El Ten Eleven - My Only Swerving Chords & Tabs

My Only Swerving tab

 First amazing song of their first self titled album, "El Ten Eleven."
Any questions email me @ ContraryFlunky17@yahoo.com. I'll just
list the separate loops and effects that he uses.

| /  slide up
| \  slide down
| h  hammer-on
| p  pull-off
| ~  vibrato
| +  harmonic
| x  Mute note


Double neck tuning: Guitar-EADAG#Bd# Bass-EADA


First Loop, no effects.


A|----17----17----17-17----17----17--17----17----17--17----17-----|
D|------16----16-------16----16--------16----16--------16---------|
A|------------------0--------------14~----------------------------|
E|---0---------------------------------------------14~------------|

This next loop he uses a Digitech XP-100 Whammy-Wah pedal to go Up a 5th and tilting the
pedal down will make it go up an Octave,while still holding the original note sound, if
that makes sense, hah. The up and down is which way to tilt the pedal. Timings tricky.

A|---19(DOWN-UP)---16(UP-DOWN)---18(HOLD DOWN)---14(UP-DOWN)------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------|

In the live version Kristian plays the guitar loop instead of playing the bass line
first. Use distortion and tremolo.

 B|--------12~~~~-------------------12~~~~-------|

D|------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then it goes back into the first loop and play the varied bass line again
and repeat the Chorus again. Hope I helped!
