volcano tabs

[the professor]

can anyone give me some good volcano tabs?? the ones i've found do sound like it, but not really...if anyone can post some tabs along with a sorta decription of how to play it, that would b great smileys/smiley4.gif

is there something wrong with the tabs on this site, because there the ones we are using for the tribute and so far volcano sounds good,

[Scon]

I'm currently in the process of making an accurate Damien tabs site.
Most of the Volcano tabs out there are almost correct, but don't inlcude the hammer-on's he does to the open strings (which make a big difference to the sound).

[october]

sounds like a good idea, i hate tabs that are wrong

[Scon]

You mean every tab ever put on the internet? smileys/smiley17.gif

[Gatsby]

i still cant read tab... im so lazysmileys/smiley6.gif

[Scon]

Of course you can - anyone can :) It's not like notation where you have to learn it over a period of time... once you figure out what it's saying you'll always remember it (and it's basically just a diagram of the fret anyway).

[the professor]

ya, great idea. once its up post a link! i'd luv to c it.

[the professor]

ive finnally figured it out...this realates to the undercurrents version...

E -0
B -5h6
G -5
D -7
A X
E X

repeat this a couple times then slide the same fingering down to the fingers originally on the 5th fret r on the 3rd, then slide down to where the fingers were just on the 3rd fret are on the 1st. then hammer the b string from 1h2 repeat a couple times then slide back up. this is just the intro...but a good starting point. u should plam mute it, and the strumming pattern is pretty hard to get a hold of, so listin to the undercurrents volcano version to get it down. hope this helps some of u smileys/smiley4.gif

[the professor]

ok, theres the full tab to the undercurrents version:

note: the hammer ons and pull offs r slow

verse/ intro:

e 0 0/ 0 / 0
b 5h6p53/ 1h2h1 /3
g 5(x7)3 / 1 (x5) / 3(repeat for verse, only no
d 75 / 3/5 hammer ons or pull offs)
a XX XX
e XX XX



chorus:

e 0 / 0
b 5 /1 (x4)
g 5 / 1
d 7 / 3
a
e


'for wot i give to u is just wot im goin thru" bit


e---0---0---0---0---------------|
B---1---0---1---1---------\-3---|
G---0---1---2---2---------\-4---|
D---2---2---2---3---(x2)--\-5---|
A---3---2---0---3---------\-5---|
E-------0-------1---------\-3---|



its written kinda messy but o well, enjoy...

Not bad Pro.
He actually uses the full barre chord though rather than just 3 strings of it. The pull off is releasing the top 3 strings into open strings, and he also does a pull off/hammer on the low e.
I really need to get the time to tab the whole thing out properly.
I only have Eskimo done out fully at the moment.

You got the chorus spot on smileys/smiley1.gif Edited by: Scon

[the professor]

id like to c the tab u have for eskimo! smileys/smiley4.gif

[neil_eats]

the tab for eskimo thats on this site is spot on the tabs u both did for the undercurrents version arent doing it for me ive found my own way of doing it.


e 01 0
b 1h3p10 1 g202p0h2 d20 3
a X23 e X3 X


then instead of doing another g chord to return to the Am side the low E stringfrom F(1st fret) to B(7th fret) then back intoit.

[neil_eats]

bloody hell, if you copy and paste what i wrote into the reply box magically it makes perfect sence.

[Scon]

The Eskimo tab on this site is pretty damn good, but it's missing a lot. Also, there are no hammer-on's or pull-off's as it suggests. At this stage I believe I have my tab 100% accurate to how Damien plays it on the album. I'll post it soon (I was hoping to get a few songs out at once).

[the professor]

ya, i always thought those hammer ons and pull offs didn't fit in the song. sounds a lil weird to me tho, i dunno if its just me or what.

[destrael]

In all of the online video that I've seen, he uses his thumb over the top to fret the 6th string. It isn't a full bar chord either.. usually the high b and e are open I think... not sure, but the hammers (how I remember them) were mostly on the g. He uses his thumb like this on a lot of his songs.

[Scon]

That's what I've noted too, though he does use a full barre in the song quite a bit. He hammers the g using his pinky first, then later hammers with his middle finger.
