Northwestern Girls by Say Hi To Your Mom
Northwestern Girls
Tuning: D A D G B e (DROP D)
MAIN RIFF
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------5-----5---------9-----9---------0-----0---------2-----2-----------|
|--5-5---5-5---5-5-9-9---9-9---9-9-0-0---0-0---0-0-2-2---2-2---2-2-------|
After the guitar plays that twice over, this comes in on an keyboard of something (you
play it on an electric guitar too). Listen to the rhythm on the song:
RIFF ONE
|------7-10----7-10-----|
|-7h10------ 7----------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
That continues until the vocals start. There are loads or weird effects throughout,
on a synth or keyboard, but i won't tab them.
At the chorus I like to play single chords on the electric I use for the riff above (let
ring), except on the last chorus where I play them at a faster pace:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--5--------------x-x-9--------------x-x-0-------------x-x-2-------------|
|--5--------------x-x-9--------------x-x-0-------------x-x-2-------------|
|--5--------------x-x-9--------------x-x-0-------------x-x-2-------------|
Then at about 2:25 some strange sound starts that goes a bit like this:
RIFF TWO
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|--4-6-7-4-4-7-4-6--| x3
|-------------------|
