Shy
by Ani DiFranco
from Not A Pretty Girl
This song rocks pretty hard. It gets its big sound via use of an alternate
tuning. I tune my guitar F#-F#(in unison)-C#-B-C#-E; Ani I think tunes
E-E-B-A-B-D and capos at the second fret. But since you might not have a
capo (like me), I'll do the tab for the way I tune my guitar:
F# D C#D C# A G# C# A
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|---x--0---8--8-8-7h8p7---| ----x-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
|---x--0---8--8-8-7h8p7---| ----x-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
| -0-0-0---8--8-8-7h8p7---|---3-3-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
So most of the time you're just basically playing a big fat power chord,
with a doubled root note. Accent the D and G# chords by raking on the open
top two or three strings, right before "3" beat. (This is approximately a
sixteenth-note triplet before the actual "3" beat. Listen to the recording
for this, though, it's too beautifully subtle to properly notate.)
For the <strong>chorus</strong> part, use this 4-chord ascending progression:
F# A C# D (This will
mean playing the bottom strings open, then on the third, seventh, and
eighth frets.)
The rhythm stabs right after the choruses are played on the D chord. Add
the open top strings here again.
Remember to always check the recording, and if you hear variations there,
follow them rather than sticking to this tab. (I think, for example, that
Ani does not always go up to the C# in the second measure shown above.)
Play this one hard with your bare fingers, monster claws, or Nailene
press-on nails...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ANI DIFRANCO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
