Yvette Young [TABS] | midwest emo on crack riff

Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3jLRPCYOUE PDF Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dz5LysCIcWX3ID5n2F2LOzcrC0M6tFY9/view?usp=sharing I've tabbed a number of Ichika's video (more in the works). Today I've got some Yvette Young. Another fabulous guitar player! In the video she's got the capo on the 2nd fret meaning she'd be tuned to F#A#C#G#C#F. However I don't think that's actually what she's tuned to because I'd think that the strings would be a little too tight (although I didn't try so I could be totally wrong). Also, a much more standard tuning is FACGCE. I think what's happened is that she is tuned to FACGCE and pitched the song up a semi-tone after the fact. I could very well be wrong though. Anyway, I wrote the tab for FACGCE with the capo on the 3rd fret. And speaking of capo's, I'm not a fan of changing the numbers written in the tab to reflect the capo placement, making the capo'd fret the new 0. In my head I rarely reference the open string to play, for instance, the 7th fret. instead I'm using the dots on the neck / fretboard. Especially when there's notes above the 12th fret, I don't want to have to do the math to figure out which fret my finger is actually supposed to be placed on. This method of changing the framing of the value of the fret based on the capo could be useful for playing near the capo; 0 to 3 frets above the open position. However, this in not the case in this song. Also, because I didn't tell the tab software (Guitar Pro) that I have a capo on, it won't let me write in harmonics which would normally be notate with the fret number surrounded by angle brackets (which for some reason can't be in a yt video's description?!). Thus the harmonics are notate as artificial harmonics (A.H.); a technique where you fret the guitar with one hand and excite the string and cut it off at a harmonic with the other hand. In the tab you'll see a 3 (which the software doesn't know is actually an open string) followed by a 10 in angle brackets. Meaning play a harmonic as you normally would with your finger over the 10th fret. Hopefully that made some sense. Some other thing's worth mentioning: The rhythms are simplified — I didn't notate with anal accuracy like I've done with some of Ichika's songs. I'm giving up the playhead in the tab matching up perfectly with the audio. But we get a tab that's more readable I think. (and with some mediocre editing I can fudge the playhead to match the audio with decent accuracy). What I'm saying is the tab isn't a perfect record of what Yvette is playing, but I hope it's close enough and it's helpful to learn to play. (Although I couldn't resist putting in a couple tuplets to try and notate the great ascending run she does) Thanks for watching and reading my thoughts here in the description! Have a great day and best of luck practicing.
