Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots
Sex Type Thing
First off, there's the signature riff of the song. The best way to play it
is by keeping your pinky on the 7th fret of the A string the whole time and
using your ring, middle, and index fingers on the rest of the notes in
whatever pattern is comfortable for you. But believe me, the pinky on the
7th fret creates a cool pedal-tone that sounds really close to the recorded
version. Here's the riff:
e|-|------------------------------||
B|-|------------------------------||
G|-|------------------------------||
D|-|------------------------------||
A|-|---7-7---7---7---7-7-7-7------||
E|-|-0-7-7-0-6-0-5-0-3-3-5-3-0----||
Now, there's also a second guitar part played at the same time as the
signature riff. If you listen close you can hear it. It sounds quite a
bit like the following:
e|-|-----0-------0--------0-------0------||
B|-|---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0----||
G|-|-4-------3--------2-------0----------||
D|-|-------------------------------------||
A|-|-------------------------------------||
E|-|-------------------------------------||
Then, when the verses come in, there's this simple, 2 chord riff. (If ya'
wanna get technical, I think the chords are F#5/E and F#5.) I'm not very
good at writing it out "in rhythm" so just listen to the song and you'll
get the gist of it:
e|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
B|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
G|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
D|-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x----||
A|-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x----||
E|-|-0-2--0-2-x-x-x-|-x-0-2-2-0--2-x-0-|-(0)--2-2--0--2--x--x-x----||
Ah, but there's ALSO that cool ascending and descending harmonic thing,
right? Right. Well, all you gotta do is lightly touch the E string at
about the 3rd fret and pick 4 times (in rhythm) while gradually moving
your finger toward the 1st fret. That's the ascending harmonic part; for
the descending, just reverse your direction.
Ascending: DEscending:
e|-|-----------------||--------------------||
B|-|-----------------||--------------------||
G|-|-----------------||--------------------||
D|-|-----------------||--------------------||
A|-|-----------------||--------------------||
E|-|-*3*-*2*-*2*-*1*-||-*1*-*1*-*2*-*3*----||
(natural harm.) (natural harm.)
Then, for the "chorus" ("I know you want what's on my mind..." etc.) it's
just standard power chords (5th's). Here's how to finger them:
B A D/A
e|-|---|---|-----||
B|-|---|---|-3---||
G|-|-4-|-2-|-2---||
D|-|-4-|-2-|-0---||
A|-|-2-|-0-|-0---||
E|-|---|---|-----||
And HERE's where they go:
B A D/A A B
I know you want what's on my mind,
B A D/A A B
I know you'll like what's on my mind,
B A D/A A B
I know it eats you up inside,
B A D/A
I know you know, you know, you know.
After the second "chorus", you go straight into this nifty riff. It's a
simple moving-chord-shape. I use my middle and ring fingers to do this:
e|-|-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---||
B|-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---||
G|-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---||
D|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
A|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
The song's pretty repetitive. Just piece it
together from what I have here and you should be okay. There's no solo
I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get close to you
You wouldnt want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?
I aint, I aint, I aint
A buyin into your apathy
Im gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
I know you want whats on my mind
I know you like whats on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
I am a man, a man
Ill give ya somethin that ya wont forget
I said ya shouldnt have worn that dress
I said ya shouldnt have worn that dress
I know you want whats on my mind
I know you like whats on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
Here I come, I come, I come
I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get close to you
You wouldnt want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?
I know you want whats on my mind
I know you like whats on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
I know you want whats on my mind
I know you like whats on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come

version 4
This is just the bridge of the song "I believe its the bridge" because every
tab was fairly accurate until it got to this part. Listen to the song to get
the rhythm down because I had a little trouble tabbing how long you stayed
on each chord.
