"Well Built Road", by Don Caballero From "For Respect" Tabbed by Brett Morrison(bosceaux@alphalink.com.au), Apr 2001. This tab is only meant to give you an idea of how to play this song. Most of the chords are pretty close, I reckon. You'll have to listen closely to the song to figure out when to pick what note, and when to change. Key: b = bend r = release p = pull-off h = hammer-on () = slightly picked note / = run up the fretboard \ = run down the fretboard ^ = Palm muting Intro: e|-------------------|--------------------| b|-------------------|--------------------| g|-7-/-9--------9p7--|-7-/-9-------9-10-9-| d|-0-----7-6-7-6-----|-0-----7-6-7--------| a|-------------------|--------------------| e|-------------------|--------------------| Then it goes something like this. Theres a few extra notes in there. This is the basic feel of the riff. adlib at your leisure e|------------------------8-------7---| b|-----------10-----------------------| g|--9-9-10-9----9-9-9-9-9---9-9-9---9-| d|------------------------------------| a|------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------| This 'first verse' is awesome fun to play It seems to work pretty well for me. Listen to the song to get an idea of when the chords change. * I find it easier to switch to that last F, rather than doing the bend on the b string - I find the bend bit at the end easier to play there. Its pretty fucking crazy, try a few different approaches.
