Band: Bloc Party Song: Price of Gas Album: Silent Alarm Tabber: DenisDeLeukste This song is filled with effects. I don’t quite know what kind of mix of effects it is but I believe it’s some sort of mix of delay and a little bit of flanger and some kind of harmonics or sorts. Intro |-------------------------| |-------------------------| (Play with some play muting and real quick, |--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--------| also put a bit delay and lots of reverb in it) |-------------------------| |-------------------------| x8 |-------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-9-9-8-8--| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x4 |-----------------------------------| Guitar One |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-9-9-8-8--| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x2 |-----------------------------------| | |Guitar Two |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-8-8-8-8--| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x2 |-----------------------------------| Guitar One |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-9-9-8-8--| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x1 |-----------------------------------| | |Guitar Two |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-9-9-8-8--| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x1 |-----------------------------------| Guitar One |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-----------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x1 |-----------------------------------| | |Guitar Two |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2~~---1~----| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| x1 |-----------------------------------| I've been driving, a mid sized car, I never hurt anyone Is that a fact?

|--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| The next part is rather hard to find because I couldn’t hear Guitar One very good. He plays, I think, the same sort of riff as Guitar Two but it sounds higher or with another effect. These are the parts for Guitar Two. You have to play very fast. Probably there are also several effects but I wouldn’t know which effects they use. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
