As the song progresses, Trey uses less and less muting, so use your judgment. Here are a few of the chords I've heard Trey "funk around on" to fill this space with: E7+9 Em7+9 E---------14---------------- B---9-----12---------------- G---7-----12---------------- D---8-----12---------------- A---7----------------------- E---------12---------------- E7 A Come stumble my mirth beaten worker A7 I'm Jezmund the family berzerker E7 A I'm bought for the price of a flagon of rice The wind buffs the cabin You speak of your life E7 Or more willingly Locust the Lurker ...and so on. Follow this pattern for the verse using your right palm the mute the sound and in between lines let it lose and crank it out real loud. The chorus goes G A But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned G E7 As I sat in their chairs 'til my synapses burned G A And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue G A Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun G A All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone G Can't this wait till I'm old? (use main riff) Can't I live while I'm young? (use main riff) Can't I live while I'm young? It then goes on with E to A to G tickle CHALKDUST TORTURE SOLO Written by: Trey Anastasio Tabbed by: Chris Temeles CASUITE211@aol.com This solo is all about timely bends, release, and a little vibrato. 15^ means bend, 15^(15) means bend and release, # above means degree of bend(1/2, 1, etc.) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 e-----------------------------------15^--15^---12--15p12--------------- b---15^---15^(15)---12---15^~~~----------------------------15^(15)15^~- g---------------------------------------------------------------------- d---------------------------------------------------------------------- a---------------------------------------------------------------------- e---------------------------------------------------------------------- ½ ½ ½ ½ e---------------------------------------------------------------------- b---------------------------------------------------------------------- g---6^---6^(6)--6^(6)~----6^(6)~>slow slide/gliss>19------------------- d---------------------------------------------------------------------- a---This is definitely not what Trey does here.
