Melt-Banana
"Creeps in a white cake"
>From Rough Trade 2002:Counterculture CD
Tabbed by Gavin (venus_in_furs@postmaster.co.uk)
Its all my own work!

Okay. I've sent some melt banana tabs into here before in standard tuning, 
but i've since read an interview with Agata (guitarist) where he said he 
uses open tuning, which makes sense when you think about all that 
bottleneck stuff. Whoops. So i'm using open G for this one, its only a 
rough guide cos, well, this songs pretty hectic, and whats more i don't 
have a pitch shifter so i can't do bits of it.
Indications of rhythm throughout are only approximate.


Intro

Play this chord with bottleneck
Heavy overdrive
Let it ring for a couple seconds then slide right up the neck and down
 again twice (it makes sense when you listen to the record)

d---x------------
B---2/--\--/--\--
G---2/--\--/--\--
D---2/--\--/--\--
G---2/--\--/--\--
D---x------------

The first half of the verse bit is pitch shifted, probably up 2 octaves (he 
uses a Boss ps-3 and/or a Digitech Whammy, fact fans) But i think its 
played something like this (again with the bottleneck)

d----------------------------
B----------------------------
G---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9\5/9--
D----------------------------
G----------------------------
D----------------------------

Then it goes into the heavy riff part of the verse

d--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G---3-3-3---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0--
D---3-3-3---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0--
G---3-3-3---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0---9-0-9-0--9-0--9-0--
D--------------------------------------------------


At what sounds like "kick it out of your trash"

d----------------
B----------------
G----------------
D---4-4-4-5-4-3--
G---4-4-4-5-4-3--
D---4-4-4-5-4-3--

Then its back into the pitch shifted bit, with some variations, then
the heavy riff again, and ends on the intro chord and sliding right up
the neck then slowly back down again.

I love this band...but they're not the easiest to tab...
