GRANDADDY - "am 180" Tablature
Official GRANDADDY Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: AM 180
Band: Grandaddy
Tab by: Christopher Dineen (superflypimpguy_2000@yahoo.com)
Tuning: standard
Notes: I've noticed the lack of Grandaddy guitar tabs on the net so I thought i'd give am 180 a bash.
It's also my first tab so don't start harassing me if you think it's crap.
Mad keyboard noises arranged for guitar:

You'll have to listen pretty hard to make all of this out (but the bends should
be easy to hear so use them as a guide for the rest). If you can't hear
it and don't have a clue, then just play random notes in the 14 fret followed
by the quick bend and it should sound okay.
<FINAL VERSE>
The singing goes on for a bit.
Just after you hear:
"...and take on whatever together"
Something like this is played.

Then back to
FIG 1 (x6)
and
FIG 2 (x6)
then a little piano bit and that's it!
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 GRANDADDY 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.
