Night On The Sun Tabs

(ver. 1)
Modest Mouse
Night on the Sun
tab. by Daniel G


tuning:  e g# e g# b e (low to high)
issac plays this song on his danelectro

intro:
the intro riff is pretty easy (not as easy as the verse) but it is a
little tricky at first.

e  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
b  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
g# ------------------------------||------------------------------------
e  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
g# --------2^0---5^6-5\3-2^3--0--||--5-7-8-7\5-5\3-3-3--3-0------------
e  --0--4------------------------||------------------------------------
       repeat this three times       then play this

verse:
the verse is just two sets of harmonics been played in the whole notes.

e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
b  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
       *harmonics                   *harmonics

make sure to hit all the notes in a quick downstroke, and not rake it,
to get it so sound right.

after like two repetitions of that, start strumming the harmonics to
the rhythm of the song.

solo:
a standard wicked ass issac solo.
(section a)
e  -------------------||----------------------------------------------
b  --0------0--0--2---||-----4-4-4-4-4/5-5\4-2-0----------------------
g# ----0--------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  ------1------------||---------------------------------------------
g# -------------------||----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||----------------------------------------------
     play this twice       then play this twice
(section b)
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
b  --0-2-4-5-4-2-0----||-----5/7-5-4-5-4-0-5/7-5-4-5-4-2-0------
g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
     play this twice       then play this once (repeat section b a few times)


the last part:
issac is saying stuff like "if there's one thing i know about this town..."


and he plays stuff like this:

e  --------------------------------------------------------------------
b  ------7-4-----------------------------------------------------------
g# ----------5-3-2-0-2-------------------------------------------------
e  --4^7---------------------------------------------------------------
g# --------------------------------------------------------------------
e  --------------------------------------------------------------------

he does do variations of this theme, but i think its unessecary to
tab these out.  if yer band covers this song, this part should be yours.

the end.

my tab. explained:
common symbols:
^ -- hammer on, pull off
~ -- vibrato
\ -- slide down
