Some UTS tabs/tunings

[Peestie]

I've done some tabs from UTS and thought I'd share them here on the Ledge since I'd had a few PMs about them. I've put the links to www.powertabs.net since the program needed to view them is free, but I also have them uploaded at another site in .gp5 format at another site if anyone really wants them in that format.

You might have to register to get into powertabs.net, but it's free!

Could people who download them please leave me a rating on powertabs.net? Pretty please? If you think I've messed up bad in one of the tabs please let me know (in this thread I guess) so that I can take another look and fix anything. I want the tabs to be as good as possible.


Not Too Late (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23213)
Tuning - Open F (C F C F A C)

Show You How (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23080)
Tuning - I just put it in standard :shrug:
Just did this really quickly. Don't expect anything mind-blowing.:rolleyes:

Shut Us Down (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23190)
Tuning - Sort of a varient of Open E tuning. It's Open E moved down a string, and the low sounding E tuned to C#, giving you C# E B E G# B.
The MIDI playback on this tab isn't great, but if you actually play it it sounds fine (to me anyway).

To Try For The Sun (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23113)
Tuning - Open A tuning slightly flat (E A E A C# E)
Four 5/5 ratings for this one on powertabs.net, though one is from someone who doesn't know the song :shrug: I think I need to tidy up the finger positionings in the second half of the chorus though.

I Am Waiting (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23251)
Tuning(not double checked) - On Soundstage he has a capo at 5 and is playing in Open A tuned down 1/2 a step (D# G# D# G# C D#), so more or less he is playing Open A with a capo at 4.
On the album it sounds like he is playing Open A with a capo at the second fret, but if he is doing it similar to Soundstage he will actually be playing Open A down 1/2 a step with Capo 3.

Down On Rodeo (http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23452)(live)
Tuning: Open G. Studio version is Open G w/ Capo 1

Cast Away Dreams - I did upto the first chorus when the mp3s were put up on his site, so I'll finish this after I do IAW.
Tuning - Open Gb (Db Gb Db Gb Bb Db)

Down On Rodeo and Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind
Tuning - See MiniLindsey's thread here (http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=25004&highlight=Tuning)

If anyone knows any of the others or if I'm wrong then be sure to shout!

Do you any of these songs in regular html? When I d/l them I can't open them up on any programs.

[Peestie]

I don't. Sorry! If you go to www.power-tab.net and then go to downloads you can get the program that opens them. It's free and really small.

[joshywashy377]

Wow, i didnt realize you were on the ledge! the second i saw try for the sun tab on 911tabs.com i couldnt download the software fast enough. i have all your fm/lb tabs and they are awesome!

[Peestie]

I didn't realise it was on 911tabs.com lol, well I suppose as long as it is getting shared out that all that matters, really... Any chance you could leave a rating on powertabs for one or two of them? Constructive criticism welcome as well.

Glad you like the tabs. I have a couple more FM tabs as well that need touched up a little before I submit them anywhere and I'm about 1/3 done I Am Waiting right now.

[Sarah]

Good work, Peestie. I checked them out at work, but I'm excited to download and try them out here at home with my guitar. I'll be more than glad to leave you some feedback the next time I visit powertabs.

You're quick!

[joshywashy377]

Yeah i will gladly leave you feedback once im on my comp. again which should be later today. Cant wait for "i am waiting"!

[Peestie]

Cant wait for "i am waiting"!

Just finished it there now. I'm going over it and checking/tidying it before I submit it. Should be there pretty soon.

[Madness Fades]

how do you do it peestie,
i just cant figure out how you do it. But jaysus its great.
Keep up the good work. Do you know how long ive been waiting for i am waiting.
Try for the sun is great, and shut us douw is too difficult for me right now.

[Peestie]

I Am Waiting has been submitted, so I just need to wait for it to be accepted. I'll put the link up for it then.

That's all the non-strummed songs from UTS done, with the exception of Down On Rodeo. As much as I'd love to do DOR since it's one of my favourite LB songs I just don't see it happening any time soon. There are just so many overdubs by the end of it that it gets really confusing. I'll maybe give it a go in a few months. I suppose I can always do the Soundstage version since it's much more stripped down. I'm going to finish CAD next I think. After that I'll probably finish a load of Lindsey's FM songs that I started. If there are any songs anyone would like me to try I can give it a go. No promises because some of them might turn out too hard for me, but I'll give it my best shot.

Hope you all like them.

Its hard to go back to regular tabs after learning about powertabs, jeez! The only ones i can think of that would be really cool to learn would be like say goodbye, destiny rules or world turning. just some ideas! im anxious for i am waiting to clear, thanks so much!

I've made an edit to my original post to put in the link to IAW, so there you go :D

I was thinking of doing Say Goodbye soon as well, so I'll get it done soon. And to answer your question from PowerTabs - I do plan on doing the entire album, but I'm not so good at working out the strumming ones (UTS, SGCYM, FDJ) because of the overdubs and stuff, and chords aren't my strong point so these songs will take a bit longer than the ones I've done so far. CAD is easy enough because the two guitars are in different channels i.e. one in the left and the other in the right.

