The Bell & The ButterflyThe strangley named insrumental from 'Wonderland'. The Charlatans'instrumentals are always outstanding, and this is no exception, with it'smonster drum loops and growling bass line. Okay so it is a bass solo, butI like it so much I've tabbed it anyway - you could play it with anoctave-distortion pedal to put it down into the sub-sonic depths, or youcould just borrow someone's bass, it needs to be put through a normalguitar amp anyway to get the overdriven sound, it's not just your averagebass-fuzz, in fact it sounds like authentic speakers-slashed-with-a-carpet-kife distortion. Luckily we had a knackered old amp at collegewith torn speakers but I managed to blow it by playing this too loud!The song is made up of 3 main riffs:1)+ . . .G|-------------------| D|-------------------| A|---------6---------| E|---4-----------2---|2)+ . . . + . . .G|------------------|---------------| D|------------------|---------------| A|------------------|---2-4-2-4-----| E|--4-4-2-4---2---4-|---------------|+ . . . + . . .G|------------------|---------------| D|------------------|---------------| A|--4-4-2-4---2---2-|-4-2-----------| E|------------------|-----4-2-4-----|3)+ . . . + . . .G|------------------|---------------| D|-/6-4-------------|---------------| A|--------4---------|-4-2-----------| E|------------------|-------4-------|That's all. Stick 'em together in the right order yourself. The endingis just the first bar of riff 2 repeated. This is a good one to get peopledancing at a gig if your audience are looking a bit bored of endlessColdplay covers, but you'll need a pretty good drummer.For questions, corrections or requests, e-mail me onRumours that The Charlatans have turned into Sly And The Family Rolling Stonewere immediately denounced by the band as 'just a bit daft, really.'July 2001
