Squirm Tab: Standard Tuning

[gakm7]

I've seen a lot of tabs for it with a Capo on 10 or Drop D with Capo on 3 and whatever else you can think of, but I never found one for Standard Tuning.

I've never made tabs on here before, but I thought that I would lay out how I play Squirm b/c I haven't seen a tab on here for Standard Tuning.

Outro is the same as the "Why Should I Feel Intrusion" part.

Hope the tab was half way decent. :D

Not bad at all. I do prefer to use my Capo and Drop D tab, but for a non-capo'ed one this is good.

I did edit it (cut out some dashes) and used the "code" option so it looks better:

The "code" option does make it look way better. Thanks for notifying me about that and doing it for me. :D

I think that the Capo 10 thing that people do is dumb because it is nearly impossible to play with a capo that high on the neck.
I like the Capo & Drop D tab just like you do, but I prefer to not use my capo whenever I can, so I thought that I would sound it out on Standard Tuning.

[crazyhorse]

would someone be able to post the drop D tabs to this song and/or the capo 10 version

I play it that way. Sounds right to me. Otherwise, good tab. I use standard tuning w/ capo on 7th with pretty much your chords. It's easier to sing than the original key ;-) And I never play the chord extensions in brackets. I'm pretty sure Dave doesn't play them. Too many strings at the same time :lol
