Let me start by saying Beck is one of the greatest artists of our generation, and dare I of all time. Now that we have that settled.. This is Beck's song "Modern Guilt" off of his album of the same name. This, however, is the acoustic version of the song that he performed at KROQ and on his acoustic release ( http://beck.com/videotheque/5879169 ). [NOTE: I did not include the intro to the song (the catchy little licks he plays at the beginning), because I usually just improvise on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th frets of the and E strings, depending on how long the intro is improvised during a performance. I do know the exact way Beck does it when he performs it. Sorry.] Now I know there are a few versions of this song floating around (whoever posted the sheet was spot on), but none of them have the chorus riff tabbed correctly (I can assure mine 100% accurate, it matches perfectly in key with the record and the acoustic video, nor do they include the chorus-outro sequence, so I've included both of those bits for you. I've done my best to space the chords out accurately in relation to the but you'll just have to listen to the song the old fashioned way to get the correct timing. (For reference to the chord shapes, visit chordfind.com. It's much easier than reading as tabs.) Dig.
