Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard
My third Chulahoma tab. Although I really liked Spacy Ignigknot 's tab of this song and
think it's killer, it isn't a complete tab. So, I wanted to try my hand at it. I wanted
to go through the whole song and lay it all out piece by piece as I've tried to do with
my other Black Keys tabs.
There are two layered guitars. There is a lead with a mild amount of fuzz on it. The 2nd
guitar, which is pretty fuzzy and has some delay, plays the two solos and random little
fills throughout the song. I'll tab the lead and the solos as best I can. During the
solos, the main riff keeps playing.
In the faster parts of the intro and outro it sounds like Dan uses ghost hammers (see
key for descrip.)
Feel free not to use them and play what sounds best to you. It just sounds to me like
some kind of hammer/pull is going on around those areas.
In the intro, at 1:27 & 2:37 it sounds like Dan plays a bassline with his thumb. Or
maybe somebody
layered a bass guitar on there. Idk, play it if you can, it sounds like the A string. I
get by without
it.
I put time indicators on each box so if something doesn't sound right go to the nearest
indicator and give it a few playbacks in Itunes or youtube or whatever you use. See if
you can hear what I heard. Let me know if you think something should be fixed.
please rate the tab.
Key:
where # represents a number
#h# - hammer
h# - ghost hammer. don't attack with pick. just hammer onto it hard.
#p# - pull
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.

a little tricky don't know if I got it.
I think it's only one guitar but the delay just throws me off here.
