Band: Sunset Rubdown
Song: Stallion
Album: Random Spirit Lover
Tabbed By: Dave Sheehan (daveys14@hotmail.com)
NOTE: This song is mostly done on keyboard so
what I've tabbed below is partly keyboard and
partly guitar. I'll mention which parts are played on
which instrument so that you can choose whether
to play them or not.
The tab is laid out in the order
of the song.
PLEASE rate this tab :)

NOTE: This next bit can be done 3 ways. The keyboard is listed first,
next is the vocal harmony and finally there's the actual guitar.
(1.) Keyboard (2.) Vocal melody
e|-------------------------------------------|--------------|
B|-911-911-911-79-79-79----------------------|--9--11-9-7---|
G|----------------------811-811-811-68-68-68-|------------8-| (start tremolo
D|-------------------------------------------|--------------| picking from
A|-------------------------------------------|--------------| last note)
E|-------------------------------------------|--------------|
|-Abm---------------------------------------|
(3.) Actual way
e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|-------------------88888888888888888888-| (build up at end
D|----------------------------------------| with tremolo picking)
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
=====================
EPIC TREMOLO PICK BIT (played on guitar, obviously)
=====================
Tremolo pick all notes - listen for the rhythm!
e|--------------------------10----2--------14/17-------------------|
B|-2------5-----9-------12-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---------11-----13----9--|
B|-4-----------------------| (After this, the guitarist
G|-------------------------| slides up and down the E string very
D|-------------------------| slowly at the pickup end of the neck)
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
========
BRIDGE 2 (played on keyboard)
========
e|-------------------------------|
B|-7---5-------------------------|
G|---------6---9---4---6---2---4-|
D|-------------------------------|

VERSE 3

E|-5--5/2------1---5---5/2------1---------1------------3-3-5--|
e|------------------------------------------|

D|------------------------------------------|
A|------3---3h5-------------3---3h5---------|
E|-1------------3-3-5---1-----------3--3--5-|
======
CHORUS
======
NOTE: Keyboard plays the previous intro / chorus riff.
Guitar tremolo picks the notes below:
e|-14------12---| (play this twice)
B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
========
"SOLO" (I use this term very liberally here)
========
e|----19----19-17----16-14----19-17-12-14-12----16-14----12-10----9-7---|
B|-14----14-------17-------14----------------14-------14-------10-----7-|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
(there's a slight bit between the previous chorus and this which
I haven't tabbed - it sounds like the chorus keyboard riff or a variation
done an octave lower)
=====
OUTRO (keyboard)
=====
e|-------11------------------|--------------|
B|-4-------------11----14----|--9--11-9-7---|
G|---------------------------|------------8-|
D|---------------------------|--------------|
A|---------------------------|--------------|
E|---------------------------|--------------|
The left hand chord here is--|-Ab-----------|
The rest of the chords are: Ab, F#, Em, Em, C, F, Fm, F.
That's all. This tab took me forever but it's pretty satisfying to have it all figured out.
Enjoy! :)
