Betterman John Butler Trio
---- Betterman ---- Music & Lyrics by John Butler From the album "Three" By The John Butler Trio Tuning Open C - C G C G C E Listen to the intro, there are parts that need a little palm muting and there are some dead notes to hit as well as the notes in this tab. This is just a basic intro to get you started. After you can play this you'll be able to get it sounding more like the CD version.

John uses a glass slide on his little finger. - indicates slide This is the basic riff E-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 C-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 G-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 C-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 G-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 C-7-7----10-10----5-5----7-7 There are little licks and stuff that he plays but I haven't had time to work 'em out. The Don't want to be a thorn in your side bit is like E-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 C-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 G-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 C-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 G-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 C-3-3-3----10-10-10----5-5-5-5-5-5 That's about all the different riff 'n stuff there is a huge ass solo but I don't have time to write it/work it out so just have some fun playing your own. Tuning-John plays this in CGCGCE, but i find it easier to play in CGCGCC. Just my personal preference. Having siad that though, the solo is probably wrong, but im 13, so lay off. This solo is played with a slide ~vibrato b-bend r-release C---------------------------------------------------------------------- C--7~----75--------------------------------------------------------/7- G/7---------5-5/3-0-5/3------------0-0-3-3/5~--5/65--5/65--5/65----- C--------75-----------5-5/7~------------------------7------7-----7---- G-------------------------------5/7------------------------------------ C---------------------------------------------------------------------- C--------------------------------------------------------------------------- C-----10/9----7----------------5-----3-2~----7-7//12--12--12-12---14/12/10-- G-7/5-----/10--7-7-7-7-7/87-/7-0-3/5-0----/7-------12--12-12-12------------ C--------------------------------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------------------------------- C--------------------------------------------------------------------------- C--------------------//---------------- C--------------------//---------------- G-12-12-10/1210/12--//---------------- C--------------------//---------------- G--------------------//---------------- C--------------------//---------------- o.k this part John plays with his fingers i *think* C----------------------------------------------------------------- C----------------------------------------------------------------- G-3h5p3-5-5-5b6r5-3h5p3-5p3-5p3-5p3-5b6p5-3h5p3-5p3-5p3-5p3-5b6p5- C----------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------- C----------------------------------------------------------------- C---------------------------------------------------------------------- C----------------------------------------------------------12b-12-10--- G------10--10-12-10-12b13r12-12---3h5p3-5p3-5p3-5p3-5b6p5-----------12- C-10h12--12------------------------------------------------------------ G---------------------------------------------------------------------- C---------------------------------------------------------------------- John uses a slide now C--------------------------------14-14-14-14- C-10-12-12-10-12---10-12-12-10-s14-14-14-14-- G---------------12--------------------------- C-------------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------- C-------------------------------------------- When doing the 18th fret slide slid go down to about the 10th fret, and also when you doing the slide down from the 18th fret pick the G and C strings like this C--p-p-p---------- when p stands for pick G-p-p-p----------- C-18------------18-----------18-------------------------------------- C-18----12--12--18----12--12-18----12--12--12-12/10--10-10/12-12--12- G-18-/12--12----18-/12--12---18-/12--12--12---12/10-10--10/12---12--- C----------------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------------- C----------------------------------------------------------------------- Im a bit sketchy on this part C---------------------------------------------------------- C-18-----------18----------12/----14/12/10-10-/10/12-12/- G--------12--12-------12--12-----/12----------------------- C-----/12-12-------/12--12--------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------- C---------------------------------------------------------- Now you hear this big sliding sound and a lot of rattle and the lap-steel bass solo somes in.
