================================================================= "Slice Where You Live Like Pie" - Don Caballero From the "What Burns Never Returns" LP. Tabbed by Brian Kelly (brikelly@hotmail.com) July 1999. Intro updated Feb 2001. ================================================================= Key: b = bend p = pull-off h = hammer-on () = slightly picked note / = run up the fretboard \ = run down the fretboard ================================================================= Intro (Dull tone, mostly clean, and a little crunch): (00:17) e|-12--------------12-----| b|---7------------------7-| g|----12-------------12---| d|------12--7----7--------| a|------------12----------| d|--------12--------------| This is tough, but it's mostly just random tapping on a fixed set of notes on two frets. Basically, place your picking hand over the 12th fret, and your fretting hand over the 7th fret. Your picking hand should tap the E, G, A and both D strings on the 12th, while your fretting hand should tap the B and D strings on the 7th fret. Apparently, Ian and Mike were playing the same basic thing, but with each guitar panned to either side of the stereo field. On the LP, you're hearing a jump to each guitar (left and right) every second or so, that's why it sounds so crazy. If you listen to a live recording of the song with just Ian playing it, it sounds a lot clearer. At 00:35 it's played at a faster speed, and then from 00:54 on it slows down, then hit a loud distorted open D power chord at 01:05 and 01:10. ================================================================= Part A: (The catchy distorted bit) (01:37) Guitar 1 e|-----2---0----------17---\--| b|--------------15----20b--\--| g|--------------18b-----------| d|-0--------------------------| a|-0--------------------------| d|-0--------------------------| | | | Guitar 2 | e|----17--------------17---\--| b|---(15)-15----15----20b--\--| g|-------(16)---18b-----------| d|-0--------------------------| a|-0--------------------------| d|-0--------------------------| These 2 parts are separated between the left and right channels - so with a bit of messing with your balance control you can hear each guitar pretty clearly. The important thing here is that when you hit those high D and A notes, make sure the bent note almost hits the same pitch as the non-bent note, and then bring the bent note down to its normal pitch. In fact, a pre-bend sounds really good here, if you can get the pressure just right. The timing here is also kinda tough - Im not even going to start tabbing that. ================================================================= Part B: (Drums are faster) (02:51) e|----7p0----7p0h7-| b|-----------------| g|-----------------| d|-0------0--------| a|-0------0--------| d|-0------0--------| ================================================================= Part C: (Both guitars) (03:03) e|-----------------| b|-8---9---10--12--| g|-9---10--11--11--| d|-----------------| a|---0---0---0---0-| d|---0---0---0---0-| Dampen the D power chord each time. ================================================================= Part D: (repetitive staccato bit) (03:16) e|-------------| b|-------------| g|-9--9--9--9--| d|-10-10-10-10-| a|-------------| d|-------------| ================================================================= Part E: Right...the next bit is pretty chaotic and not really worth tabbing verbatim. Basically if you slide and play between any combination of the following positions, you can get a decent sound. Hit a couple of open lower D's too to fill it out. This is the part where all 4 instruments basically have a free-for-all :) (03:33 - 03:49) e|-------------------| b|-------------------| g|---2-/-4-/-7-/-13--| d|---3-/-5-/-8-/-14--| a|-------------------| d|-------------------| ================================================================= Part F: (03:49) e|---------------------| b|---------------------| g|--13--(13)-\--4--7-/-| d|-(14)--14--\--5--8-/-| a|---------------------| d|---------------------| ================================================================= Part G: (04:03) Guitar 1 e|----14------14------14------9---| b|----17b-----17b-----17b-----12b-| g|--------------------------------| d|--------------------------------| a|-0-------0-------0-------0------| d|-0-------0-------0-------0------| | | | Guitar 2 | e|----14------12------14------14--| b|----17b-----15b-----17b-----17b-| g|--------------------------------| d|--------------------------------| a|-0-------0-------0-------0------| d|-0-------0-------0-------0------| ================================================================= Part H: This riff just kicks so much ass. I love playing it.

There's also a slight variation in it. It's left as an exercise to the reader :) ================================================================= Lyrics: Lyrics? Lyrics?
