Song: Dynamite Walls
Artist: Hayden
Tabbed by: Tom Benner
There are a few other tabs of this song floating around, but it seemed
like some had some holes in them, so here's my shot at it. You don't
really need to tune down a step to get this stuff to sound good--standard
tuning'll do you just fine.
Start off with an A:
----------------|
----------------|
----------------|
----------------|
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
----------------|
Then there's this part, which you can fret a couple of different ways:
-0--0--0------------------------|
---------------2--2--2----------|
-1--2--4-------2--1-------------|
---------------------2----------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
or
--------------------------------|
-5--5--5------------------------|
-------4-------6--6--6----------|
-6--7----------7--6-------------|
---------------------7----------|
--------------------------------|
Then mess around with something like this for a while:
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
-4-----6-6-----4-2-4-6-6--------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
Right before the drums come in, there's an E note which you can play on
the B string, fifth fret, or just on the high E string, open.
And just before the vocals start, there's a little fill that goes like
this:
------------------------0-4-5---|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
And then the verse is mostly just an A chord with a 9th added on and off:
--------------------------------|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
2-2-4-2-4-2-2-2-2-2-4-2-4-2-2-2-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
--------------------------------|
Over that there's a high part that goes something like this:
5------4-------4-------0--------|
--------------------------------|
6------4-------4-------2--------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
(each of those is on the upbeat of beat 4)
The chorus is just these chords (held for 4 beats each):
D E A ("Miles away...it doesn't")
D E A A ("matter what...We'll never"--hold the A for eight beats
from "us is looking for" through "We'll never")
D E A ("find it...even there")
On the first A of the chorus, you can also add the bass note in and
do this instead of just an open A:
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
4-4-2-2-0-0-0-0-|
----------------|
And you can also play an A/C# (x42220) instead of the third A ("We'll
never").
For that whole crazy part near the end, the most important thing is to
keep chuggin on that A chord and somehow add in a descending line that
goes A G# G# E, each note starting on the upbeat of beat 4. This should
probably do it, but you can mess around with other voicings if you like:
5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
----------------------------------------------------------------|
The crazy distorted notes are mostly all in the A major scale if you're
insane and want to do that solo verbatim. I wouldn't though--making a
whole bunch of noise and weird feedback is way cooler.
Alright, that's basically it. Have fun with it.
