Run Me Down
Black Keys
The Big Come Up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard
Seems simple but it's pretty intricate in a chronological sense. I space 3 -'s inbetween
each beat, so the distance between three beats looks like this: x---x---x. The beat is
really fast. It's hard for me to figure out how all the notes should be spaced from each
other as a result. I tried my best but there's some parts I'm not sure I was very clear,
like the end of 1:42. There's two beats inbetween the end of 1:42 and the start of 1:44.
Also, the entire outro section is a giant wad of noise with very little structure. I'm
not sure I had everything timed out right with that.
Also, also, a lot of the notes are curled. That is, bent but less than a half step.
I transcribed that at some points but there are a lot of notes that are curled that I
didn't designate as being curled because it was easier on the eyes and easier to see the
spacing. For example, a bunch of the notes at 3:10 are curled and I didn't say they were
because if I did it'd look messy and might possibly cause confusion.
One last thing, the main riff is tricky to play. You don't play that A7 chord (002223)
as part of a bassline. First you hit the first A bassnote then palm mute it. Then you
hit the A7 chord and mute, then you play the rest. You can hear it in the song. There are
distinct pauses throughout and you're going to need to mute a lot. This pretty much
goes for any of my tabs.
Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review.
Key:
where # represents a fret number
#h# - hammer
#p# - pull
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
#b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note.
#r# - release bend from bended note to normal note.
#b - a slight bend a.k.a. a curl.
(#) - optional note. don't need to play it but I included it
so that you can see the timing inbetween notes.
& - substitution. some symbols (like 5h7 for instance)
are too big to fit inbetween bass-line hits. " & "
is used to fit such symbols into the bass-line with out
having to increase the spacing of the bass-line. The
" & " symbol is used within the boxes and the symbol
it is substituting for is shown out side the box.
