Hi there. Here's some tab for Sloan's excellent song, "Coax Me".
Too bad they called it quits. Um anyway, I've tabbed the first rhythm
guitar which Jay plays throughout the song. Patrick's part (guitar 2) is
just chords, and is explained at the end. There's also a third guitar that
comes in the bridge and plays chords, doubling Patrick and filling out the
sound. Just use the same chords as guitar 2.
GUITAR 1
--------
Play it clean and let it ring throughout. It's played entirely in the top 3
strings. Sometimes he doubles the high notes, but it's difficult to make
out when.

GUITAR 2
--------
This is all played with barre chords, and with a lot of palm muting. I'm not
sure if these are the exact voicings Patrick uses, but close enough. It
sounds like most of the chords are partial chords (i.e. only 3 or 4 of the
6 strings are actually played), but I'll let you figure out how best to play
them. Soundwise, you should use the bridge pickup (preferably a humbucker)
with mild distortion.

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 SLOAN 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.
