------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 4 1831 - Balmorhea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: scdavis01 Tuning: Standard Guitar Part I: Rob loops this riff and experiments with/improvises on it as the song goes on - he often exchanges the note on the open B string for the note on the open high E string. The notes in () are not completely necessary - they should be played less loudly than the others, but they are present to keep the continuous eighth note feel going. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------0-------| B|------------0-----------------0-----------------0---------------------------| G|---1h2---------------1--------------1-----1------------1-----1--------------| D|---2--------------2-----2--------------------2------------------2---------2-| A|---0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----4----------(4)-----2-----------(2)---| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar Part 2: Capo 2 e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------0h4------------0h4--4s2p0------------0h4---------0h4--4s5s4------| A|-------0h2------------0h2-------------------0h2---------0h2------------5----| E|-----3--------------3---------------------3-----------3---------------------| Later on, guitar 2 switches to this riff and loops it e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----2s4---------2s4---------------------------------------------------------| D|----------4s2p0-------4s2p0-------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| This guitar 2 riff (capo 2) in "Settler" is played with the same loop that Rob plays in "March 4 1831" e|----2h3p2-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------3s5p0------0-----------------------------------------------------| G|------------------2s4---4s2p0-----0---0---0-----0---0-----------------------| D|------------------------------2s4---4---4---4s7---9---0---------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----2h3p2-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------3s5p0------0-----------0---0---0-----0---0---0-------------------| G|------------------2s4---4s2p0-2s4---4---4---4s7---9---5---0-----------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| This progression is found in both "March 4 1831" and "Settler".
