Song: "This World" Group: Caedmon's Call Album: _My Calm//Your Storm_ By: Aaron Tate The part in the official songbook is Cliff Young's rhythm part. Derek Webb plays lead. It seems to work fine standard tuned. Derek's chords: E|--0---0---0---2---2--- B|--0---3---0---3---2--- G|--2---2---1---4---2--- D|--2---0---2---4---4--- A|--0---x---2---2---4--- e|--x---x---0---x---2--- open A9 D9 E Bm F#m The chord progression goes A D E A A D E E over and over until "least of these" when it goes B D A E twice, then back to the above until "now I'm waking" when it goes F E F E F E D D and back to the above again. You might want to try picking the intro which is eight measures something like this: E|------0--------|------0--------|------0--------|------0--------| B|----------0--(0)----------3--(3)----------0--(0)--------------0| G|----2----------|----2----------|----1----------|----2-----1----| D|---------------|0--------------|---------------|---------------| A|0--------------|---------------|---------------|0--------------| e|---------------|---------------|0--------------|---------------| A9..............D9..............E...............A9............. |------0--------|------0--------|------0--------|------0--------| |----------0--(0)----------3--(3)----------0----|--0-------0----| |1h2------------|----2----------|----1---------2|--------------2| |---------------|0--------------|---------------|---------------| |---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| |---------------|---------------|0--------------|---------------| ................D9..............E.............................. The rest of the song is just strumming simple patterns. You can throw in the same hammers-on the 3rd string as are in the intro. You probably don't want to try the solo unless there is another guitar on rhythm, which is the part in the songbook. (The other guitar does add a lot though, even without the solo.) The solo is mostly just alternating picking between the bottom string open and the basic melody of the solo. For a guitar solo, it is relatively easy, but it still might be a challenge. Transcribed by Trevor Stilwell 3:02am 7/19/1997 Guitar solo in "This World" by Caedmon's Call From the albums "My Calm//Your Storm" and "Caedmon's Call" Words and music by Aaron Tate Copyright 1994 Cumbee Road Music ASCAP Romans 12 Rhythm is capo 2 in G; lead/solo is open in A. Actually, the solo is "stacked", meaning it's played a second time and dubbed over the first. The only times the two parts split--so you won't be able to exactly duplicate the sound of the studio version--are measures 7-8 and 15-16 of the solo. The first time isn't very noticeable if you have a rhythm guitar as well; the second time, either way works by itself (the first is easier), or you can try to combine the main parts of both, or just improvise. Subjectively, I'd say the song is in 2/2 time, but i used 8/8 to make tabbing easier. s = slide p = pull-off h = hammer-on v = vibrato Bar 1 2 Count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 e-|------------0-------0----------|----0-------0---------------0--| b-|3--s5-------------------5--s3--|----------------3--s2----------| g-|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| d-|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| a-|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| e-|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| Rhythm G..............................
