Here&#039;s Plume this is from memory right now since I don&#039;t have my guitar with
me.. I haven&#039;t figured out the entire solo yet but will post the whole thing
when I do.. I think the little bridge after the chorus might be wrong too..
I&#039;m trying to play it in my head.. I&#039;ll see if I can figure out the solo in 
a couple days then I&#039;ll re-post it.

Plume - Smashing Pumpkins
jec@gas.uug.arizona.edu

-=<(This is how I play.)>=-

The way this works:
I&#039;ll give Parts A-whatever, and I&#039;ll put a legend at the end that tells
what order to play each part in.   

                                       *My legend:
Ex:                                   / - Slide up    P - Pull off
[Part A] - 4 times                     - Slide down  H - Hammer on
[Part B] - 3 times                    ^(n) - Bend up n steps.
[Part A] - 4 times                    n_|_(n) - Tie through to next bar
etc...

Here&#039;s my shot at Plume. So far I&#039;ve seen two attempts at it, and one&#039;s
been halfway decent.  The one on ftp.nevada.edu (IMHO) isn&#039;t that good.
You&#039;ll note the difference that the main riff only shifts on two of the
notes, not the whole chord (as found on ftp.nevada.edu).

[Part A] - Main riff Always starts RIGHT on the beat (beat 4 that is)
and isn&#039;t straight when played, a little hang if you will.

No dropped D tuning.
     * beat four         * beat one  (rest one beat, 3rd beat)
||---------------------|--------------||  - Can be played differently
||---------------------|--------------||  - First half can be played
||---4-H-5-P-4-H-5-P-4-|--------------||    10 10 10 10 10 5 5 5 5
||---3-H-5-P-3-H-5-P-3-|--5---5--5-5--||     7  8  7  8  7 3 3 3 3
||---3-(hold this note)|--5---5--5-5--||     (which is what i think ftp wants
||---------------------|--3---3--3-3--||      to be)
     ^
     ^ this is the only time to strike in the riff (&#039;cept for the G chord)

Of course, you can tell how many times to play through the verse and stuff.
There is also the little break (easy to figure when). Don&#039;t forget to cut off
the riff when you go into the break:

[Part B]  (beat 4)       (full measure)                (beat o
||---------------------|------------------------------|-------------||
||---------------------|------------------------------|-------------||
||---4-H-5-P-4-H-5-P-4-|------------------------------|-------------||
||---3-H-5-P-3-H-5-P-3-|--2--2-2--3---3-/-10-10-10-10-|--5---5--5-5-||
||---3-(hold)----------|--2--2-2--3---3-/-10-10-10-10-|--5---5--5-5-||
||---------------------|--0--0-0--1---1-/-8--8--8--8--|--3---3--3-3-||
[Back to Part A]

That was the first break in the middle of the verse, here&#039;s the lead into the
chorus:

[Part C]
  (4th beat)            (full measure)    (2 beat measure)
||--------------------|-------------------|-------------||
||--------------------|-------------------|-------------||
||--4-H-5-P-4-H-5-P-4-|-------------------|-------------||
||--3-H-5-P-3-H-5-P-3-|--2--2-2--3-(ring)-|--3-(ring)---||
||--3-(hold)----------|--2--2-2--3-(ring)-|--3-(ring)---||
||--------------------|--0--0-0--1-(ring) |--1-(ring)---||

Chorus (My boredom has outshined the sun...)
[Part D]
(4 times then next line)
||---3----3---0--0---0--|--0---0--0-0-(ring)--||  Basic Pattern:
||---0----0---0--0---0--|--1---1--1-1-(ring)--||  G(5) -> E(m) -> C(5)
||---0----0--(0)(0)-(0)-|--0---0--0-0-(ring)--||  (either major or 5th,
||---0----0---2--2---2--|--2---2--2-2-(ring)--||   depends on my mood, and
||---2----2---2--2---2--|--3---3--3-3-(ring)--||   again, minor or 5th on 
||---3----3---0--0---0--|---------------------||   the E)

||---------------------------||
||---------------------------||
||---------------------------||
||--7--7-7--7-/-10-10-(ring)-||
||--7--7-7--7-/-10-10-(ring)-||
||--5--5-5--5-/--8--8-(ring)-||

