311 transistor7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() THE OTHER RIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THE SINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW, BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". ![]() because we did not want our fans to have to pay $22.Date: Tue, 02:30:20 -0500 (EST) From: Fred Lidskog Subject: 3/311/transistor.tab "Transistor" Performed by 311 >From the album "Transistor" on Capricorn/Mercury Records Music by: Chad Sexton Lyrics by: Nick Hexum and Doug Martinez (c) 1997 Hydroponic Music BMI - Tabbed by Fred Lidskog NOTE: ANOTHER INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG, AND ONE THAT I NOW THINK IS THE RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT, IS TO PLAY ONLY THE NOTES LISTED ON THE LOW "E" STRING, AND NOT THE ONES ON THE "A" STRING. "After we realized how many songs we had to choose from - we purposely decided to release a double album's worth of material on one CD. "We wanted to give our fans a lot of music because they have been waiting for our new album for a while," said drummer Chad Sexton. "Transistor" includes 21 tracks and clocks in at about 70 minutes. The band was also conscious of giving listeners good value. "311 has always had the same message of respecting other people - because in some ways, those other people are you." ![]() "The concept behind `Transistor' is very positive - it's about how all humans are connected," Hexum said in a press release. "I found a bootleg of the cosmic conscious, then erased it, visualized the breath technique, slowly became it, now something is watchin' me, since I have found the keys, to free this energy," the band intones on a track called "Galaxy." That subcategory of reggae - which features spacey deconstructions of bass-heavy Jamaican grooves - made a perfect connection with the group's lysergic lyrics. "One of the biggest influences was dub music," Mahoney said. "Our producer, Scotch Ralston, had the same attitude - anything goes." "We wanted to get more out there, with effects, trippy sounds, overdubs, layers and textures," Mahoney said. "Transistor" is a looser, more free-wheeling effort than the ultra-popular "311." ![]()
