Nosferatu Man - Slint Tabbed By : baklava151 Tuning:Drop D Main Riff (0:04) (Repeat as needed) The bassist is doing some kind of weird harmony with the guitars, combing through live videos and listening closely to the recording, this is what I figured out for the main riff, 100% sure it's correct. He is playing the same rhythm as the guitars though G|-----------7-------------------| D|--------------6----------------| A|--(5)-6-5----------------------| D|-----------------0-0-----------| There actually is pattern for the note in parenthesis. First two times the riff is played, the extra note isn't played, then the extra note is played once, then the riff is played without it again twice, then the riff is played with it twice, and the whole pattern then repeats. Also, let the final low D ring out Chorus Riff A (1:03) (Play first 3x of the chorus) G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|------------------2--2-2-------| D|--0-0-8-7--3--2----------------| Chorus Riff B (1:13) (Play last 5x of the chorus) G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|--------------1--2--2-2--------| D|--0-0-3-0--3-------------------| Then Main Riff (1:29) Chorus Riff A (2:16) (x3) Chorus Riff B (2:26) (x5) Bridge (2:42) (Play twice) G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------| D|--0-0-3-0--3--8\\\5--5-5-------| Breakdown The bassist is only doing continuous eighth notes during the breakdown (no, he is not doing the same rhythm as the guitars, listen closely), but it's a bit hard to keep the timing down. I keep track of where I am by breaking up the eighth notes into groups of three, then count through each group of threes as I play. You'll see below. Breakdown Riff 1A (2:49) (2:55) (Play twice) G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--3-3-3--3-3-3----| 1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3 5 2 3 6 2 3 7 2 3 1 2 3 2 2 3 (These numbers are exactly how I count through this riff, it makes it easier to keep track) Breakdown Riff 1B (3:03) (Play once, try counting through like I did above) G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3------| Breakdown Riff 2A (3:12) (Play 5x, the bassist still plays continuous eighth notes throughout, but will hit the quarter notes with the guitars) G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------| Breakdown Riff 2B (3:38) (Basically adding a few more F's) G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---| Breakdown Riff 3 (3:44) (Play 7x, the seventh time, only hit the first two G's) Remember, continuous eighth notes. I divided the notes into groups of three to help you count.
