Pixies - Letter to Memphis (ryhtm guitar play along)

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

The guitar duos in this song always amazed me. Great writing from Frank and Joey.

Amazing, keep up the good work!

[@gollondblack6247]

Great choice for a song, nice and clear cam cheers

[@chrisari101]

this video really helped me to learn the rythm part, but i think in the begining francis plays the 13 note on the d string and the 11 note on the b strings and sometimes he hits the 11 note of the e string

[@sixpie.]

I'll have to check that. Learnt a lot of things from the recent Bossa/Trompe shows but I haven't posted updates on this channel for ages.

@@sixpie. don't worry, in the end you're still the most accurate channel, you literally killed it on rock music, it was so cool

[@j2kguitarjams757]

Always lived this song. Drop D and capo 1st? I do a couple Pixies on my channel

[@sixpie.]

J2K back in the day they had "drop D" tuned guitars also tuned 1 "whole" step up for Palace of the Brine & Letter to Memphis. You can also use a capo. Bird Dream is also a "regular" Drop-D, as well as Alec Eiffel & Planet of Sound. Trompe Le Monde has a lot of Drop D songs !

Explains a lot!

[@manilaboy1vic]

theres no drop d tab for this song.. however this vid is hopefully enough

[@pocojoyo]

what tuning is it ? Looks like Drop D but you it appears as if your playing all the six strings in the first chords barred like an open chord

[@sixpie.]

Hello. That's a Drop D. I'm mainly playing the 2 top strings (except for the "solo" part :-))

[@ioncewasmikey]

Are they playing it lower these days?

[@sixpie.]

On the recent Bossa-Trompe tour Frank was using guitars tuned one semitone higher for this one and a few others
