********************************************************************************
* The syllables of Keenan's lyrics in the verses form parts of the Fibonacci *
* sequence. The number of syllables progress from the 1st to the 6th step of *
* the sequence, descends down to the 1st step, up to the 7th step, and *
* finally back down to the 4th step. By the way did you notice how the time *
* signatures of the chorus relates to the 16th step of the sequence, which *
* is the number of "987"? *
* *
* The Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, *
* 377, 610, 987... *

* The Fibonacci sequence shares some mathematical relations with Phi (it's a *
* bit complex...!), which is a mystic number that many structures in nature *
* are designed from. It is somehow used to describe the introvert progression *
* of a spiral. Maynard mentions spirals a couple of times later, doesn't he? *
* Another theory is the order of colours seen on an LSD trip. Alex Grey *
* (the Rather spiritualistic artist who did the album artwork) stated when *
* he closed his eyes on an LSD trip, he saw a black and white spiral, *
* and when he tried it a few more times it became a red and yellow spiral. *

3rd Chorus:
Similar to the other choruses, just quit the first round.
" Over thinking, over analyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind "
1st Guitar Solo:
Similar to the 1st and 2nd Chorus, just swap the second and third round around.
Post-Chorus:
Play then first round of a Chorus, then this:

(this is exactly the same riff as in the intro, so don't be stunned by the look
of "12/16", it's just another way of indicating shuffled 4/4, but beacause of
the poly-rhythmic drum rhythms in 5/8... but I'd rather ignore that :)

Bass I uses a whammy pedal set to lift the note 1 octave, while Bass II's whammy
pedal lifts the note 2 octaves.
Strum the note with the pedal down and relese the pedal. For those who don't have
a whammy pedal, you can slide down from the notes in the brackets to obtain a
sound rather close to the whammy sound. The lower brackets are the notes of
Bass I, while the upper brackets are the notes of Bass II.

|-------------------------------- Tablature Guide --------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(created by Maitinin, copy this as much as you'd like
to, but please don't forget to credit me, thank you!)
Tablatures (tabs) are an alternative way of writing the good old music sheets
in a standard text program! There are six horizontal lines and there are six
strings on your guitar... see some connection there? The low E-string is the
lowest line in the tab chart. The number indicated on the particular string is
the fret you are to play. "1" means to play at the fret closest to the neck, "0"
means to play the string open, x means to pick the string, while it is muted.
The bar lines look like this (as they also did in 1764):
Q=115 bpm
4/4
Gtr I
3x
|------------| ||------------------|| :------------:
|------------| ||o----------------o|| :------------:
|------------| ||------------------|| :------------:
|------------| ||------------------|| :------------:
|------------| ||o----------------o|| :------------:
|------------| ||------------------|| :------------:
...the first bar is the standard bar and indicates a single measure or bar. The
second one means to repeat something. "3x" means to PLAY the bar 3 times, not to
repeat it 3 times, which it is confused with often. The third one means free time,
but in popular it is rarely used for anything else than endings in songs, where the
timing of the ending isn't fully decided. Above the first bar it says "Q=115 bpm",
which is an indication for tempo. It means that during a minute there are 115
quarter beats ("bpm" stands for beats-per-minute). Below is the time signature
indicated.
"Gtr 1" indicated, which guitar is playing the particular part. In the beginning of
a tab is a short presentation of which guitars are playing in the song, in which
tuning the guitars are, and what effects are used, for instance:
Gtr IV (E A D G B E) - David Gilmour - clean electric w/flanger
Above every note in the tab charts, there is a letter. That is a rhythm indication.
These are the lengths of the notes the letters represent:
W = Whole note (4/4)
H = Half note (2/4)
Q = Quarter note (1/4)
E = 8th-part note (1/8)
S = 16th-part note (1/16)
T = 32nd-part note (1/32)
X = 64th-part note (1/64)
a = Grace note (acciaccatura)
When there is no note beneath the 'rhythm-letter', it means to rest for the
indicated time. When the letter is un-capitalized, it means that it is only half
of its length (staccato).
When the note is in brackets and there is a "+" in front of the letter above,
The note is "tied" to the previous note. It simply means that the note in brackets
is an extension of the previous note, so E +E = Q
When there is a dot behind the letter, it means that the letter is extended with
half of its own length, so E. = E +S
When there are two dots behind the letter, it means to extend the note with half of
its own length and half of the extension. It could be said simpler that the note is
extended with 3/4 its length, so Q.. = Q +E +S
|-3-| above the letters means that the letters beneath the line are triplets.
|-10-| equally means that the letters are dituplets... in case you can play that :P
Inside the tab chart there are lots of symbols/letters that indicate techniques
for the note they're connected to, I won't go into depth with each technique as
this is yet only a guide of understanding the tab, not the guitar. Here it is:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
r = release bend
pb = pre-bend
s = slide
/ \ = slide (unspecified target note)
= natural harmonic
[n] = artificial harmonic
~ = vibrato
tr = trill
T = tap
TP = tremolo picking
PM = palm mute
\n/ = tremolo bar
= = connection devise for hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides
...That's about it, I think. I hope you will have good use of this!
