      I’ve got the intro/verse down, anyone have the rest?

        I would be curious to see what you came up with. The other tabs I’ve seen don’t do it justice.

        I’m looking for the live version like on Whatever’s Cool With Me.

          i thought the intro/verse already posted from the guy who tabbed all of the Martin + Me album was fine:

          and occasionally J plays the slightly altered version (changes the verse a bit) like on Whatever’s Cool.

          (^ you bend 7 on the A string, its adds more effect)

          those sound right, and fuzz also tried tabbing the solo (some of it) and it sounds pretty close to it, scroll down a bit:

            These helped, but do me a favor…play the song with dropped D tuning.

            Try playing the intro on Whatever’s Cool With Me this way and especially when it slows down during the guitar solo, but still heavily distorted when he plays the intro again.

            I think Thumb on Whatever’s Cool With Me is a much better version and I love the guitar solo.

            I’m convinced he uses a dropped D tuning.

              hmmm.. i don’t know if J has ever used a different tuning besides just using capos. but hey, he might’ve tried to during the grunge scene. i’ll try it.

                O.K. – No drop D – Move along.

                Still like to see what others think of how to play intro on thumb live.
