Touch The Earth

"Touching the Earth" By James Murphy from the album "Convergence" Tab by Shane McFee kazrog@silcom.com http://silcom.com/~kazrog/ Updated 9-6-99 - Fixed a few mistakes in the tab. -Performance notes- Intro Guitar one plays this first part between the repeat brackets, and Guitar two plays the part between the second repeat brackets. Both parts play simultaneously. The part after the repeated bars is the lead guitar part (Guitar three). This guitar comes in after the first two repetitions of the rhythm parts. I did not tab out the entire intro lead, because the part after where my tab stops is basically the same. It shouldn't be hard to figure out by ear once you know the other part. Other sections of the song took priority over this... "Heavy" part After the intro, I have tabbed out the heavier part of the song. The first part is rhythm, second part is lead. These parts play at the same time in the song. Solos There are two guitar solos. The first starts at about 4:00 into the song, the second about 5:00 into the song. Look for patterns, and be sure and listen to the CD. General Notes THIS SONG USES DROPPED D TUNING. Look at the tuning diagram next to every line of tab. It won't sound right unless you tune right :) I am positive that I learned the song correctly, but I may have made some mistakes making the tab, such as getting strings mixed up, etc. If you find any errors, let me know. I can be reached at kazrog@silcom.com Bars are not always actual bars of music. Sometimes they are, sometimes not. I mainly put in bar lines here to mark phrasing. It should make sense. Also, look for patterns in the solos, particularly in any of James' fast triplet runs. They are almost always some kind of sequenced pattern. This will help you keep your head out of the tab and keep you trying to actually make this sound right and get it up to speed.