---post chorus solo---

Basically lots of runs and purls and bends on the Eminor/Gmajor scale.
BC uses lots of phaser or flanger (probably that Bi-Mutron Phase thingy) on
it, so, have fun with it. I do!

||---------------------------------------10^(1)-12---||
||---10--12--10-12---10---12--10-12-P-10-------------||
||---------------------------------------------------||
||---------------------------------------------------||
||---------------------------------------------------||
||---------------------------------------------------||
This is just the start. Play with it. Improv. from this or from the start.
Hell, be original. (= I haven&#039;t figured out the solo yet.;)

Post chorus rythym                  Here I think the two guitars split
[Part E]			    on the G chord. One goes high, the other
 				    low...(for a wide range of tone)
||---------------------------------------------------------------------||
||---------------------------------------------------------------------||
||----------------------------------------12_|_(12)--12--12-12-(ring)--||
||----------------------------------------12_|_(12)--12--12-12-(ring)--||
||---12--14--12-14---12---14---12-14--12-10_|_(10)--10--10-10-(ring)--||
||---10--12--10-12---10---12---10-12--10------------------------------||

This is played twice and then the rest of the post-chorus solo is the
chorus guitar.

The rest is just another verse (well, kinda). After the chorus part on the
solo, there&#039;s a slight break, then the solo ends accompanied by the
verse line, and then another verse.
Then, another chorus. Then, another solo.
It&#039;s one giant pattern played twice.

Here&#039;s the map:

[Part A] - 7 times (Singing starts 5th time)
[Part B] - 1 time (&quot;what a waste...&quot;)
[Part A] - 3 times
[Part C] - 1 time (Right before chorus)
[Part D] - 1 time (note: Part D has repeats in it)
---post-chorus solo---
[Part E] - 2 times
[Part D] - 1 time (note: Pard D has repeats in it)
---break---
[Part A] - 7 times (second verse starts 5th time)
[Part B] - 1 time (&quot;God oh please...&quot;)
[Part A] - 3 times
[Part C] - 1 time
[Part D] - 1 time (again, the repeats are in there)
---post-chorus2 solo---
[Part E] - 2 times
[Part D] - 1 time (Slide down the fretboard at the end, ps - repeats ;) )

End.

From: Van Vekris <3EV1@QUCDN.QUEENSU.CA>

OK...Tons of people have tabbed this song incorrectly I think.  this is a
 really easy way to play it:


    ----->   Drop D tuning   <--------


  |----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  |--0-h-1---0-h-1-------------------------------------------------------------
  |--0-------0-----------------------------------------------------------------
  |-------------------h5----5---5--5-------------------------------------------
  |-------------------h5----5---5--5-------------------------------------------
  |-------------------h5----5---5--5-------------------------------------------

       &quot;h&quot; = a hammer on

    - This is the main riff of the song.  I don&#039;t have the time to tab the rest
       of it but you&#039;ll find its really easy with the dropped-D tuning. If you
       are still having problems with it or are just musically retarded, write
       me.

Before we get to the solo,  I would like to map out the order of
this song.  This is the order the song should be.

 Riff  1    7x
 Riff  1A   1x

 Riff  1A   1x
 Riff  2    3x
 Riff  2A   1x
 Riff  3    2x
 Riff  2    3x
 Riff  2A   1x

I hope this clears up any confusion. Now on to the solo. The first
solo starts on Riff 3 the first time around. There are MANY bends
that I had trouble explaining. You will definitly have to listen
to the solo to get the feel. But for the most part of it, it&#039;s pretty
much right. Just remember, BENDING IS THE KEY TO THIS SOLO!

There&#039;s another bar left in the first solo but I can&#039;t figure
it out.  There&#039;s too much feedback or something. It&#039;s based
around an E pentatonic. Maybe someone else can figure it out.

Well, this is what I came up with.  I know it probably seems hard
to understand but if you e-mail me I will be  happy to clear up
any confusion. Also, if you have any corrections mail me at
scb01085@mail.wvnet.edu. There are mistakes on my part, but
for the most of it, it sounds great through a phaser.
