Father of Mine
Everclear
Transcribed by CHriS DupoNT
This song is tuned up about 1 quarter step. This means that the C#, for example is neither a C# nor a D. It's somewhere right in between. So what you have to do is listen to the CD and play the base notes of the power chords on your A string. It will sound flat. Tune the A string UP until the notes sound right. Then tune the rest of your guitar to the A string. So tuning should be EADGBE about 1/4 step up.
S=slide
ho=hammer on
po=pull off
b=bend
r=return

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 EVERCLEAR 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.
