This note is notbrplucked, but usually occurs when you release a bent string but stillbrlet the note ring.brbr/S Slide up to notebrbrS\ Slide down from notebrbrH Hammer on: hit the specified fret with a finger, but don't pick.brbrP Pull off: put your finger on the fret at the specified location beforebrpulling off another finger from another fret. Don't pick.brbrx Mute stringbrbrI've made no attempt to indicate timing, so you'll have to listen to abrrecording for that.brbr[B/Db] [Dbm7] [A] [B] brH H S\ H HbrbrprebrE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------brB -4---5----4--5---x-x-----x-2--x-4-x-x---4--5---4--5---x-x-----x-2--x-x-4-x--brG -4--(4)---4-(4)--x-x-----x-2--x-4-x-x---4-(4)--4-(4)--x-x-----x-2--x-x-4-x--brD -4---6----4--6---x-x-----x-2--x-4-x-x---4--6---4--6---x-x-----x-2--x-x-4-x--brA -4--(4)---4-(4)--x-x-----x-x--x-x-x-x---4-(4)--4-(4)--x-x-----x-2--x-x-4-x--brE ----------------------9------------------------------------9---------------- br/prebrDa- vid Bo-wie Da-vid Bo-wie brbrThis is played through a total of three times, then started a fourthbrtime.

I put a note indicatingbrwhere the UB40 part stops paralleling the David Bowie part. Afterbrthat point comes the _really_ weird part (the second interlude). Thisbrpart is based on a long pattern that repeats in several positions, butbris not played all the way through in a couple of these positions:brbr/S /S HbrbrprebrE ------------------------------------------10--------------------------brB -----12-----10-----9-------------------11----11-----8--9--------------brG ---9----9------9------8--9--8--9--9-12----------12--8-(8)-8-----------brD -9--------9------9----9-10--9-10----------------------------11-10-11--brA ----------------------------------------------------------------------brE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- br/prebrbrP /S /SbrbrprebrE -----8-------------------------------------------------------------brB -7-9---9---10----10--11-(10)--12----------------------------12-12--brG ---------8--8----10--10--10---10---9-10---9-10--10-10-13-13--------brD -----------10----10--10--10---10--10-11--10-11---------------------brA -------------------------------------------------------------------brE ------------------------------------------------------------------- br/prebrbrbrH H [A] [B] /S /SbrbrprebrE ------------------5-5--7-7----------------brB -9-(10)--9-(10)---7-7--9-9----------------brG -9---9---9---9----7-7--9-9----------------brD ------------------7-7--9-9-------9--------brA ----------------------------9-11---11-13--brE ------------------------------------------ br/prebr[+] brAt this point, this whole pattern repeats with everything moved up 2brfrets (so the first note played is on the 11th rather than the 9thbrfret). Then, after the last slide from the 13th to the 15th fret, thebrfollowing is played, and then held for four beats:brbr[Ab] br[E] [-----] br[B] [-13--] br[G] [-13--] br[D] [-13--] br[A] [-----] br[E] [-----] brNext, the whole pattern is repeated 3 frets down from the originalbrposition (so the first note played is on the 6th rather than the 9thbrfret). The pattern is started again 2 frets up from this position (sobrthe first note is played on the 8th fret), but stops at the pointbrmarked with a . An E chord is then played and held for four beats:brbr[E] br[E] [----] br[B] [-9--] br[G] [-9--] br[D] [-9--] br[A] [-7--] br[E] [----] brbrNext, the whole pattern is started again 7 frets down from thebroriginal position (so the first note played is on the 2nd fret), untilbrthe point marked with a +.

Towards the end, itbrstarts alternating the Em to D part with a C to D to Em part:brbr[C] [D] [Em] [Em] [C] [D] [Em] [Em] [Em] [D] [Em] [D] [Em] [D] [Em][D]brI'm not sure how Phish decides when to kick into this part - when mybrold band played it, the bass player would just scream when he thoughtbrthe time was right. Anyway, after alternating these parts a fewbrtimes, Trey plays a pull-off pattern outlining the C, D, and Embrchords:brbrRe[C]peat 4x Re[D]peat 4x Re[Em]peat 8x Re[C]peat 4x Re[D]peat 4x Re[Em]peat 8xbrP P P P P PbrbrprebrE -15-12-------17-14-------19-15-------15-12-------17-14-------19-15-----brA -------13----------15----------17----------13----------15----------17--brG -----------------------------------------------------------------------brD -----------------------------------------------------------------------brA -----------------------------------------------------------------------brE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- br/prebrbrbrThis goes back and forth between this pattern and the Em to D part abrfew times, and then when Trey decides to end the jam, he plays thebrpull-off pattern up until the point marked with a , and then playsbrfour whole-step bends at the 22nd fret (so he's bending D up to E).brAnd finally:brbr-Repeat 4x-br[Em] [A] [B] brbrprebrE -----------------------------------------------------------------------brA ------x-x-x-2--4--4--5--4--5-------------------------------------------brG -0----x-x-x-2--4--4-(4)-4-(4)------------------------------------------brD -2----x-x-x-2--4--4--6--4--6-------------------------------------------brA -2----------------4-(4)-4-(4)------------------------------------------brE -0--------------------------------------------------------------------- br/prebrdrum brfillbrbrThe fourth time the B chord marked with a is played, I think Treybrtoggles his pickup selector switch.brbrThat's about it, I'd appreciate any comments or corrections.brbrNeilbrberkman@cs.umass.edu p If you want to learn Phish David Bowie guitar chords, The 5 chords we'll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major. The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments. Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart /p p The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play David Bowie. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it. /p
