Tablature

----------------------
Bassline provided for timing of the harmonics during the intro
Jimmy played this on a Gibson Les Paul
*Intro*(pickups set to Treble)
Guitar(all guitar here is natural harmonics)
(With wah)

At this point the guitar is pretty much the same as the bass
so only the guitar is tabbed here.
*Main Riff*
Here are two variations of the main riff
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-------------------------------------------
a|---0--10--9--8--7\----5--4--3--2-----------
E|-0-----------------------------------------
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-------------------------------------------
a|---0--10--9--7b--7\----5--4--2b--2---------
E|-0-----------------------------------------
In Jimmy's live performances he often plays this variation.
I think it sounds great so I've included it here. Experiment.
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-------------------------------------------
a|---0--14--13--12--10\----5--4--3--2--------
E|-0-----------------------------------------
the main riff is played 3 times and then it transitons into:
*Fill*
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-----------7h9-------------7h9-------------
a|--9-9-9-7h9---7h9-9-9-9-7h9---7h9----------
E|--7-7-7-----------7-7-7--------------------
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-----------7h9-------------7h9-------------
a|--9-9-9-7h9---7h9-9-9-9-7h9---7h9--7-------
E|--7-7-7-----------7-7-7------------7-------
After this fill the main riff is played 4 more times, followed
by the fill again
Then the lead in on the bow solo:
Semi-P.M.
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------------------------------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-----------5-5-5---------------------------
a|-7-7-7--5--------7-------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------
That's all there is in the studio version, but it can be extended to
however long and the d string on the 7th fret can also be used.
OK. Here is the coolest part of the song, the bow solo. I would tab
out the studio version, but there is so much delay and overdubbing
that it is nearly impossible to play. So, what I will do is tab out
various solo methods that Jimmy uses in his live performances and let
you patch together what sections you like.
Ok, Here we go.
With bow, reverb

In Jimmy's live performances there is a section where he stops and plays
by striking the strings sharply with the bowstrings.
These chords are played in barre form, with a delay set at up to 1 second.

Dazed And Confused in its entirety. Now if you'll exscuse me, I'm a little
dazed and confused right now.
Please, any errors, suggestions, criticism, requests and feedback, esp. on the
bow solo parts, is welcome and greatly appreciated. Email me at:
