Set Us Free Tab - J Mascis The Fog






J Mascis and The Fog - Set Us Free
From the album 'Free So Free' (2002)

Standard tuning, capo on 9th fret

---

This tab is based on what I could see from a video of it being played live/some fancy
sound-slowing software/oldschool listening for notes, so it's got to be fairly accurate.

Due to the way the guitar parts seem to have been recorded with like 2-3 overdubs and/or
certain effects, i've changed the tab so it's more like how it's played live (with one
guitar). That way the switches between the rhythm and the lead parts/small fills won't
seem so painfully obvious when you're playing along.

Warning: badass riffs ahead in verse/bridge.

==bridge 
| on a side note, the bass parts in this bit are really cool, J's bass parts are
| really underrated. even under the solo he's doing all these neat fills.

|not relative to capo - actual fret numbers used. 0s (open strings) are technically the 9th
|fret since the capo is there, but i find it easier to read it as an open string since your
|left hand doesn't need to fret the note.
