Question Hey Andy. I just recently became a huge Sublime fan and have been trying to learn their songs on guitar. I can figure out most of the bar chords by ear but the soloing is a different story. I was just wondering if you knew some of the scales Brad runs in his songs. I think there is one he uses the majority of the time (ebin, lets go get stoned, 40 oz. live)? Thanks for any help!
Answer Hey steve...most of the scales run off the minor penatonic scales...he like to use the E minor penatonic alot.My best advice to you is to do what i did..get to a local music shop and pick up the tab books..the essentials are 40oz and sublime sublime..there's a greatest hits one..but most of the songs are already on the other two..i think you'll miss out on poolshark electric and saw red...but most tab sites have those mapped out pretty good.
The books will run you about 19-24 bucks and are worth every penny.You'll see the correct chord progressions..plus see the tab transcribed..and have the solos pin-point on...it helps to if you forget a song you can just open the book and wail.
What i like also is the layering on the guitars..if you play in a band or with friends you can have them hit the chords or single note licks as you solo over top.