[joshywashy377]

Sounds good, thanks so much for doing them and giving bored kids like me something to do!

How about his cover of Love Minus Zero/No Limits? :) Great tabs, by the way. I've been long stumped on these funny tuning songs; these tabs will help me get familiar with open tunings now. Thanks!

I'll do Say Goodbye and then I'll try this one, but it sounds like there is a lot going on in the song if I remember right (can't really remember) so I'll not make any promises.

[joshywashy377]

Thanks man i look foreward to Say Goodbye.

[Peestie]

Do you any of these songs in regular html? When I d/l them I can't open them up on any programs.

I've found a way to convert these html I think. Let me know if there are any you want.

I've done Down On Rodeo in the World Cafe session. I didn't see the point in trying to do the studio version with all the overdubs since it was unlikely anyone would have a full band plays it. It much more effective with just guitar and voice IMO. http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23452

[Madness Fades]

peestie,

I am Waiting was excellent, i can play away at it no bother now. Those tabs are the best around. Hard to believ you only live up the road.
Anyway just wanted to tell you the DOR tabs dont seem to be availabel to download

Thanks for the kind words :D

I don't know what's wrong with the DOR tab... It has been accepted to the PowerTab Archive (it's even on the front page) but for some reason the "download this tab" link isn't there :( I'll try asking someone about it.

For the mean time, if you see a heading "files" on the tab page with "November 18, 2006 (18:56) [.ptb] - Initial Version" underneath it the click on that.

I'll post something in their forum about it.

[joshywashy377]

dang, im really looking foreward to this one! So close and yet so far away! Hopefully you can get a hold of someone there and get it worked out. thanks for posting it and all the others tho.

[Peestie]

Here is a .zip of the file until it gets working at PTA.

EDIT: By the way, the MIDI doesn't play right at the start, but the tab is right if you play it yourself so don't be judging it by the MIDI.

[joshywashy377]

Are you supposed to have a certain program to open this? i have winzip but it says i need microsoft office 2003 and i dont... it wont let me open it using powertab either

My computer came with it. I think Windows can open it. Anyway, the PTA one is working now :) http://www.powertabs.net/tablature.php?id=23452

[joshywashy377]

Sweet thanks!

[joshywashy377]

Wow, this is a great tab, Ill leave you some very positive feedback!

[joshywashy377]

Hey, if you are up to a challenge, you could always try some old Buckingham/nicks stuff. Stephanie and Frozen Love come to mind as cool ones. Just if you get bored and want to try em... no pressure;)

Thanks for the rating on PTA :)

I might try Stephanie or Frozen Love at some point, and they would be pretty challenging! Haven't listened to Stephanie in ages but as far as I remember it has lots of overdubs yes? I might give Don't Let Me Down Again a go some time soon. I've got a few Whitesnake and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) tabs to finish first though.

[joshywashy377]

Sweet, sounds good. Yeah Don't let me down again would be cool too. I think Stephanie does have a few guitars going on, yeah.

[Peestie]

So, powertabs.net is down and so all the links in the first post to of this thread are gone, but I still have them and can repost if needed.

However, what I really what are the chords to UTS. I can't be bothered working them out myself, so if anyone has them it'd be a great help. If not I can do it myself. I'm also working on tabbing the Bass Hall version of "Trouble". I can play it so it's just a matter of finding the time to sit and type it all into the computer.

[Maccafan5000]

These would be amazing to have!! Could you possibly repost?

I have a feeling these will take me forever to figure out (I'm still a beginner) but I'd love to have something to work from.

Thanks so much :)

[TrueFaith77]

What are tabs?

Also, I just get an error message when I click on the links provided.

[Peestie]

Guitar Tablature. It's music and notation for guitarists to play the songs. Unfortunately the site I'd hosted them on is down now, hence the error message so I'll up the files again later today somewhere else.

Can you write out your parts on staff notation? :thumbsup:
All these tabs make me crabs. :mad:

:wavey:

[Peestie]

Yeah, I'm sure I could manage that. My music theory isn't quite up to scratch these days so you might need to make a few corrections in that department.

I want to go through them all and look for mistakes before I repost them all. TTFTS is particularly bad if memory serves. I think IAW is pretty good so I'll put it up as soon as I get back this evening to the computer that has the files on it.

[Peestie]

Here are PDFs of "I Am Waiting". One of them has standard notation and guitar tablature beneath it and the other is just standard notation. I'm afraid the standard notation looks a bit messy with all those tied semi-quavers and I'm not sure if they're all grouped correctly so I'm sorry if it's hard to read. I'll be willing to do my best to tidy it up if someone tells me what I've done wrong.

I haven't got the chord names on it either because I don't have the time to work them out tonight but they're all pretty simple so those who want to know can probably work them out for themselves and those who don't want them won't miss them.

Thanks so much Peestie!!

I'm going to start working from the tabs as soon as I get home. It may take me 3 years to get the song down, but I'm willing to try.
