Novelty -Joy Division I have only managed to figure out some bits of this so far. If you get any bits that aren't here please mail them to me and add to my education: Intro Riff: e|---------------------------- B|----1-----1------1------3--- G|---2-2---2--2---2--2---4-4-- D|--------------0------2------ <----These notes are actually played on bass, A|-0-----2-------------------- <----but if you're playing alone you need them. E|---------------------------- |---------------------------------- |----1-----1------1----5--3--1----- |---2-2---2--2---2--2-----------2-- |--------------0-------2----------- |-0-----2-------------------------- |---------------------------------- After that there is a kind of plucking riff which I can't figure out. Then the main verse riff is like(get your own timings): Em--palm mute-| D----| e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------------------2-2-2---- D|--5--5-5-5-5-5-5--4--4-5-4-0-2-2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2--4-4-5-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0---- A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The solo at the end of the first verse is something like: e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B|--5^-5^-5^5p3h5--3-5--3-5--3-5--3-5^-3-------2-3-3-3-3-3--2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---- G|---------------------------------------0----------------------------------0-0 D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This then goes back to the verse riff. Then there is the second solo at the end of the second verse(get own timings): e|------------------------------------------------------------------ B|--5^-5^-5^5p3h5--3-5--3-5--3-5--3-5^-3-----2-3-3-3-3-3--2-3-3-3-3- ^=bend G|---------------------------------------0-------------------------- h=hammer D|------------------------------------------------------------------ -on A|------------------------------------------------------------------ p=pull-off E|------------------------------------------------------------------ e|-------------------------------------------------------- B|-5^5^5^5^5^5^---2-3-3-3-3-3--2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------ G|---------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-- D|-------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------- e|----------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------- Then there is a bit of a G|--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6--4-4-2-4--4-4-4-2-4- power chord fill. Play the D|--5--5-5-5--4--4-4-4--2-2-0-2--2-2-2-0-2- chords where ever you want. A|----------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------- Then the guitar plays a simplified version of the verse riff. If you got to here you can manage the outro. --oOo--
