ANDROGYNOUS MIND

tabbed by chris lawrence

Thurston: EGDGED  Lee: GGCGCD

Thurston's riff: Play thru most of the song:

D-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------
G-7--X-X--0-7-6--X-X--0-0-0-9--X-X--0-9-8--X-X--7-7-7-7-----
D-7--X-X--0-7-6--X-X--0-0-0-9--X-X--0-9-8--X-X--7-7-7-7-----
G-7--X-X--0-7-6--X-X--0-0-0-9--X-X--0-9-8--X-X--7-7-7-7-----
E-----------------------------------------------------------

Lee's part, much like on Bone, is far more complicated. I'm sure I
screwed up too many times to count but this is what I got:

A lot of notes have delay and trem bar effects on them, so experiment.

  Bend furiously with trem bar

At 1:53 Lee turns on a phaser, then at 2:07 plays:

D---19---17---19--(bend up!!!)-----
C---//--------//-------------------
G---//--------//-------------------
C----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
G----------------------------------

Trem pick the 19's and play the 17 briefly, then bend the second 19 up.
Lee plays this a few times, then dissolves into total noise. Use lots
of feedback, delay, phaser, and wild trem bar effects.

Then, when it gets quiet:

 2:37               ****  2:47      2:51          2:57
D-------------------     ------------------------------------------------
C-------------------     ------------------------------------------------
G-------------------     ------------------------------------------------
C-----------7---10--     ---7\\10-----7\\5\\7\\10----------*7*(harmonic)-----
G--4---7------------     ------------------------7--5--------------------
G--4---7------------     ------------------------------------------------

Notes aren't picked, just fretted and sustained. Where the **** Lee "plays" some hand slides.

  3:04       3:10                       3:18              3:23
