Artist: Puddle of Mudd Album: Come Clean Song: Blurry Tuned 1/2 step down: A = Ab This is the correct "harmonic" intro: C D ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- 3--------3-----3-----3-----3-----5-------5-----5-----5----5----- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Em ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 7-------7-----7-----7-----7-----7-------7-----7-----7-----7----- ---------------------------------------------------------------- The 5th string bass notes are played normaly and the balance are harmonics. I suggest playing the harmonics alone to get the pattern down first. Yep, the C is a stretch but can be done (dude must have some lanky fingers or wonder if maybe using a short scale guitar.) Referrencing a second "unplugged" acoustic version of this tune verifies that this is in fact all 1 part, not overdubbed or tuned funny. If you can't span 4 frets from 1st finger to pinky *yipe* then leave the bass notes to the bass and simply play the harmonics. Note there is that "extra" 2nd string harmonic thrown in immediately following the first C bass pluck, and the Em pattern changes slightly as shown... those aren't typos. Note too that you really need nice new lively bright strings for this to sound right... if you play it on dull dead strings you'll never carry it. It's one of the most clever 3 chord tunes around, the balance is pretty easy: Csus9 Dsus9 Em 3 5 7 3 5 8 5 7 9 5 7 9 3 5 7 Palm Mute.......... pm Vibrato............ ~ Slide up........... / Slide down......... \ ghost note......... () slide to but don't pick the note shown in parenthesis
