Song: Atlanta
Artist: Strawhorse
Tabbed by: zebatov
Tuning: BEADGBe
I tabbed this on my Ibanez RG7321. I got sick of not finding any (decent)
tabs for it. As such, you will not be able to play this tab without a seven
string guitar. Unless you tune your six down death-low to BEADGb.
Note: At the start it fades in, and you can hear the B5 from a section before
the intro section I have tabbed starts. So really, it probably plays four
times, but you can only hear the last one (or two) chord(s) of it.
Legend:
o = open wah (toe up)
+ = closed wah (toe down)
o/+ = rock foot heel to toe
< > = notes inside these are harmonics
d = pick down
u = pick up
/ = slide up
? = Wtf mate. There's definitely some notes in there, I just can't
for the life of me figure out what they are. It's a "high
pitch" sound, almost like they clipped a harmonic point
on another string. Might also be a second guitar with wah.
They key of the note, I think, is C#. If you can figure it
out, props. If not, just continue hitting E5.
Intro (0:00)
Note: There is a sound played overtop of this that reminds me of a UFO. I was
sort of able to recreate it by bending (with vibrato at the same time) the
sixth string up a full step around the 17th fret. It wasn't exact so I'm
leaving it out of the tab. Make funny noises with your mouth or something.

Bridge (1:39)
Note: The effects are heard again, louder this time. Sounds like half step
bends up in an off harmony, or hammering on and off of:
B-0h1p0h1p0
G-0h1p0h1p0
followed by sliding up the neck with heavy delay and effects. It
comes in basically at the same time as the C#5 below.

Note: I wasn't even going to tab this solo out because it's so easy. I did it
anyways because, well... It's so easy. I'm not tabbing the wah for it.
This isn't exactly a beginner's song, and those who have a wah will
want to improvise anyways.

Note: The slide from G5 to F#5 isn't very distinct, or defined. The best way
I can describe it is that he slides to "nothing", but not lower than the 2nd
fret, if that makes sense. If you're confused, just listen to the song.
Note: The E5, F#5 and G5 are actually played on the seventh string at the 5th
7th and 8th frets, respectively. This is apparent due to the strings scraping
from his fingers when sliding up from the C#5. I tabbed it this way because
it's easier and I find it sounds nicer.

Lead starts while C#5 rings out.
(This is actually more of a synth
chime, but thought I'd include it
anyways. Notes match the chorus
vocals.)

PM . . .
I tried to be as detailed clear as possible in writing this tab (that's why I
included notes, chord names, times etc.), so all levels of guitarists could
enjoy it.
