Song: Winter Artist: Tori Amos Album: Little Earthquakes Tabber: oliverchainsaw (jackdaw1055@hotmail.com) Date: July 18, 2001 Okay...here's a version of Winter because all of the ones I found when I went looking really really sucked. So...here's something that I hope is a bit more helpful than what is out there presently. It's fingerstyle of course, capo'ed at the 11th fret if you've got one handy. If not, then you can still make it work from the natural root but I'm sure it sounds nicer from the eleventh. (Though I really don't know as I haven't been able to find my capo...) I may post a more 'guitaristic' arrangement in the next couple of days but I wanted to get something at least half-ass decent out there in the meantime. Well, that, and to see if anyone around here is actually interested in a tab of something like this before I put hideous work into it. A few notes: E-5- E-0- This actually sounds better in B-5- can be played as B--- some places even though its wrong G-2- G-2- as hell in some of those places. Play around with strumming/rolling/brushing: 1) the E-minor stuff that starts each iteration of the theme riff. (i.e. measures 1 & 3) 2) C-sus stuff that begins each last measure of the theme riff. (i.e. measure 4) 3) Some of the 'big' chords toward the middle and end. For instance, an alternate way to play the 3rd/4th measures would be: | | | | | | | | |--------0---0-2-5-------0---2---|3-----2-----0-------------------| |--------0-------3---------------|3-------1---0-----------0-------| |--------0---------------2-------|0---0-------2-------2-----------| |--------2-----------4-----------|2-----------2---------------0h2-| |----2-----------2---------------|3-----------0-------------------| |0-------------------------------|--------------------------------| Listen to the song closely as the phrasing is impossible to really express with tab and and I've not even really tried. Some of the things that look like pinches in the tab should really be brushed or rolled. Dynamics are important too as she brings different notes from the same voicing to the front each time she cycles through the theme. Her playing is really unfriendly to transcription. The middle and middle-end are pretty terrible at this point (there's some pretty obscenely wrong guesswork going on in a couple spots) but... I'll fix them within a day or so. Comments or suggestions please mail me at jackdaw1055@hotmail.com. Especially if you've got some clue about an arrangement for the middle or middle/end parts. You'll save me much excruciating work if you do and I will worship you forever and ever and all that stuff.
