with regards to the guitar tab for RHP - Summer Dress


this tab

D----------------------2--------
A-----0/1\0------3-----2-----1-0
F----2-----2-----2--2--------2-2
C---2-------2---0--0--0------2-2
G-0-----------------------0-3---
D------------0/2-----3---1------

and this tab...

D----------------------3--------
A-----0/1\0------3-----3-----1-0
F----2-----2-----2--2--------2--
C---2-------2---0--0--0------2-2
G-0-----------------------0-3---
D------------0/2-----3---1------


are wrong...


the last chord is infact an F not an Am
so the real thing goes like this...

D----------------------3---------
A-----0/1\0------3-----3------1-0
F----2-----2-----2--2---------2-2
C---2-------2---0--0--0-----3-3-3
G-0------------------------3-----
D------------0/2-----3--0/1------

the chord pattern goes

|Am     |F#/D   |G      |F     |


(chord names are as in standard tuning - EADGBE)

"Summer Dress"

(drop D tuning - meaning all strings are tuned down two half-steps)
Listen to song for rhythm:
D----------------------2--------
A-----0/1\0------3-----2-----1-0
F----2-----2-----2--2--------2-2
C---2-------2---0--0--0------2-2
G-0-----------------------0-3---
D------------0/2-----3---1------

this riff continues until Mark starts to sing "spends her life inside/
she thinks she isn't blessed", where it goes like this:

D---0---0---0---0---3-3-3---3----3--3--3--3-3----
A---1---1---1---1---0-0-0/1-0/1--0--0--0/1010/1\0
F--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0----------0----------------
C-0----------------------------------------------
G-----3---1---0----------------------------------
D-----------------3------------3-----------------

...AND THEN THE SONG CONTINUES THE SAME WAY (SEE 1ST PART), UNTIL THE
END, AT THE LYRICS "SAYS A PRAYER AS SHE'S KISSED BY OCEAN MIST", AT
WHICH POINT I DON'T KNOW HOW THE GUITAR PART GOES BECAUSE THOSE OTHER
STRING INSTRUMENTS ARE TOO LOUD, BUT IT'S NOT HARD TO FUDGE THE ENDING
ONCE YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE SONG.

THANKS,

James Roy

I tried out James Roy's version of "Summer Dress" by RHP, and found one
problem, and figured out the end chords.

The progression in the song is basically Am, D, G, Am, which you can strum
quite nicely with some hammering and pulling mixed in. So the picking
should go:

D----------------------3--------
A-----0/1\0------3-----3-----1-0
F----2-----2-----2--2--------2-
C---2-------2---0--0--0------2-2
G-0-----------------------0-3---
D------------0/2-----3---1------

(The only difference being the high notes on the 3rd fret rather than the
2nd; might have been a typo).

The end progression seems to be C, G, F, G. Keep in mind this is all drop D
tuning, so the notes I'm giving you are not the "true" notes, but the chord
formations you'd play in the lower tuning, i.e. a "G" chord is:

D--3
A--3
F--0
C--0
G--2
D--3

Hope that helps. with the song.
