Staind - Mudshovel Tabbed by: KirkH420 Email: KirkH420@attbi.com Tuning: DbAbDbGbBbEb (1/2 Step down and Drop-D) This is the REAL way to play Mudshovel. And it actually sounds like the song, imagine that.... Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Db|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Db|-4-4\3.25-3.25\2.25-2.25\1.75-1.75\1.5-1.5/1.75-1.75/2.25-2.25/2.50-2.50/-- [.............................HARMINICS................................] Eb|--------------------------------------------- Bb|--------------------------------------------- Gb|--------------------------------------------- Db|--------------------------------------------- Ab|--------------------------------------------- Db|-3.25-3.25/4-4------------------------------- [..........HARMONICS..........] The above may look stupid at first but it will sound right if played right. All of the notes are played as harmonics. If you don't know what harmonics are or how to pull one off, stop looking at my tabs and take lessons! To play the fractional notes, place finger approximatly at the specified fractional interval on the fret above the whole number. Example: for 3.25 you would place your finger 1/4 of the way to the 4th fret harmonic. So 3rd fret and 1/4 of the fourth fret. To make the above sound right all you really have to do is make a continuous slide down from 4 to 2.50 and back up to 4 while playing harmonics.
