Musicology chords & tab

OK...a challenge to my fellow musicians:

I'm sure we're all digging the new album. Let's see if we can start posting chord progressions and tab for each of the songs on the new album.

Who's going to get it started?

Cinnamon girl: key Bbm

verses:

G# F#
As war drums beats in babylon
G# Bbm
Cinnamon girl starts to pray


bridge: F# G#

chorus:

play the riff you hear the progression of the riff is the same as the verses but with some notes of passage

guitar solo:

C C# (with bends), then pentatonic improvisation resolving on F note, then some simple licks, the end of the solo isa difficult fast run starting on the firts 3 notes of the first shape of C#, then play the ionian fast scale and you have something very close to the solo.


It's the best i can do now, i hope it helps.

tomorrow i will try the marrying kind and if i was the man of your life. or a million days i wills ee, bye

Musicology is in the key of B.

Easy bass!! B to B (octave higher)

The guitar part is quite interesting...but then again it's our friend Prince's song! biggrin

Sorry i forgot about what i promised. eheh

Let´s see

A million days is in F,

verses: Dm C and Gm (Arpeggios with distorted guitar over the chords, the arpeggios notes aren´t exactaly the triad, just the Dm one

then Bb Gm Dm C Bb

then Gm Am Bb C

then it goes back to Dm C and Gm

the solo starts on the traditional shape of pentatonic over the verses, the notes played are D A F(bending to G) with a pitch effect then there´s a part i didn´t picked and then something close to this lick

e---18--17--15-----
b-----18--17--15--18--17--15-----
g-----17--15--14--17--15--14-----
a-----17--15--14-
d-----
e-----


you can play this sacle with more notes, it depends on how fast you can play, this is the most simple way to play the scale similiar to what he does. Play it very fast and don´t forget to use pitch shifter. i don´t knwo if this is all correct because i am at work and it was from the top of my head cause i was jamming over some sogns of musicology saturday. when i have time i will post more.

Something like:
C# F#m/A F# F#6/G#

Chorus:
F# C#/F F#/D# F#/F F#/F# F#/G F#/G#

Bridge:
F# F#m6/A A#m7 D# F#/D# F#/F F#/F# F#/G F#/G#

Tell me if it works smile
