None of them
Artist: Placebo Song: Ill Be Yours Alright, hey now hey people. This is Placebo's song, "I'll Be Yours," from their album Sleeping With Ghosts, and if you don't have it I suggest you go get it if you consider yourselves a fan, and even if not, its got some real different stuff on it, this is one hell of a progression from last time. For a guitarist wanting to do a placebo cover, this is a no-brainer, there's no funky tuning or anything special like that involved, just a nice, simple little riff and a really easy solo at the end. Hell, you don't even need so much as a regular chord. So this is my first tab, cut me a little slack. Its mostly similar to the other versions out there, but what I'd say is definitely don't use double-picking on the song. Dunno if thats the right technical term or whatnot, but I really would avoid playing this as the following: 8-8-8 ----- <---------- No! Never! EVIL! 6-6-6 8-8-8 8-8-8 <---------- the (albeit incorrect) nice way 6-6-6 The reason I suggest this is simple; I honestly don't think it sounds good. Lets face it guys; you're never going to manage a true Brian Molko sound, lets deal with it. Instead, just keep it simple. Its easiest all round really. I'll continue waffling after I finish the tab, I can imagine you guys getting a little impatient now.

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- B|---4-----------4---------------------------------------------------------- G|-3---3-1-----3---3-1------------------------------------------------------ D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- A|---------4-6---------4-6-------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, revert back to the verse and chorus. Finally, the solo at the end of the song, to which the singer (Molko) occassionally says "yours": ------------ ------------ -3-1-3-1-1-4 ------4-4--- ------------ ------------ x3 ------------- ------------- -3-1-3-1----8 (let ring) ------4-4-3-- ------------- ------------- Thus completing the song. Now, thats the song bog standard without any suggestions or anything. I'd recommend, ofr a sound unlike placebo's: - using a distortion pedal (example: Boss DS-1) on the post-chorus solo & final solo, or on the chorus - using a palm-mute build-up on the chorus itself - generally intensifying the song performance, making it rougher - using a harmonic on the last note of the solo (i'll leave you to work it out) Okay, thats it. I'd like to think that for a first attempt at tabbing, it isn't terrible. Opinions and death threats to [email protected] please.
