QUADRAVERB PLUS-USE PATCH 19 PATCH 33 DON'T SOUND RIGHT

BOOST BASS AND TREBLE AND LOWER MID RANGE
USE MIDDLE PICKUP
This was a very hard song to work out. it doesnt make life
any easier with lots of tape echo either and palm muting.
I would like to discuss hanks tone, which is a tape echo
machine, plugged into a vox ac 30 and with a fender strat
guitar.
That was the old days of course.
These days Hank uses Echoes from the past, it has all
is tape echo effects programmed into it minus the wow
and flutter effect of old tape machines. programmed by
charlie hall, i believe he still programs machines now.
The vox ac 30 is avaiable now in stores. there is the
custom classic, slightly different compared to the original
and the heritage amps which supposed to be the vox golden
tone from that age.
Fender strats are everywhere these days, just make sure to
get one with vintage pickups, hank uses kinman pickups i believe,
also important is the tremolo arm or whammy bar, which adds vibrato
to notes, bring them to life.
Also avaible to get hanks tone is the gemini III, an incredible tone
shapper tool to get those earlier shadows sounds.
so lets recap, if you really want hank sounds, heres the ideal
setup
Fender strat - > Echoes from the past - > Vox heritage amps.
you could also add compression.
but i cant stress how important a good tape echo unit is, to get those
hank sounds. You cant beat Echoes from the past in my opinion which is
what hank used in his final tour.
Right forget about gear, lets learn to play FBI
The following was tabbed by ear.
please note - that i have not included the exact number times somthing
is played. you can work this out yourself by listening to the record.
I am trying to show you the correct notes to play.
first off, lets look at the first guitar you hear, Bruce's.
Rythm Guitar

|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|----6----6-------6-------6--------7--------7------|
|----7----7----------7----7--------6--------6------|
|------7---------------7---------------7-----------|
|-5----------5------------------5----------------5-|
Right lets learn the song
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----5--7/9-----7-5----| X 2
|---7---------7-------7-|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|--------5-------------------------------------|
|-----------8--5-------------------------------|
|------5---------7--5--7--7/9--9----7-----5----|
|---7----------------------------------------7-|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
the timing can be a little trick the next part, listen to the record
to get an idea of how its played.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------5-----------5-----------5----------5---------------------|
|-------5--7----7--5--7------7--5--7----7--5--7----7--5-------7---5----|
|---7----------------------------------------------------7--7--------7-|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
play this muted
|-------|
|-------|
|-------|
|---5-7-|
|-7-----|
|-------|
Play the above twice,
Bridge
we are going to play the same thing 3 different parts of the neck, with palm mut
ing.
It will sound cool with the echo going.
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|--------6-6---9-9--6-6-|

|---7-7-----------------|
|-----------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------7-7--10-10--7--7--|
|--8-8--------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------7-7--10-10--7--7--|
|--8-8--------------------|
|-------------------------| x 2
now a very chromatic phrase
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-7-7--5--6-7-|
|-------------|

Only play this part once

2nd time we are going to do this

|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|--7--5--3--2--0--|
|-----------------|
Right we now play the main lead part, same as at the start, but in a different o
ctave.
goes like this
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|----------2~-----0------| x 2
|----0--3-------0----3-0-|
|------------------------|
then we play
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------2-0---------------------------|
|------------2--0-----0--1/2-2-0-------|
|--0--3-------------3-------------3-0--|
|--------------------------------------|
next we play
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------------|
|-------0--2--0-----0--2--0-----0--2--0----------------|
|-0--3-----------3------------3----------3-0---------0-|
|---------------------------------------------0--3b----|
now for the solo
Guitar solo
This is hard to explain, listen to the record for timings, *on second and third
leave off the first 12
on the top
*
|--12-------12--------------------|
|------15b-----------13--15--13---|
|----------------14---------------|
|---------------------------------| x 3
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
Right basically, after this section, the 12th note on the E and the
15th note with the bend on the B string is played 4 times, like this
|--12---------12--|
|--------15b------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------| x 4
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
in order to get out of this, we play
|-------------------------------------|
|-13~--------------13-----------------|
|-------14--12--14-----14--12--14~----|
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
Now its very hard to tell what hanks playing, the echo is covering up
the notes. its very scrambled, it sounds like he plays this repeated.
not exactly sure how many times.
|--12---------12--|
|--------15b------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------| X Approximitly 10 times
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
then right at the end it sounds like he catches the 13 fret B string to me
so it will end like this
|--12----12-------12-|
|-----13------13-----|

|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
then we are back into the bridge.
there are some slight differences, first of all he plays somthing like this
|----------|
|----------|
|----------|
|----------| Repeated approximitly 3 Times
|----------|
|--7/8-8---|
You finish the above part , just by hitting the 7th fret again.
it can be played on the A string if you prefer rather than the low E or even on
the D.
It also sounds like he plays, double stops.
Like this
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|---6--4--5--6|
|---7--5--6--7|
|-------------|
you could also play the end section with double stops if you like.
like this
|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|--6--5--2--1------|
|--7--4--3--2--0---|
|------------------|
there is alot of stuff going on in the final bridge, experiment.
If i can find out some more cool stuff to play , i will post it
in the comments section.
Right lets move onto the final section
We repeat the main part again.
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|----------2~-----0------| x 2
|----0--3-------0----3-0-|
|------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|

|--------2-0---------------------------|
|------------2--0-----0--1/2-2-0-------|
|--0--3-------------3-------------3-0--|
|--------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|-------0--2--0-----0--2--0-----0--2--0----------------|
|-0--3-----------3------------3----------3-0---------0-|
|---------------------------------------------0--3b----|
to finish off, hank plays a cool little lick at the end.
like this
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-------------1/2-|
|--0--3b--0-------|
|-----------------|
or he might have played this,
it sounds a bit deeper to be honest, so i think
that he played this instead.
play both see which you think sounds better
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|-------------1/2-----|
|---------0-----------|
|--0--3b--------------|
Thats it. Hope you enjoyed it!
if there is any errors please let me know. I will fix them in
the comments section.
