311 - Plain

      
 
 Plain (311)
 done plainly by jeff terrel
 
 This starts out with an envelope filter or wah doing:
 
 Am C B 
    
 over until "tabula rasa" at (0:36) when it's:
 
 G Am G Am G Am Bm G 
         
 and back. When distortion pops in ("nod your head to this...") repeat:
 
 E F# G F# 
     
 then at (1:12) it does stuff with an Am, basically sliding or whatever.

 at [2:36] it adds to the same riff thing a --0--0~2-- fill on the G 
 

 string (!)

 For this riff you play an A5 power chord and slide down to and E5, then you
 slide up the neck on the E string all the way to the pickups. Listen to the
 song to get it right.
