Bug
I've been playing Bug since I got the Tom and Trey Demo Tape.
This version is different from their live one. It requires mucho
sustain. This is how I get the Trey-esque sustain for this song:
Ross Compressor->TS9 (Light Crunch)->Ibanez DMD2000 Delay (.33ms).
The light delay gives each note a searing/sonic sound. It also helps
to sustain the notes.
Problems: I'm having problems trying to figure out the EXACT chords to
the chorus. Also, I don't know the exact words used in the chorus.
Someone is saying something ("Don't need it) in harmony with "It
doesn't matter.". All summer it sounded like "Der-E-ned."
Intro:
Use distorition to get some feedback. Turn on your Univibe
to get the rotation sound and then whip it off before going to
the verse chords
[D]
E---------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------| G----7----------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------| A----5----------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------|
Verse:
Whether Trey plays these notes as power chords or not is debateable.
You can either play them this way or just play the notes on G string.
[F#] [F#] [E] [D] [E] [C] [F#] [G] [C] [A]
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G--11---11--/--9--/--7--/--9--/--5----------11--/--12------------16--/--14---| D----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A--9----9---/--7--/--5--/--7--/--3----------9---/--10------------14--/--12---| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Pre-Chorus:
Hold this note for 8 measures and then add the F on the high E string during the
eighth measure.
[D] [F]
E---------------(22)--------------------------| B---------------------------------------------| G-----19--------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------| A-----17--------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------|
Pre-Chorus (Alternative):
Hold the first chord then, instead of adding the F on the high E, play this.
[D] [C] [B] [A]
E---------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------| G---19---17---16---14-------------------------| D---------------------------------------------| A---17---15---14---12-------------------------| E---------------------------------------------|
Chorus:
If you have another TS9 (or distortion channel), turn it on and
belt out these three chords.
[F] [C] [G]
E--------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------| G-------5------------------------------------| D--3----5----5-------------------------------| A--3----3----5-------------------------------| E--1---------3-------------------------------|
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
There've been times that I've wondered
And times that I don't
Concepts I'll ponder
And concepts I won't ever see
God is not one of these
Former or latter
Which did you think I meant
It doesn't matter to me
Chorus:
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Don't need it)
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Don't need it)
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Overrated)
Overrated
Verse 2:
Gold in my hand
In a country pool
Standing and waving
The rain, wind on the runway
Spending or saving
Credit or death
Which did you think I meant
Nothing I see can be taken from me
Chorus:
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Don't need it)
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Don't need it)
Bug
It doesn't matter
(Overrated)
