  • -- SECTION 2: 'Optimistic' Jam Guitar Tab --
     
    Yup, this is the Radiohead cover part. The real version of Optimistic,
  • as performed by Radiohead is done so in the key of D (with drop D tuning).
    Since Howie is playing Sweet in standard tuning, he's shifted the Optimistic
    jam to the key of E. Keep in mind Howie's jam is not exactly the same as
  • the way Radiohead performs it. Things might seem a little off at first, but
    listen to Howie play it, and you'll see it matches.
     
  • The jam is fairly straight forward. Only play the notes/strings indicated.
    All other strings should be muted. I find that playing all the notes on the
    "a" string with my index finger, and playing all notes on the "g" string with
  • my ring finger seems to work, and naturally mute the other strings.
     
    You should let your low E string ring out with every strum. Since your only
  • playing a few strings at any given time, adding the low E creates depth.
     
     
  • "Flies are buzzing around my head..."
     
    e ---------------------------|
  • b ---------------------------|
    g --9-9--9-7--11-11--11-9----|
    d ---------------------------|
  • a --7-7--7-5---9--9---9-7----|
    E --0-0--0-0---0--0---0-0----|
     
  • "You can try the best you can..."
     
    e -------------------------------------|
  • b -------------------------------------|
    g --16-15--14-13--12-11----9-9-7-/9----|
    d -------------------------------------|
  • a --14-13--12-11--10--9----7-7-5-/7----|
    E ---0--0---0--0---0--0----0-0-0--0----|
     
  •  
    -- SECTION 3: 'Give Yourself Away' Outro Guitar Tab --
     
  • As soon as Howie finsihes singing the Optimistic lyric,
    "The best you can is good enough", the outro begins.
     
  • The set up is easy:
     
    e -------------------------------------|
  • b -------------------------------------|
    g -------------------------------------|
    d -------------------------------------|
  • a -------------------------------------|
    E ----0----0----0----0----0----0----0--|
     
  • Following suit with the Optimistic jam, Howie just builds a
    cadence and a bass line by playing the Low E string. Keep
    in mind this base line is fairly forceful and you should be muting
  • the other 5 strings. Doing this will create a percussion effect (duh!)
    that will match with the low E bassline.
     
  • Keep in mind, there's no looping with the delay modeler pedal yet.
     
    The next minute or so howie basically builds into the "fuck you" part.
  • His vocals are ad-libbed and fairly mumbled. His vocals are delayed
    through the use of Boss DD-5 delay pedal. I'm note sure of the settings
    because I don't use this pedal. I'm going to assume the delay is set to
  • a quarter note delay.
     
    As this vocal build progresses the baseline should as well. Nothing changes,
  • it's still just the low E, but anger that builds in his voice should be
    felt in the playing.
     
  • It builds... and builds... and build... and creshendos. Then...
     
     
  • **take a 4 beat pause from playing and singing, let everything just ring**
     
    If you're going to perform outro like Howie did on june 23, as you take this
  • pause take 2 full steps back from the mic. Conjour up the memory of every
    girlfriend or boyfriend that's done you wrong, and begin screaming,
     
  • "GIVE YOURSELF AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!"
     
    The outro now begins to take shape. The new chord progression is:
  •  
    c d emin
    e ----0----2----0----|
  • b ----1----3----0----|
    g ----0----2----0----|
    d ----2----0----2----|
  • a ----3----0----2----|
    E ---------2----0----|
     
  • Fairly straightforward stuff. I will sometimes make some minor variations,
    just to keep things interesting. eg:
     
  • c d emin
    e ----0----0h5--3----|
    b ----1----3----0----|
  • g ----0----0----0----|
    d ----2----4----2----|
    a ----3----5----2----|
  • E --------------0----|
     
    Once the vocals are finished, Howie begins to close the song, by building a
  • small guitar loop with his Line 6 Delay Modeler Pedal
     
    Line 6 settings: effect dial turned to "loop sampler",
  • every dial set to 0, except mix, which is turned to FULL. As far as I can
    tell there is no echo or delay on the guitar. If there was any delay it would be
    managed seperately through the DD-5 pedal.
  •  
    Again, he sets up the base line from the begining of the outro:
     
  • e -------------------------------------|
    b -------------------------------------|
    g -------------------------------------|
  • d -------------------------------------|
    a -------------------------------------|
    E ----0----0----0----0----0----0----0--|
  •  
    The loop is set at 8 beats, or two bars worth of howie playing the bassline.
    Unlike some of his other songs this loop is short.
  •  
    Next Howie adds the high fill. This is played on the high e string.
    Here's a basic pattern:
  •  
    e |---12-12-12-12-12--10---
     
  • Once that's looped, Howie the plays the same pattern again, but with different
    notes, creating harmony.
     
  • e |---5--5--5--5--5---3---
     
    [note this high fill part I'm tabbing from memory, I may be slightly off from
  • the Metro Cafe performance, but I know it will work]
     
    Finally, Howie's last build is the drums. This a simplistic beat, with emphasis on
  • the bass drum part. Less is more. Also, remember to make your 'bass drum' sounds
    use the palm of a closed, but not clenched, fist on the front of the guitar body
    (towards the bottom). The "snare drum" sound is made with the open slap of your hand
  • (towards the top).
     
    Once your drums are playing back hit the stop record button (middle knob).
  • Let the loop ride for a bit. Grin. When you're ready to end your performance stop the loop.
    At the end of the Metro Cafe performance there's a "techno-whirl" kind of sound. This is
    most likely done by turning the line 6 "delay" and "repeat" knobs to full, hitting the low E sting once
  • and then turning the "delay" knob counter clockwise slowly.
