The Day I Tried to Live - SOUNDGARDEN ------------------------------------- (off of the album Superunknown) The intro is played by two guitars, one slightly distorted, the other with a clean tone....the distorted guitar's riff is played a few more times in different parts of the song. Just listen to it to get all the parts right: guitar 1 (a little distortion): e |--12----10--9-12\7--6---|-6--6/8-8/10----------------| Repeat B |------------------------|----------------------------| this 6 times G |------------------------|----------------------------| guitar 2 (clear tone): comes in on second measure the first cycle of the riff guitar one is playing e |------------------------|-7\12--12--12/7--7--7\12----| repeat 4 B |------------------------|----------------------------| times G |------------------------|----------------------------| on fourth time play this for second guitar: e |-12/7--7--7\12--12-13/7-| e |--14/8-8\14-14\8-14/7-| B |------------------------| then this B |----------------------| G |------------------------| G |----------------------| then the bass and drums come in for their little intro and during that the distorted guitar plays something close to this slowly in rythym with the bass: D -12-12-12-12-12---12-12/11-11/10--10-10-10-10-10---10/9-9/8--8-8-8-8-8 then comes the main riff, and oh how nice it is: all strums are DOWN- e |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-| B |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-| G |-8-8-8-8-8--8-8/7-7/6--6-6-6-6-6--6-6/5-5/4-4-4-| D |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-| A |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-| E |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-| I'm not sure but I think that right before the main riff is played this chord is strummed once : e 6 B 6 G 7 D 8 A 8 E 6 the main riff is repeated it I think 5 times and then goes back into the intro riff the distorted guitar played and then back into the main riff later and then....you get it. oh, towards the end there's a little dink of a riff that sort of hangs there until the end - I forgot to figure that out but it shouldn't exactly be difficult. that's about it. disclaimer: I figured ths out on an acoustic guitar so keep that in mind while you fix the mistakes....
