The Wildhearts

I am in the process of pulling all guitar tabs together and uploading them here.

I will get most of it finished tomorrow (Tue 13 Nov) Earth and Fishing have been done so far.

The biggest gaps are in the solo stuff, so any help would be great.

Everywhere I've seen Nita Nitro tabbed has it played in E when it's actually played in F. Beware.

that is the version in standard tuning though

I don't pay much attention to different tunings. I try to play the same way it was played when it was recorded, even if I'm not tuned the same. According to my fretboard and Ginger's, Nita Nitro is is almos all F's and C's and B-flats.

Watch it live sometime. That main driving riff... CJ's doing a power chord off of the first fret, not open E, and Ginger is playing the stand F-chord across the G, D, B and E strings.

Fact is, if you play it in E (or based on your open-E string), you'll have to jump up and hit a high E-flat chord during the chorus when we're clearly hearing a drop down to a lower one... right before the "say good-by to the rock 'n' roll" line.

I tried and tried playing it in E and it was a revelation when I finally figured out the tabbers had just gotten it wrong.

thanks for that man. I'll give it a try tomorrow

Phewy, that is quite a task you're undertaking. Good luck with that.

As with 'the tabbers got it wrong' they normally say tune down/up half a step/whole step. So really why not just change the tuning on your guitar and then, wam bam, it sounds right*.


*Please ignore if I am not understanding right.

The first ever WH tab I found was I wanna go, and it was transcribed for standard tuning, and was really difficult... Then I found out that all WH stuff was tuned to Eb and it became much easier. It's not a big hassle at all... And considering I've been playing Kyuss and QOTSA stuff this week, and that's tuned all the way down to C (ie, two whole steps down), It's not that much of a problem...

Nice job GR. As soon as my emither starts working again, I'll send you what I have.

(You're missing an 'e' in Caffeine BTW )

Yes and No - That very often depends on the tabber. Some find the right tuning, tell you what it is and write it out; some find the right tuning, don't tell you and leave you to figure it out when it sounds terrible and some work it out in whatever tuning they're currently using.

I think Ginger once said that everything he does is tuned down except for the SG5 stuff 'cos it sounds 'happier'.

A few more uploaded now.

I'm gonna put up the SG5 and SS666 tabs as well as some Clam Abuse.

Good man!
There's some decent wildhearts tabs here, including bass, which as for the frustrated, tone deaf, don't-know-which-way-up-the-fret-board-goes bass player I am, is quite helpful!
(that's a subtle hint for bass tabs to be included on your site!)

You will need to register and log in though (it's free, and worth it!)

Thanks for that Andy. I've got a few bass tabs, but will look at those.

I am also gonna upload some Guitar Pro files at some stage too.

Is it my imagination, or is Yoni in standard tuning as well?

Ok, you got me. I think I read it in something from waay before the recent solo stuff. I just realised GAB is in standard tuning too.

Just ignore me.

Quite... And I wasn't in tune with either of 'em.
