----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whatever - Our Lady Peace ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist: Ourlady Peace Song: Whatever Tabbed by: ZeroisGreatman Tunning: DADGBE [Personal Note:](Ok, I like to point out that I haven't heard this song, ever in it's entirty[Hence the Intro only thing], however, I'm a huge wrestling fan of Chris Beniot, and I hear this song all the time whenever he comes out... So, sorry if I'm missing some parts of the song...) Intro: Now, there is a very unique technique to playing the intro. It requires a lot of sustain to pull off (so it would be a good idea to use a good amount of reverb and distortion). You have to play the D note as mentioned on the tab, but in order to make the sound after the note, you have to go to the 10th fret, and hold the note with your finger, but not push your finger down, just a slight bit of pressure. This way, when you try to strum that not, you have the sound effect of the note, without the actual playing of the note. I'll put an "p" where this note would be played.(I think this technique is called pitch harmonics, but I'm not exactly sure.) [Remember p= 10th fret noise] e|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|----------------------| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| D|-0-0-0-0-p--0-0-0-0-p-| e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| D|-0-0-0-0-p--0-0-0-0-p-0-p-| e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-------|(x2) A|-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-------| D|-0-0-0-0-p--0-0-0-0-p-0-p-| e|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|----------------------| D|----------------------| A|----------------------|(x2) D|-0-0-0-0-p--0-0-0-0-p-| Verse: Now, this is actually a bass riff, played with a whole bunch of wierd guitar pitches...I'll post both. You can play the bass riff with an octave pedal. "There's no holding me back" (Bass riff) G|------------------------------| D|------------------------------| A|------------------------------| D|-5-5-5-5-10--5-5-5-5-10--5-10-| (Guitar riff): This is sort of hard to play, remember the whole "p" note thing? Well, it's like that, I'll post the chords that you play...BUT DON'T ACTUALLY PLAY THEM, just put slight pressure, and let the sustain and distortion do the rest. e|-0----0----0----0-| B|-3----1----3----2-| G|-2----0----4----3-| D|-0----0----0----0-| A|------3----2----1-| D|------------------| Pre-chours: Same as the Intro Riffs Chorus: "But whatever you get..." e|-----------------------------------------| B|-6-6-6-6-6-6--8-8-8-8-8--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| G|-5-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| D|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| A|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| D|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| Post chorus riff: Ok, this is after the chorus is over...It's sort of like a slide between 2 D chords of 2 different octaves. You strum the first sort of broken D chord, but you don't actually strum the second one, you just slide to it, and use some vibrato, in order to play this note the way it sounds on the track. Sustain will help it make the noise sound better(or at least hear it being played.) e|-------| B|-3/15~-| G|-2/14~-| D|-------| A|-------| D|-------| Then the Intro repeats itself. This is like the first 45 secs - 1min of the song...So, it's mostly just the intro. Any who, any body who wants to add any comments, corrections, etc, Please feel free to do so. If you want to use my Intro tab, to put into a full version, it's ok, but please put my name on the tab you use. Anyway, I hope all of you Our lady of peace/Chris Beniot fans enjoy.
