Tuning: E A D G B E
This is an interpretation for a standalone guitar, mixing both bass and guitar elements, based on the original version recorded on the 26th January 1979: https://www.discogs.com/fr/Bauhaus-The-Bela-Session/release/12834114 For the guitar noises, hear some live version to find inspiration. You can stroke B and e strings while muting them with the left hand and sliding it along the neck. Play with a lot of distorsion, flanger and delay. The D C# B and F# chords are played with B and e opened strings: D5 10-12-12--x-x-x D 10-12-12-11--0--0 C#5 9-11-11--x-x-x C# 9-11-11-10--0--0 B5 7--9--9--x-x-x B 7--9--9--8--0--0 F#5 2--4--4--x-x-x F# 2--4--4--3--0--0 A 577655 A# 688766 B 799877 [Intro] (drums) (distorsion noises, pick scrapes, various noises...)
