Smoke Banshee
By Clutch
From the album ‘Pure Rock Fury’
Here’s another great song by Clutch. This one is very easy to play, although this
tab does not show timings so you’ll have to listen to the song for exact timings.
Intro – riff 1:
D|-7-9-7--7-9-7--7-7-9--7-9-7-
A|-7-9-7--7-9-7--5-7-9--7-9-7-
E|-5-7-5--5-7-5--5-5-7--5-7-5-
Next it’s the song’s main riff – riff 2:
D|-5-5-----------------
A|-5-5-5---5-7-5-5----- x4
E|-7-7---7---------7-5-
Verse – riff 3:
D|-9---12-9-
A|-9---12-9- x4
E|-7---10-7-
Chorus – play the riff 2 12 times
Verse – same as before
Chorus – same as before
Next another riff comes in – riff 4:
D|-9-9-9-9-12-9-9-9-9-7/9-9-
A|-9-9-9-9-12-9-9-9-9-7/9-9- x6
E|-7-7-7-7-10-7-7-7-7-5/7-7-
A bit of tremolo picked lead comes after it:
e|-----------------------
B|-----------------------
G|-11-11-11-11-11-9------
D|------------------12-9-
Play riff 4 another 8 times, then there’s some more lead.
Note – some notes are tremolo picked – listen to the song to find out which:
e|---------------------------------------------------10---10----10-
B|------------------------------------------------12----12----12---
G|------9-9b10r9-9-9-9-9--------------9-9b10r9-9-------------------
D|-9-12------------------12-9----9-12------------------------------
A|----------------------------12-----------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------
e|---10--------------------------------------------------------------
B|-12--12-10---------------------------------------------------------
G|-----------11-------9-9b10-9-9b10-11-9b10-11-9b10-11-9b10-11-9-----
D|---------------9-12--------------------------------------------12-9
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------
e|------------------------10--10--10---10------------
B|---------------------12---12--12---12---12-10------
G|------9-9b10r10-9-----------------------------11-9-
D|-9-12-------------12-------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------
Like most Clutch leads, this solo is mostly a tremolo picked mess, so use fast alternate
picking along the lines of the above really.
Play the intro again
Then play riff 2 8 times.
Finish on
D|-7-9-7-
A|-7-9-7-
E|-5-7-5- and you’re done.
Tab key:
b = bend to next note to pitch of next note
r = release bent note to pitch of next note
/ or = slide to next note
