Start Of Something Beautiful

Porcupine Tree

This is the live version from the Arriving Somewhere... dvd, the studio version is basically the same but with a few changes that shouldn't be a problem for you guys to figure out :) I know Porcupine Tree plays most in Drop tuning but this one is on standard (analyzed Steven's position on the dvd) The intro is done with a reaally cool tone that I have no idea how Steven gets, and volume swells... lots of sustain and vibrato too. e|---------14--15--14-12------17----19-------------------------17---14--15-14-12\---| B|-12-------------------------------------17---13b15---8b10-------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| verse 1 e|-------------------------------------| B|----3--------1--------2--------3-----| G|------3--------1--------2--------3---| D|-------------------------------------| A|-3--------1--------0-----------------| E|----------------------------1--------| e||----------------------------------------|| B||----------------------------------------|| G||o-2------------------------------------o|| D||o-2------2------3----------------------o|| x4 A||--0------2------3--------3-3-3p2-2------|| E||---------0------1------3-----------3----|| verse 2 e|-------------------------------------| B|----3--------1--------2--------3-----| G|------3--------1--------2--------3---| D|-------------------------------------| A|-3--------1--------0-----------------| E|----------------------------1--------| e||----------------------------------------|| B||----------------------------------------|| G||o-2------------------------------------o|| D||o-2------2------3----------------------o|| x3 A||--0------2------3--------3-3-3p2-2------|| E||---------0------1------3-----------3----|| e|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|--2----------------------------------2---| D|--2------2------3--------------------2---| hold the A chord A|--0------2------3--------3-3-3p2-2---0---| E|---------0------1------3-----------3-----| Again with the cool tone, volume swells, and the vibrato e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-10----12----13----17--15----17--20------20---13--15--12--13--12------| G|-------------------------------------19---------------------------12--| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------| B|-5-----8---10---12---13---12---10---(12)---| G|-------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| Steven switches to a clean tone for the solo e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----10----10/12-12h13-12------------------------------------------------| G|-9------9-----------------12--------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------12-10-9------------9-9h10-9--------9-10---| A|---------------------------------------12--12-12-----------12-12--------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------12--12/15---------------------------------------------| B|----10----10/12-12h13------------15-17--17/18--17---------------------------| G|-9------9------------------------------------------17-17/19--16-17--16\12---| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| And then the solo is repeated but this time on the overdriven channel. e||----------------------------------------------------|| B||----------------------------------------------------|| G||o-9---9-9-9---9-9-9---9-9-9/12-12-12\7-7-7/9-9-9---o|| D||o--------------------------------------------------o|| x3 A||----------------------------------------------------|| E||----------------------------------------------------|| e|---------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------| G|--9---9-9-9---9-9-9---9-9-9/12-12-12\7-7-7/9-9-2---| D|-----------------------------------------------2---| Hold the A chord A|-----------------------------------------------0---| E|---------------------------------------------------|
