"Just Like You Imagined"
By Nine Inch Nails from 'The Fragile'
Intro Piano arranged for guitar:
E:---------------------
B:---10------6---5---3-
G:---------------------
D:---------------------
A:---------------------
D:---------------------
Bass:
G:-----------------------
D:-----5---5-------------
A:-----------------------
D:---0---0---3--5--8--10-
Rythm synth (guitar): (Fig 1)
E:--------------------------------------------------
B:--------------------------------------------------
G:--------------------------------------------------
D:---(10)-------12---12----3-----5-----8------10----
A:--------------------------------------------------
D:-------(10)-0----0-----3---3-5---5-8---8-10----10-
Lead Guitar 1: play for 7 bars
E:----------------13>----
B:-------------------15>-
G:---0-3h5-5--3h5--------
D:-----------------------
A:-----------------------
D:-----------------------
Distorted Guitar 1: (use a trace effect or a pitchbender set down an octave and pull up)
come in after 3 bars of lead guitar and play for 4 bars
E:-----------------------
B:-----------------------
G:---------3^3^3^3^3^3^3^
D:---0-xxx---------------
A:---0-xxx---------------
D:---0-xxx---------------
Break for 4 bars during piano solo then:
Slighty distorted guitar and Synth guitar both play Fig 1 for 8 bars
After 4 bars of Fig 1, Distorted guitar/synth guitar comes in with this for 4 bars:
E:---------------------
B:---------------------
G:---------------------
D:-------12------------
A:---------------------
D:---0-------3--5--8/7-
Cut for 4 bars to synth playing Fig1 and vocals
Then, (this is the really fucked part) 4 bars
I'm guessing there's some synth and distorted guitar playing something using these notes:
E:---------------------------
B:--------------15>----------
G:---------------------------
D:-----15-15-15------5-5-5-5-
A:-------------------5-5-5-5-
D:---0---------------5-5-5-5-
P-down------P-UP ///
use a pitch bender/trace:
Then layering up on synth and distorted guitar:
E:---------------------------
B:---------------------------
G:---------------------------
D:------12---12--------------
A:---------------------------
D:---0-----0----7/8/5--5/7/3-
You can build the D string notes into powerchords towards the end
and emphasise the open Ds with a pitchbender down an octave
End Piano part arranged for guitar:
E:-------------------
B:-------------------
G:--------2--3--7--9-
D:---3>--------------
A:-------------------
D:-------------------

| One of the best instrumentals I've ever heard. The bass, guitar, and keyboard blend together very nicely. If you go to http://nin.com/visuals/ and scroll down a bit, you can see them rehearse this song. You can get a feel for how smoothly Trent runs things. I wouldn't be surprised if this song hasn't already been used in a movie soundtrack. | |

| Ooh! Here's another way of looking at it: the 5 stages of grief 1) Denial - 0:00 to 0:38 2) Anger - 0:38 to 1:22 3) Bargaining - 1:22 to 2:26 4) Depression - 2:26 to 3:14 5) Acceptance - 3:14 to 3:49 (end) | |

| This song rocks. Everytime I hear it I can feel everything exploding, and the chills when the melody is unchained..is it a guitar? | |
