Black Keys - Tighten up

Tabbed By: yulizavala22 Black Keys Brothers Tighten Up This is an awesome song by The Black Keys one of my favorite and this song is a fun song to play. The tab here is 100% correct because I have done research and seen videos and even looked at an interview with Guitar World where he gave the tab in one of their magazine, so this is as accurate as you can get, enjoy. Intro after bass e|--9--9----9--9---7-7------------| B|--10-10---9--9---7-7------------| G|--11-11---9--9---7-7-----10-10--| D|-(11-11---11-11--9-9)----11-11--| A|------------------------(11-11)-| E|--------------------------------| Everything in parenthesis is optional, but I think it makes it sound better You can hear this at (0:13) but it is played many times in the background e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---4---4-2-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------4s2-0-0---2-0---0-2-2p0-2-0---0-2s4-4s2-0-2---| E|-2---2-------------2-----2-------------2-----------------| This is played twice in the song one at (0:38) and at (1:44) e|-12h14-12h14-12-14-12----------12------------------------| B|----------------------14s12s14----14s12-10-12s10s12------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------| B|-12-10-12-10---------------------| G|-------------11s9s11-9-9---------| D|-------------------------11-9-7~-| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| This is the version played on the record but Dan plays the verses down by the 5th and 7th frets live Then there is a second part similar to this but its played higher and there is more to it. It is also played twice like the other one, one at (1:07) and the other at (2:12). e|----------------------------| B|-19-19-17h19-17-------------| G|----------------18s16-(x2)--| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| e|----------------------------- ----------------| B|-19-19-17h19-17-------------- ----------------| G|----------------18s16--18-18- 18-14-14--------| D|----------------------------- --------16-14---| A|----------------------------- ^played fast---| E|----------------------------- ----------------| e|----------------------------| B|-19-19-17h19-17-------------| G|----------------18s16-(x2)--| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| e|-------------17-----------------------------| B|-19-19-17h19----19-17-----------------------| G|----------------------18-18-16-14-16-14-----| D|----------------------------------------16~-| A|--------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| Then it goes into a strange breakdown thing with effects e|-----------------| B|-----------------| G|-----------------| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-0-2-0-2-0-2-0---| <-This is a weird bass part, I really don't understand it but it was what Dan said was played with effects.
