Smith) Date: 16 Jul 1995 17:21:58 GMT Subject: TAB: Silence by the Tea Party Here's something I've been working at for a little while now. Song: B LENCE Artist: THE TEA PARTY Tabbed by: KRIST SE TH E|-----------------------| This song uses another cool tuning (I think it's something like open Gsus2/D or something): e tuned down to d B tuned down to A G left the same D left the same A tuned down to G E tuned down to D There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong. This is just MY interpretation. The timing is probably wrong (I'm not that good). It's just four dashes (-) for every quarter note. This is just a guess, but I think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).
