Subject: s/smashing_pumpkins/landslide.tab Date: Tue, 7 Nov 1995 01:11:43 -0800 (PST) From: "A. Leitz" Subject: Tab for "Landslide" by Smashing Pumpkins I find that it sounds just as cool if you play the Fleetwood Mac version. The only real difference is the style of picking and of course Billy's voice. I do it like this (Travis Pick type style w/ capo 3rd fret) : |------------------------------------------------------------------------ |---1-----------1-----0-----------3-----1-----------1-----0-----------3-- |---------0-----------------0-----------------2-----------------0-------- |------2-----------2-----0-----------0-----2-----------2-----0----------- |---3--------3--------2--------2--------0--------0--------2--------2----- |------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Took my love.........." x as nesessary Tafter you pluck the Am chord it changes to this for the chorus : |---------------------------------------------------------------------0----- |---1-----------1-----3-----------3-----3-----------3-----0---------------- |---------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0-------2-- |------0-----------0-----0-----------0-----0-----------0-----------2-------- |------------------------------------------------------------2-------------- |---2--------2--------3--------3--------2--------2--------0----------------- "I've been frettin' changes..............." That's basically it. I don't have time to write out the solo right now. Later. Get back to me if you have a really killer version because I know that the Pumpkins play it a little different (cooler than the original) but I haven't seen on ethat sounds right and is a s easy to play as this. :-) TAB by me, Brian McCall. --- LANDSLIDE - as performed by Smashing Pumpkins ========= written by Stevie Nicks Guitar 1, acoustic, capo 3rd fret Chords: G# |X6534X| Gm |X5533X| Gm7 |X5536X| C5 |X355XX| (I'm tabbaing this as if 3rd fret was open (0)) *1 |--------------------------------|------------------- |-1-1-1---0---0-3---------0---0-3|-1-1-1---0---0-3--- |---0-----------0-2---2-2-------0|---0-----------0-2- |--2-------2------2-2------2-----|--2-------2------2- |-3---3---2---2---0---0---2---2--|-3---3---2---2---0- |--------------------------------|------------------- ^repeat There are a few changes in the chord pattern but they're all the same chords so you should be able to figure it out. *2 |--------------------------------- |--------------------------------- |-----0-0-----0-0-------0--------- |---0-------0---------2----------- |-------------------2------------- |-3-------2-------0--------------- I know that's probably wrong, but it's what I came up with.

Even though this song has been posted about 6 times already, I'm posting my version because it's considerably different from those which have appeared. I'm pretty sure the notes are close to accurate, but this version requires an odd tuning. FIRST: Tune the high E string (i.e. thinnest string) down to a D. I did this because I think I can hear the highest note of the first chord played on two different strings (based on the tone quality). You don't need to do this, as long as you don't try to play this string. NEXT: Put a capo on the first fret. Any feedback on how easy/hard you think this is to play, whether you think this is a reasonable tuning, etc, is welcome.

CHORUS More VERSES --- From: drizzt@clark.net (Drizz't) Ok this is the best rendition of the Smashing Pumpkins version of "Landslide" I have so far. This was done at work from memory without my guitar so I may have messed up the chorus some, but I think it's correct. (Intro played twice..) +-0-----0----+-0----------+-0-----0----+-0----------+ +----0---0---+----0--7----+----0---0---+----0--7----+ +-----9------+-----8------+-----6------+-----8------+ +------------+------------+------------+------------+ +-7----7-----+-6----6-----+-4----4-----+-6----6-----+ +------------+------------+------------+------------+ +-0-----0----+-0----------+-0-----0----+-0----------+ +----0---0---+----0--7----+----0---0---+----0--7----+ +-----9------+-----8------+-----6------+-----8------+ +------------+------------+------------+------------+ +-7----7-----+-6----6-----+-4----4-----+-6----6-----+ +------------+------------+------------+------------+ Took my love took it down....

This song MUST be played with the fingers. Tuning is as follows: E,A,D,G#,B#,E This is just your 2nd and 3rd strings tuned up 1/2 a step. This is not essential, but it makes it MUCH easier to play, and it is tabbed in that way :) Main Verse Finger Postions: E A D G B E I will call these: ----------- x x 1 2 3 x F.P. 1 ----------- x x x 2 2 1 F.P. 2 ----------- x 3 3 2 x x F.P. 3 These are just the positions you keep ypur fingers, but individual strings are played from each. VERSES F.P.1 F.P. 2 F.P. 3 F.P. 2 |---------|-------1----|---------|---|-------1-----| |-3---3-3-|-2---2----0-|-0-----0-|-0-|-2---2----0--| |---2-----|---2--------|-----2---|---|---2---------| |-1-----1-|-0----------|---3-----|-0-|-0-----------| |---------|------------|-3-------|---|-------------| |---------|------------|---------|---|-------------| ^^^ This is just an in between chord change thingy. Every now and then there is a slighty variation to this but no new notes are played. CHORUS The verse riff is played once after Billy stops singing the verse where it is joined to the chorus like this: |---------|-------1----|---------|---------|---------| |-3---3-3-|-2---2----0-|-0-----0-|-------0-|-------0-| |---2-----|---2--------|-----2---|-----2---|-----2---| |-1-----1-|-0----------|---3-----|---3-----|---3-----| |---------|------------|-3-------|-0-------|-1-------| |---------|------------|---------|---------|---------| |---------|------------------------| |-------0-|------------------------| |-----2---|------2------2--------2-| |---3-----|----3----3-----3----3---| |-0-------|------------------------| |---------|--3-----3--3------3-----| I will not TAB out the solo because the ones in the other TABs were pretty decent. Just do not forget to add 1 fret to any number on the 2nd and 3rd strings. E-mail me with comments, improvements, and suggestions. Adam benmo@deakin.edu.au
