------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACK RIVER KILLER - Blitzen Trapper ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Mikey Smalls E-mail: lojavdu@gmail.com This is a great song. I couldn't find any tabs that were quite right, so I transcribed it by ear from a live studio session I found on YouTube. Note that this version is played with a capo on the 5th fret, but the version that the official music video for the song uses is played with no capo and sounds slightly different. This is the main riff for the song; he changes it up throughout but you can play around with it to make it your own. I think this is as close to perfect as you can come for the main structure of the song though. Enjoy! I've posted a video lesson on YouTube for this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWoE4FVOMWc&feature=youtu.be Tuning: Standard Am Em C G D e|---------------------------------2-0h2-------------------------------------| B|--1----------0-----------1--2----3-----------------------------------------| G|--2----------0----------0----0--2-2----------------------------------------| D|-------0h2--------0h2--2---0---0-------------------------------------------| A|0--------------0h2----3----------------------------------------------------| E|----0h3----0--------------3------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
