Halfway Right - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - E A D G B E (Slightly distorted w/slapback delay and heavy reverb) Guitar 2 - E A D G B E (Slightly overdriven w/modulated reverb, neck pickup) Guitar 3 - E A D G B E (Semi-distorted w/delay) Guitar 4 - E A D G B E (Semi-distorted w/reverb, neck pickup) Guitar 5 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/reverb) Guitar 6 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/reverb, middle pickup) Guitar 7 - E A D G B E (Clean w/multi-tap delay and reverb, neck pickup) Guitar 8 - E A D G B E (Clean w/multi-tap delay and reverb, neck pickup) Guitar 9 - E A D G B E (Distorted w/reverb and slight chorus, neck pickup) *Note* All guitars on this track are Fender Stratocasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. The guitar comes in fairly late in this one, it sits out the whole intro, first verse, and first chorus. Once it comes in though, there's a lot more going on than it sounds like in the final mix! Guitar 1 plays from the second verse onwards, it's pretty heavily palm-muted and has a TON of reverb on it, as well as a fast delay. Simple single-note stuff, but watch out for the spots where Guitar 1 stops, and for how most of its note changes are delayed an eighth note past the downbeat. Guitar 2 only shows up for a few notes in the second pre-chorus, but it's probably the loudest guitar part in the song. It's a little sustained part that jumps between roots on the D string and thirds on the G string. Guitar 3 accompanies Guitar 1 from the second chorus onwards, it's more distorted and plays a consistent eighth note pattern like Guitar 1 does, but a lot of its notes are muted with the fretting hand, resulting in a more syncopated sound. Guitar 4 shows up in a couple spots during the second chorus, before being replaced by Guitar 5 for the rest of the song (Guitar 5 is essentially just a more distorted version that switches to the bridge pickup), this part consists of notes on the A and D string. Guitar 6 doubles the "na na na" melody in both bridges, and Guitars 7 and 8 show up in the bridges as well, playing some offbeat "ska-like" chords on the top 3 strings (these guitars have a multi-tap delay on them - one is a slapback delay like Guitar 1's, the other is set to eighth note triplets). Guitar 9 rounds things out in the second bridge, doubling Guitar 6 an octave higher, with some heavy vibrato on a few of the sustained notes. In terms of variations to watch out for, the second line of each bridge always has a slightly different ending than the first line, so keep that in mind in general. Guitars 1 and 3 oddly cut out really abruptly near the end of the second bridge, it happens on the 4th beat of the second measure. It's such an abrupt thing that it almost sounds like an editing mistake! Guitars 7 and 8 also add a couple extra chords in the second bridge, they happen on the initial downbeat rather than the offbeats like all of their other chords. Guitars 7 and 8 also end the song on an F#m chord even though everything else stays on an E chord (I think this definitely WAS an editing mistake, but it was left in the mix regardless). Guitar 5 also plays one note on the D string with a slightly different rhythm at the end of the second bridge than it does at the end of the first bridge. Cool song to play once you pick out all the guitar parts, sorry there are six things going on at once in the last bridge but hey, I didn't write the song!
