===========Temptation by The Tea Party
>From ³Transmission²
tabbed by matt (bigben@infobahnos.com)
Iıve seen them play this song live on television a couple of times so Iıll
tab out some live parts as well as the one (or two) parts on the album.
Main Riff
E-------------------
B-------------------
G-------------------
D-------------------
A-------------------
E-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-
You play this riff at the beginning and when Jeff screams ³TEMPTATION!²
Bridge Riff
We exist..........
E-------------------
B-------------------
G-------------------
D-------------------
A-------------------
E--3---3---3---3----
This riff is followed by the main riff. Iım not sure if this could be a
synth but this it what it sounds like.
Verse Riff (Live)
E-----0h3-2h3-2p0---
B-------------------
G-3h4---------------
D-------------------
A-------------------
E-------------------
I think that this is played on a synth on the album version but when they
play it live Jeff plays this. Right before the interlude, it getıs quieter
and Jeff plays this with a delay(?) as written above a couple of times, and
then an octave up a couple of times.
Interlude (live)
Jeff messes around with the main riff for a bit, does several rhythm
variations.
Solo (live)
E-----0h3-2h3-2p0-----0h3-2h3-2p0-----------------
B---------------------------------3p0-2p0-3p0-2p0-
G-3h4-------------3h4-----------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------
Jeff plays this twice with the wah pedal and then fools around with one of
his exotic scales based around these notes. He then plays this a couple of
times:
E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G-3-4-4b6r4-3--4-6-6b7r6-4-
D--------------------------
A--------------------------
E--------------------------
Itıs a pretty wicked song live. They stretch it from about two and a half
minutes (without the acoustic beginning) to about five and a half minutes
when live. Thereıs other parts I might have heard but they change it a lot
live so Iıve given you the basic structure. It rocks!
have fun with this
