Song: Learning to Fly
Transcribed by : Matt Teeter (matst103@pitt.edu)
Note: These guys are disgustingly exceptional guitarists
and there may be a 3rd guitar thrown in there I am missing
but here goes.
Guitar 1 is Tom's acoustic 12 string
this repeats throughout the entire song
F C Am G something
e--1-- --0-- --0-- --3--
b--1-- --1-- --1-- --0--
g--2-- --0-- --2-- --0--
d--3-- --2-- --2-- --0--
a--3-- --3-- --0-- --X--
e--X-- --X-- --X-- --X--
For the buildup to the solo as well as the little breakdown
thing close to the end (at 2:48) Tom just hangs on the G chord
the strumming for the breakdown is
FFFFF C AAAAA G FFFFF C AAAAA G
The C's and G's are only strummed once
Guitar 2 is an electric on clean channel with really heavy
echo/chorus effect of some sort
During the Intro and verse it plays this:
F C Am G
E--------------------------------
B------1---1-----1---1--0--1-0-1-
G-2-0----0---0-0---0-------------
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E--------------------------------
During the chorus it is much louder and changes to this:
F C Am G
E----------------------------
B---1~~~~~~~~~~~----1-----0~~
G-0-------------------2-0----
D----------------(2)---------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
the note in () is NOT played in the song, but either way sounds fine
