Subject: Cake Tablature(The Distance)
The tabber before me almost had it all right, but there were a few minor
Problems with it, so I decided to send them to you. Mine is easier to read
Too, because I do not put in the rythym parts. You guys are smart enough to
Do it yourselves out there.
First Part: throughout verses repeating over and over
E—————————————————
B—0—-1-/-3—1-0———0-h-1-p-0——-
G—0—-2-/-4—2-0—2—-0-h—2-p-0—2—-
D————————-4———————4—
Trumpet part(not played by guitar, but it sounds cool!):
E-7-6-5-3-2-0-0-0-
G-8-7-6-5-3-2-1-0-
Chorus:
A———————012—————5/7-75
E-00-00-00-03b———00-00-0———7
Tab:»The Distance» by Cake
Album: Fashion Nugget
This is a really good song of an incredible album. I’m calling this one the biggest surprise album of 1997. I’m pretty sure this tab is accurate, because I saw them play it live here(Montreal) in December.
Verse Riff(Clean tone)
E:I———————————I
B:I—0—1/31-0——0h1p0—0—I
G:I—0—2/42-0-2—-0h2p0-2-0—I
D:I—————4———-4——I
A:I———————————I
E:I———————————I
Do that as many times as needed, then skip the part with the trumpet until this:
Chorus(Distorted)
E:I—————————-I—————————I
B:I—————————-I—————————I
G:I—————————-I—————————I
D:I—————————-I—————————I
A:I———————-0-1-2-I——————5/7-7-5—I
E:I-0-0—0-0—0-0—0-3b4——-I-0-0—0-0—0-0—0———7I
There’s also this part, which is thrown in here and there:
Post-Chorus(Distorted)
E:I————————I
B:I————————I
G:I————————I
D:I———2—————I
A:I——————0-1-2—I
E:I—0-3-0—3b4-4———I
! !
I’m not sure if this is done with a hammer-on or not.
That’s all the guitar in the song. I just want to mention that according to an interview with their guitarist, Cake gets their unique sound by buying the cheapest, beat-up equipment they can find. Cool, eh!
