I was looking for the real chords of Better... the ones I saw were pretty simple, with just power chords and stuff like that. I don't think the main verse riff (or the chords) is just that. It's not just about power chords, you can tell just by listening to. But anyways, here's some screen-shots I made with Robin playing the verse:



I can say the first chord is (with drop D, of course):

8-8-8-10-11-8

or

----8-----
----11---
----10---
----8----
----8----
----8-----

I thought it would be better to ask the musician himself, so I emailed BBF. Here's his answer:


All's well, thanks Smiley It's drop D, I'm playing power chords... Bb/// /// / /// / D/// /// F / D/ / , but Rich and Robin are adding some highre extensions to the chords... maybe if you email Rich, he might be able to help with that...? Smiley

bbf


So, I'm trying to get the other chords.. Anybody could help me with that?

----10---
----8----

----10---
----0----
----0----
----0-----

F:
----3-----

Thanks dudes... but listen to the Bucket lead made by my friend pdl05, it's truly amazing:


http://rapidshare.de/files/25786577/better1_-_perfect_crime_-_brasil.mp3.html

http://www.sendspace.com/file/f2oxh3


The intro still needs some work, tho. But this guy really can play!!

Ok, this one is better (no pun... ok, you got it). It still need some work and a lot of leads:

http://www.perfectcrimegnr.com/downloads/Better_01_(base).mp3

I played the rhythm guitar and some small leads and pdl05 played the lead (the bucket part and the intro).

Yeah, the mix isn't that good yet... Like I said, it still need some work and some lead (like Robin solo). I recorded and mixed yesterday, late at night... And my E string is gone, lol. Need to buy new one. Tongue

Hey, you're a bassist, if you haven't already learned "Better", I submitted a bass tab and a pretty good guitar tab to Ultimate-Guitar.com, I'm 100% certain that the bass tab is as correct as can be! ok ok

Haha, that's fuckin' jokes dude!

After I read Voodoo's post and listened to his version days ago, I was like "well time to learn Better on the bass" and since ultimate-guitar.com is the only tabulature site I really use, I found only one bass tab which I now know is yours Cheesy

It sounds pretty damn accurate so far, but I dont have any picks laying around the house, so the song is kind of harder to learn at the moment by just plucking Undecided

Sorry dude, but this tab is not right.

Here's the right tab (I didn't made it, it was a friend of mine, pdl05):


E--18--18--18?18?18?18?18-----18?18?18?18?18---18
B--20--22--20?22?20?22?20-----22---------22---20---22?20


B--18--20--18?20?18?17?18--
G--19--19--19?19?19?19?19?

E---0----0-----0?--0?-
B--15---17---18?-20?


This is 100% accurate.

You wanna bet it's not right?

Listen to that, compare it to the original.

Listen to yours, compare it to the original. You might be basing it off of the live version, but either way I don't think the live version intro is correct versus the original recording intro.

I can't listen to that because I'm at work right now, but I'm pretty sure the intro is not that different in the live version. Of course, the last notes may be played different because Robin need to put the first chord, but that's it. So, I assume it's the same riff, same notes, same tab.

Did you listen to the version we made?

http://www.sendspace.com/file/791111

I dunno how are you playing, but I tried your version and it doesn't sound right. Then, I tried this other one and all went well. I dunno if you tried the version I posted, but if you did, make sure to use distortion - the harmonics will not sound like the demo and/or live version.

Trust me, when you get a chance to listen to it, you'll see what I mean. I used a distortion produced by a DigiTech RP200 mixed with a Boss Dynamic-Wah.

We have some server troubles, looks like some files are lost
if you have lost files please upload them again, accounts still exist, sorry!!


Your file is not there anymore.

But, like I said, I already tried your tab.
I also tried your chords tab and it wasn't right either, since it only had power-chords. But anyways, maybe if another person compare the two tabs you may believe in me.

I recorded your version to compare with my friend's one. Also, there's the demo version, for better listen... I didn't use any wha, just a shitty distortion...

http://www.perfectcrimegnr.com/downloads/Better_intros.mp3 (save as)

1st, of course, is Robin.
2nd, its yours.
3rd, its mine.

Its proof enough.. If you can't hear the difference, I really can't do much more.

Edited: just heard your version.. same thing. Sorry, it's just not right.

LOL.
Its not on the Eb tune, but it's not out of the tune. And yet, the other version went well? Do you want me to re-record it with the 100% right tune?

If you can't hear the difference between your record and the real version, there's no win here.

I guess I will leave it on my ctrl+v here: Did you try the other version? Did you listen to it?

B--18--20--18?20?18?17?18--
G--19--19--19?19?19?19?19?

E--15--15--15?15?15?15?15--

It's the same thing dude... Notice how it's different strings. Tongue

So please, listen to it and compare.

I'm gonna try your version later.

Hey Voodoo Child, you think you can tab out that Buckethead fill your friend did? Seems like a motherfucker to play, he's definitely got skills.

Yes, Voodoo Child, sorry man, your version actually does sound 100% right. My mistake

By the way, nevermind about the fill, figured it out.

Sure, I'll do the bass in a little bit, but first I need a bass...lol, I figured the song out on mine but unforunately it's not that great and will not sound very good.

If you want I could do it with a toned down bassy guitar?

