Ok now that there's all the technical stuff i'll tell you how it all<br/>
fits together.:<br/>
<br/>
First off you want to play with slight distortion with a bit of choruss.<br/>
<br/>
Intro: Riff A, Riff B, Rhythm 1<br/>
Verse 1: Rhythm 2 (twice), Rhythm 1<br/>
Verse 2: Rhythm 2 (twice), Rhythm 1<br/>
Verse 3: Rhythm 2, Rhythm 1, Interlude, Solo (which i didnt include)<br/>
Outro A: Riff B, Rhythm 1 (don't repeat)<br/>
Outro B: Rhythm 2, Rhythm 1(twice), Interlude, Riff B<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
For those of you who are confused on which chords to use, here ya go.<br/>
<br/>
G=320033<br/>
D=xx0232<br/>
A=x02220<br/>
E=022100<br/>
<br/>
This is a *LOOSE* transcription to the song, ie: in certain areas you pick<br/>
around with the chords. And yes i didnt transcribe the solo.<br/>

<br/>
Well, this was published in Guitar or something a bit after I figured it out.<br/>
Oh well, mine is very close, just not very orderly, but I've been too sick<br/>
to care. If you listen to the song you should be able to figure out easily<br/>
what goes where.<br/>

Piece of cake. I didn't do the middle part with all the incedental noises<br/>
as it's too hard to hear what's going on.<br/>

My transcription of "Black Gold" by Soul Asylum.<br/>
<br/>
Done by ear, so if something just doesn't sound right.. well, hey. <br/>
Whaddya want for free?<br/>
<br/>
Because I felt like it, I transcribed both guitars. If you want to<br/>
fudge it for one (likely), play the acoustic part and you should do<br/>
well enough. As usual, listen to the song for the correct timings as<br/>
getting them all right on the tab is a royal pain in the ass. You'll<br/>
find that the guitar parts are well-synchronized to the vocals so it<br/>
shouldn't be too hard.<br/>

There you have it! Sorry if it's confusing but except for the solo<br/>
(which involves sound effects, a lot of feedback, and other fun stuff<br/>
that you really can't reproduce in ASCII) it should be pretty close. <br/>
Hope you enjoy it!<br/>
