Title: Can't anyone tab this correctly?
Post by: MissSerpentine on Dec 18, 2008, 12:05 PM
I don't think I've ever seen "One Big holiday" tabbed correctly, and god knows I can't play it without the tabs.

This fool is the closest I've heard anyone playing it, yet of course he won't tab it out.

Any help would be groovy
Thanks

Have you been to the unofficial official tabs site yet?

If you think it's incorrect please tell me what part you think is incorrect.  I think the second guitar to the intro may be a little off but other than that it should be right.

Oh, and if you're going to watch someone play it you might as well go to the source and watch Jim and Carl's hands during okonokos.

btw, I put it lightly but I am 99% sure that the tab to OBH on my site is right.  I've been working on that one for about 8 years, it's usually one of the most popular tabs on the site, and definitely the one I get the most corrections for (especially the chorus, most people insist it's C-G-Am, but I swear it's F-G-Am).

Dylan, you'll be happy to know that when we covered it a few weeks ago, we used your tabs. Daniel only did part of the solo at the end, but then did his own improvisation. It seems like Niles had to adjust the 2nd lead part (the chiming part behind what Jim is playing in the intro), but I don't remember what he was playing, so I guess that isn't any help.

ANYWAY, you're right. It's the best tab out there for the song. AND, we played the chorus F,G,Am.  :)

Good man, Corey.  Did that recording get put of LMA yet?  Let us know when it does!

I don't know if this guy hadn't seen my tab or not yet but I get a lot of people telling me tabs are wrong because they can't figure out how to make it sound right.  However, a lot of times that has more to do with the player than the tabs.

Not on the archive yet, but I sent Russ an email asking if it's gonna be uploaded soon. I think he'll get to it when the holidays are over.