My version of the Better verse has a tiny variation on the B string.
I tried posting my version of the verse, but the text formatting kept screwing up the tab even worse than it already is (a little crooked, but you get the gist), so I uploaded the text file to yousendit:

Thanks to everyone who post their tab ideas, it helps a lot!? beer

you should really work on your timing... use a click or something... its so untight... do yourself a favour, because on the other hand you seem to get the right notes... don't ruin this by beiing utterly out of time ok

Those are fucking awesome recordings. You guys are great at what you sayI have an ever progressing instrumental of "Better" i'm working on, with horribly ad libbed solos that were as close as i could get to how the original sounds, which aren't close but anyway. I think I'm just going to give up on trying that song while I'm ahead. Keep up the great work all of you

Thaks ben114. I'll post a new version soon, with better rhythm and solos...

you should really work on your timing... use a click or something... its so untight... do yourself a favour, because on the other hand you seem to get the right notes... don't ruin this by beiing utterly out of time ok

 Shocked   utterly out of time ?  -   have you ever heard Classic Music, like Bach  ?  do US a favor, listen first then come back talk about  ruining time  ok   and btw,  do you play something?   would you correct Robin's ,  Bach's  ruining time? 
Thanks honey, always being nice to me...  Kiss Smiley

For this whiny guy...

I may was out of time a little, but to be "utterly" sounds really rude.

BTW, about my guitar sound, you should know it's not made with real amps, but just Amplitube plugin on Adobe Audition. I would have notice this...

All this is just made for fun, not for trying to sound pro. The accoustic was to my gf. The other ones, were just recorded fast enough because I got bored. Also, having to recording with flat guitar and then adding distortion and fx later really takes A LOT of control, but you also didn't want to think about that before acting like a smartass.

Thanks for the "good ear" part, tho. But you should do yourself a favor if you could be nice with people you don't know.

robin is an amazing guitar player; i have always pointed that out; and for bach: the "brandenburgischen konzerte" are in my cd player right now; perfect music for a sunday morning breakfast... but what has bach to do with timing in popular music? yeah, maybe that playing bach to your metronom is one of the best ways to practice beeing "tight" like 80's jeans...

sorry, just wanted you to see what you might do better... should have been a constructive critique; there's no use in buttering s.o. up; as i wrote in the e-mail: you seem to be having the right musical feel(ing), but your timing IS really bad; that's a fact; its not about being perfectionistic: but in that quality, what could be a nice approach, is simply ruined; improve your timing and you'll have something really cool to be proud of; that's all i'm saying; besides: you posted this song to be discussed... that's what i did; if i thought it was nothing but shit i would not have taken my time to write to you,

so peace,

It's funny, really. This is not a fact, it's your opinion. I did show the songs for some other players and asked about the time, because all I could see was recording issues. Of course, they noticed the timing stuff, but not THAT bad like you said. Also, they made it clear how they understand about the recording process I have to make and how this can be bad for tone, bends, sustain and, of course, tempo.

Yeah, of course this is all about criticism. But once again, you fail to understand the main intention here. To put this video of this guy playing just shows how you misunderstood what I said. Funny too how you put the same video in this other thread..

Yeah, the guy is good, is super fast, has technique, bla bla bla. I'm not him. If I'm that bad, just stop listen what I record. But please, stop trying to state your opinions as fact.

o.k:

i could say this: when it comes to measurable things, you can talk about facts, not only opinions; metric is measurable and you can judge "objectively"; 

but i'd rather put it this way: i listened to your rhiad version first: and i thought "wow, this is really a cool guitar riff, never heard it that clearly on the live-versions..."; then i listened to your "better", and i thought, wow, better as an unplugged version shows how great the songwriting in that one is; i heard your voice and thought it was sweet; not perfect but quite touchy; it seemed as an authentic expression of certain feelings that are in this song... i LIKED IT... and thought that it was quite remarkable to get the exact notes, record that and then put a link to it... but although i somewhat liked it, i could not listen to it, because when timing is bad, it's quite like somebody missing the notes all of the time; so i suggested that with your potential this could be much "BETTER"... maybe i was egoistic because I wanted to listen to that unplugged version more often... so take it as a compliment...

Yet, the perception of the tempo is not "objectively". But let me try to understand your point here...

I guess you're talkin about the rhythm on Better. Well, I was recording it while listening and trying to following the demo. I recorded the rhythm in one take and I noticed it was out of tempo sometimes, but like I said, it was recording issues. Even so, I thought it was worthy for my girlfriend, so I uploaded it. She loved and wanted me to show to others, so I posted here. I didn't bother to record it again because I was too lazy to do it.

Not a big deal, but not also that bad. At least for the majority of people who have heard. Unless they are all lying and even my mind (and ears) are playing tricks.

Also, of course it's not the exact notes, but oh well..  I'm sorry I couldn't be better for you.

this is your way of discussing things? offending and then getting out of the discours by being sarcastic?

nice.

ps: i was only judging music from someone at the board, not assaulting people. and it was you who thought would know better... so the whole thing is kinda absurd.

mobenrad, yours is definitely wrong.

voodoochilds version is nearly correct, i think just the middle part isn't...

E--18--18--18?18?18?18?18-----18?18?18?18?18---18
B--20--22--20?22?20?22?20-----22---------22---20---22?20



B--18--20--18?20?18?17?18--
G--19--19--19?19?19?19?19?


should be:


E--15--15--15?15?15?15?15--
B--18--20--18?20?18?17?18?


E---0----0-----0?--0?-
B--15---17---18?-20?

i played this last night but i didn't have the track with me to listen to so i tried to go from memory and now that i have it to listen to i'm pretty sure it's more like....

E: 18--18--18?18?18?18?18-----18-18-18-15-15
B: 20--22--20?22?20?22?20-----20-22-20-18-20

E: 15--15--15----15--15----15--15
B: 18--20--18----20--18----17--18

E: 15---15---15---15
B: 15---17---18---20

EDIT: I messed around on the weekend and fixed the tab above....i think that is right, at least it sounds right to me Undecided

B:18-20 ...

E: 15--15--15----15--15----15--15
B: 18--20--18----20--18----17--18

It would rather be

E: 15-16-15
