From: ihbryant@mailhost.ecn.uoknor.edu (Ira Houston Bryant Iv) Subject: TAB:Orange by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion This is a tab from one of my favorite bands. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope I did it right. Please email me any corrections. I've worked up part of Afro from Extra Width, too. If anyone is interested I can finish it. Orange from the album Orange by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion transcribed by Ira H. Bryant IV (ihbryant@mailhost.ecn.uoknor.edu) I can't tell the words from listening. If anyone figures them out, please email them, and I'll post it all together This is my first time to tab fancy stuff (hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.) I used the standard conventions from the archive as such: ----p5--- pull-off to fret five ----h7--- hammer-on to fret seven --8b(9)-- play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the pitch of fret nine --b(9)8-- play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine, releasing until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has 2 guitarists (one sings, too.) I arranged this for one, but I'm afraid it jumps around the fretboard some. If you figure out a better way to play it, (other than with two guitars, of course) please post it.
