Priad-Luabe Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 http://musewiki.org/Reapers_(tablature) I decided to try and tab out the song based from the Newport Center recording, anybody fancy helping get it 100% accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nice one! I worked out bits of the solo but they still need sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Don't have a guitar on me so can't really play through most of the tab, but a little thing is that 1-3 bit on the A string in the chorus should be on the D string but higher up. Little things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I actually thought the verses were a bit different but hearing the Exeter one the tabbed version seems the most accurate. I guess I'll just add that the last A string fret in the bridge riff sounds like a 5 instead of 0. And just for the beef the chorus is all on the D string.

Priad-Luabe Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think you're right with that 5 on the A string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhaggart Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi All, So I currently am the holder of the highest rated version of reapers on ultimate guitar, and I am really happy with how good I've got it sounding. The one part that I really just can't get, is in the solo, after Matt has done his muted scratching with the slow increase on the whammy, he makes that cool 'wow' sound. From watching videos, it looks like it is created around the 5th fret, and with multiple strings, and judging by the lack of movement in matts hand along with the nature of the sound, it is pretty likely it is created with the whammy. I was wondering, is the fret barred at all? Are they natural harmonics? Is it the whammy that makes the sound? Basically, just how does one create a sound that is similar to that one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I play a harmonic on the 7th fret of the G string and put the whammy (set to +1) up really quickly then let it down slower, if that makes sense. It's not spot on but close-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It's whammy octave up slowly ascending during the scratching part, then quickly drop it down after you hit the harmonics. And yeah it is the 5th fret harmonics on the top 3 strings.

And yeah it is the 5th fret harmonics on the top 3 strings. Ahh I see. I think a combination of these is working nicely for me! I think my issue before was that I was using harmonics on the 5th fret but letting off the +1 way too fast and so it just sounded pretty poor. Harmonics on the 5th on DAD and leaning off the pedal a bit slower are sounding much better! Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
