MATTHEW GOOD BAND - "Carmalina" Tablature
Official MATTHEW GOOD BAND Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist - Matthew Good Band
Song - Carmalina
Album - The Audio of Being
Tabbed by - Alec MacDonald
~~A Word about tuning: Tune the Gb, Db, and Ab, slightly above those. So each of them are in between
the flat and the real note. It's really weird, but the song sounds best like that. For the low C,
tune directly to C.

[3:13]
At this point, on the CD, the bassist has layered over top of this riff, some playing of the
open C string. You can hear it real quiet: it plays the same rhythm as the snare drum here.
(3:15) Interlude
Gb|------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------|
C |2---------------5---------------0---------------|
[3:21]
The open C string layering stops here.

(3:58) Outro
Gb|-----------------|
Db|-----------------|
Ab|2-2--------------|
C |------5-5--0-----| Let Ring.
[4:03]
Here's more layering. Extremely quiet: I had to shove my ear against the speaker at full volume
to hear it, but it's there believe me. The final open C string note is still ringing from above
when at this point [4:03], this is played.
Gb|----------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------|
C |2---------------5-----------------|
The open C string is not played, but it is still ringing, and at the end of that riff
cut off the 5. Please note again, EXTREMLY QUIET.
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 MATTHEW GOOD BAND 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.
