VIRGINIA REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN ( live ) – Built to Spill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Benson
Email: dontcallmebenny@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Main Riff: This is the basic melody, octaves of E, C# and B.
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9---6---4---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-7---4---2---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
For the first solo, improvise around this riff 4 times:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-12-10-14-10-9-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then, go back to the main riff, but stay on the C#, don’t go to the B. The
bridge section is sliding octaves – E, Eb, C#, B then back to E.
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-8-6-4-9---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-7-6-4-2-7---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
That’s pretty much it, for the solos just improvise in E major pentatonic.
