Mad World ========= *Arranged for easy guitar duet by L.Hutchings *Simple lil' piano song featured in the rather weird movie 'Donnie Darko'. *Originally by Tears for Fears. *Covered recently by Gary Jules/Michael Andrews *The original is in F-minor, but to make it easier for beginners *I have shifted it into E minor. *This tune uses the Dorian mode to great affect. That is what *gives it, its 'flavor' or 'mood' . *A lot of (musical unknowledgable) people comment on how they love *this song and they dont realise *that the reason they like it, is coz of the mode. *To save space etc, i've only included the strings that are actually used. *I dont particularly care for the tune personally, but its for the benefit of those *that do like it Guitar 1: Intro (piano tune) (E)1|-0---7--2--3--0--2--------|-0----7--2--3--0--2--3--5---| (B)2|--------------------3--2--|----------------------------| (G)3| (D)4| (Singing tune Melody) (E)1|-------------------------------|------------------------------------| (B)2|-------------------0--0---0----|------------------------------------| (G)3|--------0--0-----------------0-|-2--2--2--------2--2--2----0--------| (D)4|--2--2--------2--2-------------|-----------4------------------4--2--| (you can also play it an octave higher (12 frets higher), to 'cut-through' more) Guitar 2: Intro backing chords ( - to be played along with Guitar 1 Intro) *Note, its important to let the lowest notes 'ring-on' coz these are the *bass notes, i have highlighted them with an up arrow (^)for extra clarity.
