All Hands on the Bad One

All Hands on the Bad One, "All Hands on the Bad One"

This, followed by Youth Decay - wow - most bands would be happy just to have just one of these songs.  S-K has a boatload.

Tabbing this was very frustrating. Riff 3 is a masterpiece of guitar and vocal harmony, rhythm and guitar interplay.  It has a bass intro and stacks guitars and vocals on top. This is the definition of Sleater-Kinney magic. You can't get it all done on two guitars.  You can get close.   I haven't done it justice.

As usual the guitar 2's rhythms are vital to the S-K sound.  It's still good if you don't get it just right.

I sure hope I've done this well enough for you to figure out.

• Quarter note = 153 or so.
• Standard tuning. But tuning down 3 half steps makes Riff 3 easier and more authentic.
• Tabbed where it felt good on the fretboard but there are alternatives.
• Tuning down is required for authenticity but it sounds great in standard tuning
