Tab: "When we Recovered," Toad the Wet Sprocket Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu) I'm fairly sure of Glen's part (guitar 1), but guitar 2 is driving me crazy... I'm not sure of the tuning, I'm not sure even if he's playing with a slide or not... I can't tell... Intro: Guitar 1 plays this twice Emadd9 |--------------------0-----|--------------------0-----| |-----------------------0--|-----------------------0--| |-----------0--------------|-----------0--------------| |--------4-----4-----------|--------4-----4-----------| |-----7-----------7--------|-----7-----------7--------| |--0-----------------------|--0-----------------------| G/B G/C G/A G/D *(gtr 2 enters) |--------------------------|-----------------------------| |--------0-----------0-----|--------0--------------0-----| |-----0-----0-----0-----0--|-----0-----0--------0-----0--| |--------------------------|-----------------------------| |--------------------------|-----------------------------| |--7-----------8-----------|--5-----------8/10-----------| Guitar 2 enters at the point marked with an asterisk, with delay, heavy reverb, and volume swells. Throughout the song, except for the choruses, it sounds like guitar 2 is also played with a slide.
