Title: Better unplugged by me
Post by: Voodoochild on October 22, 2006, 07:11:11 PM
Well, I made an unplugged version of Better and recorded with and without vocals... Just click with the right button and chose "save as":

Thanks guys...

I don't have a tab for the regular version, but you can find something about the riff and the chords here:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=33049.0

Of course I played different in this accoustic version, but what I posted on that other thread is pretty much 100% accurate.

Voodoo this is amazing. ?I've listened to it probably 20 times the past two days. ?I usually don't post but felt I had to to say how much I appreciated this. ?

God I wish I could do this. ?Did you record both guitars and vocals all separate or did you combine the rhythm and vocals into one take? ?

That lick coming out of Robin's last solo and continuing through the "naaa naaa naaa"'s is so catchy. ?I can't believe I never really heard it until they started playing it live and it stood out more. ?It is really drowned out on the demo but really shined in the commercial and your version here. ?

As with everyone here, if you'd ever have the time I'd love a tab of the song. ?I think I'm going to start plugging away at learning it so I can play it when it comes out as a single.

Dude, that was a really nice thing to read. Thanks a lot...

Yes, I recorded the rhythm and the lead guitar in two takes, and then recorded the voice (yeah, it sucks, I know, lol).

And for the record, I recorded this version before the H-D ad. People were saying that this is a new guitar work, but it was always there. Robin is a fucking genius ;)

hey man i just wanted to say i heard the acoustic version, it sounds awesome man, i love your accent as well, sounds like enrique englusias or whatever that guys name is, especially when you scream out "now i know you BETTER" at the end of the chorus.. not a bad thing, very unique. i thought my accent sounded a bit bad (i come from australia but i have middle eastern heritage so a bit of it is in there especially when i say particular words)

Post by: Voodoochild on February 03, 2007, 12:18:42 AM
Sorry for bumping, but I finally got my ass to write the chords.. The whole tab will need more time, tho.

Tune your guitar down to D.

Almost all the chords has the #3 and #4 fingers in the third fret, like those ones:

C

----3---
----3---
----0---
----2---
----3---
--------

Em

----3---
----3---
----0---
----2---
----2---
----0---

G

----3---
----3---
----0---
----0---
----2---
----3---

The verse cames like (C-Em-G-Em)

In the bridge to the chorus, when Axl sings "All that I wanted was..." do it with C - G - D - A.

Chorus: Em - G - A, always in the same chord style. Then, before going to the regular verses again, play C - G - D - A, but finish it with a higher Em (I mean, the #1 finger in the 2nd fret on D string).

Bucket solo it's just G-G#-A.

Metal riff: (Em - D - A)2x - Em - G - A - D - Em (high). This last part is faster.

After Axl's yelling part, keep the finger like the examples and play this: C - B - A - G - A - B [(C-B)2x A - G - A]2x.

The rest of the song is the same. Hopefully you'll understand what I wrote.. :confused:

Thanks Voodoo for the tab, I've never tuned down to D (besides drop D) before so I'm going to try it out.

Nicely done!

Are you playing the solos also? the solo in the end is awesome, you hit pretty much every note there.

Vocals, they are good too...they sound different (your accent obviously) but ok.



Title: Re: Better unplugged by me
Post by: Voodoochild on April 11, 2007, 10:57:04 AM
Thanks man

Yeah, I recorded everything (vocals, guitars) for my girlfriend. I even promised to tab the solo, but I keep postponing this due to lack of time...

As for the vocals... Well, I tried. ;D

Thanks mate!

Well, I didn't use anything special, just my old Giannini (brazilian) Studant Series guitar (it was my first guitar! :D) with nylon strings tuned down to Db. I only used this one and recorded the overdubs later with Adobe Audition 2.0. :)

Yeah, it's pretty damn awesome.

I find myself listening to the instrumental over and over again.

Voodoochild: You should definitely do this with another Guns N' Roses song, if possible.

I've just downloaded the version with vocals:

All I can say is that it is fabulous! Great version man, congratulations  :love:

vocals are great, like a Paul Simon / Herbert Vianna fusion.

Now you need to record Chinese Democracy  :peace:
