Artist: Ogre Song: Sperm Whale Album: Seven Hells Year: 2006 Tuning: Standard Key: D (mixolydian/flat 6th?) Chords in key of D: D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm, C#dim This one is for the drummers! Ross Markonish and Ed Cunningham's deceivingly simple guitars team up to showcase Will Broadbent's *absolutely superb* heavy boom-bap drumming. Hella fills throughout, along with a lengthy drum solo. [0:00: Section 1 - main line] [Guitar 1] Em A Bm D Em A Bb G * these hammer-ons might actually be slide-ups * also perhaps slight vibrato here e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------7b8r7-5^-| A|--------------5^-----5---5-7-7----------------5~-----5-------------| E|-0----0-0h5h7------7---7---------0----0-0h5h7------7---7-----------| t t t t t t e|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------5^-| A|--------------5^-----5---5-7-7----------------5~-----5-------| E|-0----0-0h5h7------7---7---------0----0-0h5h7------7---7-----| Not sure if double-tracked guitar here for the second half of the main line to give it extra thickness... e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------7b8r7-5^-| A|--------------5^-----5---5-7-7----------------5~-----5-------------| E|-0----0-0h5h7------7---7---------0----0-0h5h7------7---7-----------| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------5------| A|--------------5^-----5---5-7-7----------------5~-----5------7-7~-| E|-0----0-0h5h7------7---7---------0----0-0h5h7------7---7---------| [0:33: Section 2 - fifth chords] [Guitar 1] The full power chords seemed a little too bright, so maybe its just root/5 here. There also might be a second, double-tracked guitar here playing roughly the same chords for extra heaviness.
