Bad That Is Beautiful by The Littlest Man Band
As far as I could tell, this band didn't have any correct tabs. Anywhere.
This song is fingerpicked on an acoustic in standard tuning
MAIN RIFF: This is played for most of the song. Difficult at first, but you get the hang
it after awhile.
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------7----7---------------------------------|
G|-4---6p4---4-----------9---------------4p0----------9--|
D|-6-6----6---6---8----8-8-------2-----2-----2--4-6---9--|
A|----7-----7--7----9-7-----9-7----3----------3-5-7------|
E|-------------------------------5---5--5-----------0----|
Repeat this through the intro and the verse until "practice makes perfect..."
The chords used here are:
A C#m F# Am
0 4 2 0
2 5 2 1
2 6 3 2
2 6 4 2
0 4 4 0
X X 2 X
Pluck the bottom note of the chord once then strum the rest of the chord twice, except
the Am at the end. Listen to it to figure it out.
A
Practice makes perfect is what they all say
C#m F#
But no amount of practice will be able to stop you
A Am
From turning everything bad that is beautiful
Back to the main riff until "smashing it to pieces..."
A
Smashing it to pieces may make you feel better
C#m F#
But no amount of smashing will be able to stop you
A Am
From feeling something bad that is beautiful
For the skat part, keep playing the main riff for 8 measures (the song is in 6/8)
Then play the second half of the main riff for 8
