MINUTEMEN - "do you want new wave" Tablature
Official MINUTEMEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
@Song: Do You Want New Wave (or Do You Want the Truth)?
Written by Mike Watt
Recorded by Minutemen on album "Double Nickles on the Dime" (SST)
File format: tab, btab
Transcription: Gary Von Colln
The main chords in this song are Bm and D. The Bridge is Fm. The
guitar part uses fast right hand picking or slow strums so that the
individual notes from the chords sound. Use your thumb and index
finger or thumb and middle finger to pluck the two strings for the
turnaround riff.
I have also tabbed the bass part.

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 MINUTEMEN 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.
