BRYTER LAYTER
DADGBD Capo 3
I've not attempted pinpoint accuracy on the guitar part here,
but adjusted what I can hear of it a little so that the melody
can be played by the guitar too!
Intro / Main bit:
(h)
!--------54-4-0--!---0-------(0)--!
!-(3)-3--33-3-3--!-01-0---(3)-3---!
!--2--2--22-2-2--!---------2------!
!---0--0-------0-!-02--0-----0-0-0!
!--0----0--0-0--0!------20--0---0-!
!0---0-----------!3---2---0-------!
obviously this is different almost every time - especially the
bass strings. The h is a double hammer on.
Next bit:
!----0-------40--!----0-------0---!
!--0-0-----3-33--!--0-0----2--2---!
!--0----2--2-22--!--0------2--2---!
!---2--0----0----!---2--2-2--2--2-!
!-2---2---0-----0!-2---2-0--0--0--!
!2-------0-----0-!2--------------0!
!----0-------40--!----0-------0-----0-----!
!--0-0-----3-33--!--0-0----2--2--2--2--2--!
!--0----2--2-22--!--0------2--2--2--2--2--!
!---2--0----0----!---2--2-2--2--2--2--2-0-!
!-2---2---0-----0!-2---2-0--0--0--0--0---0!
!2-------0-----0-!2-----------------------!
(nb I've left the melody off the end of the second bar in each
case, as the guitar part underneath is so specific it seemed worth
knowing. You can play always the melody instead if you prefer.)
And the next:
!----7------7--7-!---7--7---------!
!--7-----5----5--!-7--7-----------!
!----7-------0---!-6--6---34-4----! (twice)
!--7--7---7-7----!-5--5----3-4--0-!
!-0-0----0-------!0-0--0---------0!
!0-----0---------!--------0-0--0--!
(h)(h)
!--0--0------40--!--0--0------0---!
!01-01-0--3--33--!01-01-0-2---2---!
!--0--0--2---22--!--0--0---2-2--2-! (twice, extending the
!02-02-0----0--0-!02-02-0--2-2-2--! second bar 2nd time
!----------0----0!--------0-0----0! around)
!3--3--2-0-------!3--3--2---------!
Then:
!--7--5--4-------!--7--5--4-------!
!--7--7--3--1--3-!--7--7--3--1--2-!
!--7--5--0--0--2-!--7--5--0--0--2-! (twice)
!--7--5--4--2--0-!--7--5--4--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----0-2-4--!
!--0-----2--2---3!
!--0----02--2----! (and back into main riff, then
!--2---2-2---2---! repeat all the above)
!-2-2-2--0-0---0-!
!2---------------!
