ----------------------- ----------------------- x----/ -------1--------3--------3---3------- \ -1-----1--------3--------3h5-3------- \ -2p0---0-strum--0-strum--------4s2p0- 8 x -3-----3-freely-0-freely------------- | -------3--------2-------------------- / -------1--------3-------------------- / this fill is not always played verse 2 = verse 1 chorus 2 extends the last Fadd9 and G some outro play the intro line END Date: Mon, 05 Jun 1995 23:42:02 -0400 From: OllieOne@aol.com Group: Mad Season Song: River of Deceit This is one of the better songs of the Above album. It isn't any easy song to figure out. I did my best so that is all i could do. A lot of the music in this song is just going into little scales of the chords being played. Anyway here is my best try at it: notations: ********** s=slide h=hammer on p=pull off v=vibrato guitar parts: ------------- this part is played in the begining E |------------------------------------------------------------------------| B |--8-----8------------------------------------------8----8---------------| G |--7-----7h9h7--------------------------------------7----7h9p7-----------| D |--------------9p7----------------------------------------------9p7------| A |-------------------10--7--10--7--10-----5h7-5v----------------------10--| E |------------------------------------------------------------------------| E |-----------------------------------------------------------------| B |----------------------------8----8-------------------------------| G |----------------------------7----7h9p7---------------------------| D |---------------------------------------9p7-----------------------| A |--7-10s12--7--10---5h7-5v-------------------10--7--10s12--7--10--| E |-----------------------------------------------------------------| E |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--| B |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--| then go G |-----------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| to the D |--7--------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| verse part A |--------10s12---5------2--x--2---2--x--2--| E |-----------------------3--x--3---3--x--3--| verse: ------ this part i'm sure is a C to G progression, but i'm not sure how he hammers on and pulls off notes, this is close enought though E |--0----0--0--0--3--3-x--3--3--3--3--| B |--3p1--1--0--1--1--3-x--3--3--3--3--| G |--0----0--0--0--0--0-x--0--0--0--0--| D |--2----2--2--2--2--0-x--0--0--0--0--| A |--3----3--3--3-----2-x--2--2--2--2--| E |-------------------3-x--3--3--3--3--| that is basically the verse, he does some other improvisational stuff which is just going into scales (i believe the G-scale) and goes a bit crazy chorus: ------- this is the best i could come up with.......... when you get to the D-chord in this progression, work with the hammering on and pulling off to get the real effect of the song.
