Song: Dead Souls
Album: Substance (or Permanent)
Band: Joy Division
Tabbed by: arctiki
This is a Joy Division classic, and features some really clever and simple bass work.
There's an extensive (2 mins+) intro to this song, which starts:
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|-1/3--1-1-3--3--1-1-3-|
E|----------------------|
After that you've got the rest of the intro to improvise, using
these couple riffs (and the one above) (and any others you think up):
G|-----------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
When the guitar kicks in, you kick in too:
G|-----------------------------|
D|-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-0-------------|
A|----------------1-3-3-3-1----|
E|-------------------------3-1-|
Play that along with the guitar the first time, then the intro continues:
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------3--3--5--5--3--3--5--5-|
A|-1--1--3--3--1--1--3--3-------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
Then kick back into the improv (starting on E's 1st and 3rd frets is a good start).
Continue that pattern through the rest of the song (the structure of the parts
where Curtis sings are the same as the long intro).
