 ~Subject: TAB: LaGrange (Rhythm only)
 Here is how I play the rhythm part of LaGrange. Our other guitarist does
 the lead, so I've never bothered to learn it (and therefore haven't
 included it :-)
 Picking style is key to the percussive sound of this piece. Under
 each section I have placed the following symbols:
 
 	^	indicates picking with an upward motion
 	v	indicates picking with a downward motion
 
 With a little practice, you can get a smooth up/down pattern esatblished,
 and it stays the same throughout the song.

     v  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^     ^ v  ^ v  ^ v  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^
 
 During the first verse, keep repeating the section above between |: and :|
 occasionally playing it this way to emphasize the words:
 
 -----------------------------------
 -----------------------------------
 ---2----2----2----2--2--2--2--2----
 ---2----2----2-2--2--2--2--2--2----
 -----3----5----0-------------------
 -----------------------------------
    ^ v  ^ v  ^ v  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^
 
 Then after 'They got a lot o' nice girls' comes the break. Resume playing
 the same as above with heavy distortion:
 
 ----------------------|--------------------------------|
 ----------------------|--------------------------------|
 -------2--2--2--2--2--|.-2----2----2----2--2--2--2--2-.|
 ----2--2--2--2--2--2--|.-2----2----2-2--2--2--2--2--2-.|

 ----------------------|--------------------------------|
     v  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^     ^ v  ^ v  ^ v  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^
 
 Keep repeating the part in between |: :| during the second verse, then
 after 'I might be mistaken', switch to:
 
 
 ----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
 ----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
 ----------------------------|.-----8--8-10--10-------------------------.|
 ----10-10--10--10--10--10---|.--10-8--8-10--10-10--10--10--10--10--10--.|
 ----10-10--10--10--10--10---|---10-------------10--10--10--10--10--10---|
 ----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
     v  ^   ^   ^   ^   ^        ^  v  ^ v   ^  v   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^
 
 Then, during the guitar solo, keep playing the above section between |: :|
 When the solo comes to an end, this is the pattern and the break:
 
 ------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------8--8-10--
 ----10-10--10--10--10--10-----10-8--8-10--
 ----10-10--10--10--10--10-----10----------
 ------------------------------------------
     v  ^   ^   ^   ^   ^      ^  v  ^ v
 
 |-------5---5---5-----5---5---5-----5---5---5----------------|
 |------------------------------------------------------------|
 |.--------------------------------------------------------2-.|
 |.--4/5---5---5---3/4---4---4---2/3---3---3---------------2-.|
 |-----------------------------------------------0--0--3h4----|
 |------------------------------------------------------------|
 (I usually play the D string with my pick and the E string with
    my middle finger. You can, of course, play both with your pick)
 
 
 Repeat the break between |: and :| twice, then go back to the
 clean part (same as the very first section). Play it 4 times,
 hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the fade...
 
 
 Have fun,
