Melodyssey-Aquaplane
Seeing as though I couldn't find any Melodyssey tabs anywhere, Idecided to make my own.
If there's only one Melodyssey song you'll like, it's this one. It's from their second
album, Distance & Regret, which is relatively difficult to buy in Australia,
so I gather that it would be next to impossible to get anywhere else.
Another great song from a great Aussie band. They are from the Sunshine Coast in
Queensland and regularly tour with The Butterfly Effect and COG.
The good thing is that they are still underground enough to write good music.
A bracket ( next to a note indicates palm muting.
Intro/Verse1:
(Take me to that mountain and I'll meet you at the top...)
E C#9
1 2 3 4
e|------------------4-------------|
B|--------5---------4-------------|
G|----4-----4-------6-------------|
D|--6---6-----6-----6-------------|
A|7-------------4---4-------------|
E|------------------0-------------|
The rhythm and arpeggiation used in this figure is varied, and some short interjections
are used. These shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you just listen carefully.
Just think of C to Am in the open position and move the shape up. There is also an
overdubbed chord in the left stereo channel. I think it might be an F#7 chord(?)

If you know the song, then you'll know the structure.
