Artist: Yo La Tengo
Album: I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
(Release Date: September 12, 2006)
Song: Daphnia
A pretty calm instrumental off of I Am Not Afraid of You.... Not exactly my favorite YLT
song, but why not tab it anyway?
Tuning: Standard
The first six minutes of the song go like this:
|e-------------------------------------|
|B-------------------------------------|
|G-------------------------------------|
|D---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|
|A-------------------------------------|
|E-------------------------------------|
Then, at about 6:08 and until about 6:48, the following melody is played:
|e----------------------------------------------------|
|B---------1-1----------1-1---------1-1---------1-1---|
|G---0---2-------0----2-------0---0-------0---0-------|
|D-----3-----------3------------3-----------3---------|
|A----------------------------------------------------|
|E----------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/y/yo_la_tengo/daphnia_tab.html ]
The only small variation of the previous riff occurs at about 6:38, when only one note
is different (for one bar):
|e---------------|
|B---------1-----|
|G---0---2---2---|
|D-----3---------|
|A---------------|
|E---------------|
From 6:48 to the rest of the song, the following combination of riffs is played:
|e---------5-5---------5-5---------3-3---------3-3------------------------| With this melody:
|B-------3-----------3-----------1-----------1-------| 1st time: repeat--| 2x
|G---0-2---------0-2---------0-2---------0-2---------| 2nd time: repeat--| 3x
|D---------------------------------------------------| 3rd time: repeat--| 2x
|A---------------------------------------------------| 4th time: repeat--| 1x
|E------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|B-------3-----------3-----------1-3-3-------1-3-3---|
|G---0-2---------0-2---------0-2---------0-2---------|
|D---------------------------------------------------|

|E---------------------------------------------------|
