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 think this is more accurate than the current version at OLGA 
River of Deceit
by Mad Season
transcribed by kevin gardner code@wam.umd.edu

Notes:
This song only contains two chords Fadd9 and
G major, the same progression used in HendrixUs
I donUt live today.  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

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.
E |--3---3-3---3-3p2--2--2--2-3p2--2-2-2--|
B |--3---3-3---3-3----3--3--3-3----3-3-3--|
G |--0-x-0-2---2-2----2--2--2-2----2-2-2--|
D |--0-x-2-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
A |--2-x-3-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
E |--3-x-0--------------------------------|
