The Test For Leprosy
--------------------
From Tourniquet's "Stop The Bleeding"
Words & Music by Ted Kirkpatrick
As a lot of you have responded to my posting of Skeezix (thanks), I will send
you what I know of this song (Texts of songs ). It starts with a descending riff like this:
E -------------------------------------------||
B -------------------------------------------||
G --4--2--0----------------------------------||
D -----------4--2--0-------------------------||
A ----------------------3--2--0--------3-----||
E -------------------------------3--2--1-----||
>
Then the groove kicks in:
E5 B5 C5 G5 F#5 F5
E ----------------------------------------------------|
H ----------------------------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------------------------|
D --2------------4------------5-----------------------|
A --2------------2------------3------------5---4---3--|
E -----0-0--0-0-----0-0--0-0-----0-0--0-0--3---2---1--|
> > > > > >
E5 B5 C5 N.C.
E -------------------------------------------------------|
H -------------------------------------------------------|
G -------------------------------------------------------|
D --2------------4------------5------------------2--4-5--|
A --2------------2------------3------------2-3-5---------|
E -----0-0--0-0-----0-0--0-0-----0-0--0-0----------------|
> > >
(As for tha actual rhythms I've tried to illustrate them by the space
between each note. Listen to the record and this shouldn't be a problem.)
The Riff is to be played twice, after wich you shift to a C5 chord, holding it
for four measures. Then the first verse begin. Under this just play the main
riff. During the pre-chorus play this:
C5 B5 N.C.
E --------------------------------------------------------|
H --------------------------------------------------------|
G --------------------------------------------------------|
D --------5----5--------5----5--4----4---4----------------|
A --3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--2--2-2-2-2--2-3-5-3--2-0--|
E --------------------------------------------------------|
C5 B5 N.C.
E --------------------------------------------------------|
H --------------------------------------------------------|
G --------------------------------------------------------|
D --------5----5--------5----5--4----4---4--------2--4-5--|
A --3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--2--2-2-2-2--2-3-5---------|
E --------------------------------------------------------|
C5 B5 N.C.
E --------------------------------------------------------|
H --------------------------------------------------------|
G --------------------------------------------------------|
D --------5----5--------5----5--4----4---4----------------|
A --3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--2--2-2-2-2--2-3-5-3--2-0--|
E --------------------------------------------------------|
C5 B5 Two gtrs.:
E ------------------------------------------------------|
H ------------------------------------------------------|
G ------------------------------------------------4--2--|
D --------5----5--------5----5--4----4---4--1--2--5--4--|
A --3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--2--2-2-2-2--2--3--------|
E ------------------------------------------------------|
So far so good! Unfortunately I haven't figured out the chorus.
The rhytm is basically the same as the verse, and the tonality is
definitely E, but I think there is some twist to it. However anything
like that will brobably do... (maybe YOU can figure it out).
Then follows another verse/pre-chorus/chorus. Then there's this cool, slow
post-chorus (which I cannot remember at the time, but it's just some harmonic
minor thing harmonized in thirds). Then follows this incredible diminished
harmonized riff:
1st guitar: 2nd guitar:
E -------------------------|---------------------------|
H -------------------------|---------------------------|
G -------------------------|---------------------------|
D ----------4--5--5-4------|-----------7--8--8-7-------|
A --4-4-6-7-----------7----|--7-7-9-10-----------10----|
E -------------------------|---------------------------|
(Of course gtr. 1 plays the riff a few times before gtr. 2 enters)
As you can see the harmony part is just moved three frets up. This is
due to the periodic structure of the diminished scale.
D5E5 E5 3x N.C.
E -||-----------------||-------------------------|
H -||o---------------o||-------------------------|
G -||o---------------o||-------------------------|
D -||--7/9-----9------||-5-4---4-1---1-----------|
A -||--5/7-----7------||---------------2---2-----|
E -||------0-0----0-0-||---------------------3---|
(I'm not too sure about that last bit as this is done from memory, so try
it out for yourself!)
And finally the outro riff, which is a speedy little thing:
(E5) N.C. (C5) N.C.
E ------------------------------------------------------|
H ------------------------------------------------------|
G ------------------------------------------------------|
D ---------------5-4-2-0-2-2----------------5---0--0-2--|
A ----------------------------3333333333333-------------|
E -0000000000000----------------------------------------|
After a few times the riff is harmonized. Here goes the harmony part:
(E5) N.C. (C5) N.C.
E ------------------------------------------------------|
H ------------------------------------------------------|
G ------------------------------------------------------|
D ---------------9-7-5-4-5-5----------------9---4--4-5--|
A ----------------------------3333333333333-------------|
E -0000000000000----------------------------------------|
(Maybe you like to play that some other way, if find it a little
awkward). Again this is from memory, so...
Well. There's some gunslinging (i.e. soloing) on top of that, and then
the song (Texts of songs ) ends... That's about what I've figured out. I bet there's
some guy (or girl) out there who can fill in what I didn't get.
