FROZEN BEEF (COME WITH ME)

with notes by Doug Boucher

INTRO

This is the "main" part (i.e. what Mike plays live). The other part... well, I'm pretty sure there *is* one, and it's not just doubled, but I'll deal with that later.

Notes marked "x" are muted strums. I've only notated the bare minimum; you really need to go for a loose-wristed funky approach here.

Other symbols:
h=hammer-on, s=slide, b=bend, r=release bend
p=pull-off and the "^" symbol marks the beats.

I find it easier to play like this:

Same thing, different position. Huhuh, I said "position." Huhuh.

Wade Buehler comments on Dougie's post:
This be the way MK done it when I saw it during soundcheck for my one-and-only BFD experience (July 24, 98, Khyber Pass, Philadelphia, PA)

The "other part"...

I can't really make this out for certain, but I'm pretty sure it's more or less exactly the same with one major exception.

 

Where Mike plays      -4^5-4-------   I think he plays  ------------
this in the 1st part: -------7-5---   this in the 2nd:  -5^7-5------
                      -------------                     -------6-4--
                      -------------                     ------------
                      -------------                     ------------
                      -------------                     ------------

VERSE

If you were going to play this live (and sing at the same time), you'd probably want to simplify the patterns down to their basic form. This, though, includes all those extra bits on the studio version...

VERSE 2

Yeah, I know there's a chorus first, but I haven't quite figured out the minor details yet, and if you're not into the minor details, you already know this part, anyway - it's just the two main intro riffs, played on simultaneously by the two guitars.

Verse 2 uses exactly the same chords, but with the addition of these two tricky single note lines...

After "...Pumpkins roadie":

 

                   s   s
|-------------4---4/5-5\4-4-2-----|---------------------------------|
|---3-5-3---3---3-------------3---|-----5---------------------------|

|---------------------------------|-----------------------------4---|
  ^       ^       ^       ^         ^       ^       ^       ^


Or, if you prefer the live version:

     s
|---------------|-12----14----12----16-12-----|
|---7/9-7----12-|----12----12----12------12---|
|---7/9-7-------|-----------------------------|

|---------------|-----------------------------|
|-0-------------|-----------------------------|
  ^   ^   ^ ^     ^      ^     ^     ^

And after "he don't know me":

|---16----14----9-----7-----9------|-14----16--16--16--16--16----|

Pretty close to what I've got but I'm figuring those chords differently. I hate how all the damn lines get out o whack. Let's see if I can fix this...

I noticed that you and I both did that last chord as the Bsus2. I'm not sure that's right, but if you got that too.........

I've got that chorus on paper and I'm still working the bugs out on it, I'll post what I have later.

Cool, I didn't have those.

Isn't this fun?
