Straight Up and Down - Brian Jonestown Massacre Tabbed by: paul E-mail: stashj8@yahoo.com Tuning: standard This song is pretty simple. There are only 3 real parts to the song. (bass tacet until 0:15 >) This single note pattern I'll refer to as "Progression #1 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------33333333--------------------------------------------------------| A|555555555------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| This is where you can improvise a bit off of this line. It is just back and forth between the two notes. I will refer to this as "Progression #2 G|---------7x7x-------------------------7-7----------------------------------| D|---4-5x5-------55-3-----5x5-----4-5-5-----553--553-------------------------| A|55------------------5-5------55--------------5----5------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| This will take you into the chorus (at 1:30) This will always be played twice. G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|55555555-33333333----------55555555----------------------------------------| E|------------------33333333-------------------------------------------------| After the chorus has been played twice, you will play this (at 1:50) G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|333333333333333------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Now you are back to Progression #1. Repeat the order until this, at 2:55 You will be playing the same notes, just as mostly root - octave patterns now. G|----------7-----------------------7----------------------------------------| D|-----------7--5-55-5-55------------7-5-55-5-54-----------------------------| A|5-55-5-55---------------5-55-5-55--------------5---------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Repeat this until you get to the guitar solo, during which the bass plays the chorus. At the 4:00 minute mark, play this line until the end of the song.
