Crooked Timber tab

So: who has started working on CT tab? Is it right for us all collectively to bow down to Mr Olney, or have times moved on and it is time for someone else to take on the mantle?

Cheers,
Alex

You can use stuff like GuitarPro to tab and then export the file as a .txt file (can take out much of the ballache)

By my reckoning its in standard C but with bottom C dropped to Bflat (drop D down 2 whole tones)

So you get the tuning, low to high of: Bb,G,Eb,Bb,F,C.

That at least works when I play ‘The Head That Tried To Strangle Itself’.

Yeah, I don’t know what I was on when I wrote the last lot of tuning.
Low to high for me would still be: Bflat, F, Bflat, Eflat, G,C.
So for ‘The Head That Tried To Strangle Itself’ I would play (relative to tuning) all power chord

B then:
C—8-8-8-8-
G—8-8-8-8-

Verse would be B to F.

Then it would be: D to G to Bflat.

Very basic tab at the moment…tab isn’t even the word.

Magic Mountain
Tuning Low-High: Bb,F, A, Eb, G, C

Intro: (slide between the chords, play twice)

F—-14—10—7—3—6—7—5—10—6—3—11—14—3—1—6—7—5—10—11—9—14—15—18—2—
Bb—14—10—7—3—6—7—5—10—6—3—11—14—3—1—6—7—5—10—11—9—14—15—18—2—

Then main section relies on natural harmonics on the 7th fret and then on the 4th, something like:
Eb———-7—-7——————-
A——-7——7———-4———-
F—-7——7—————-4—-3*—

*This one is played closer to the third fret than the fourth.

F—-7—-5—4—5—7—5——-7*—5—-4—5—7—9—
Bb—0—-0—0—0—0—0——-0—-0—-0—0—0—0—

*on some occasions this is a 12.

G—-10—8—7———-
Eb—————-9—-7—

For those that can listen without prejudice here is me playing 7 minutes of it…
