None of the tabs I saw of this seemed right so I figured I'd have a crack.


INTRO/CHORUS

If you tremolo pick this and turn the tone down a bit you can get a similar sort of
to that on the record...or you can spend a ridiculous amount of money on a Korg synth. I
Kele must use some sort of tremelo effect as when they play live he only picks each note
the synth is the dominant part anyway.

I'm not entirely sure about the alteration from playing the E on the 21st fret the first
to playing it on the 9th the second time through. It is most likely that Russel is
a pitch shifter or POG to add the higher octave. Once more though, this is the version
we people without stupid amounts of money to spend on pedals.


VERSE


Synth/Guitar 1

e|------------------------------------||
B|------------------------------------||
G|------------------------------------||
D|------------------------------------||
A|------------------------------------||
E|9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-5-5-5-5-||

Same rhythm as the intro. The Pre-Chorus is just the 9th fret on the E string.


Guitar 2
(This is only played in the second verse)

e|---------------------------------19----------19-||
B|---------19----------19-------------------------||
G|18-20-21----18-20-21----18-20-21----18-20-21----||
D|------------------------------------------------||
A|------------------------------------------------||
E|------------------------------------------------||

This is repeated throughout the second verse. Russell slowly brings the tone up on a wah.

If that is too awkward you can play it in a couple of other ways.

e|---------------------------------19----------19-||
B|---16-17-19----16-17-19----16-17-------16-17----||
G|18----------18----------18----------18----------||

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

BRIDGE


It just sounds like everything holds the C# (9th fret on the E string) however Russell
picks an E (2nd fret on the D string) and slides up into the final chorus towards the end
the bridge.


The final chorus sounds as though Russell throws in a few changes possibly. You can try
out, all you need to know is that it's in E major.

Alright, I played all the tabs on the site (excluding guitar pro because I
temporarily don't have it) and they were all wrong to my ear. Sorry guys!

Guitar 1: Russel Lissack

Tabbed by Tiggy Tiggemann (tiggy_m-cat@hotmail.com)

I tried looking for tabs for the live version of Flux but didn't find any so I decided
make my own. The video i used to tab this out will be at the bottom of the tab

Synth Intro (Tremolo picked)
[e]---------------------------------------------------------|
[b]---------------------------------------------------------|
[g]---------------------------------------------------------|
[D]---------------------------------------------------------|
[A]4---0-------2--3-4-----0---------------------------------|
[E]--------0----------------------0-------------------------|

Guitar Intro/1st chorus (Russell, Tremolo picked also)
[e]------------------------------------------|
[b]------------------------------------------|
[g]------------------------------------------|
[D]9----2----6----4----2----9----6----7-4----| x2
[A]------------------------------------------|
[E]------------------------------------------|


I'm not too sure about this part. Since i don't have the effects that Russell uses I had
improvise with just a distortion pedal. You can get the same effect by palm muting and
beginning of the verse and then let the notes actually ring later on. He repeats
it about 7-8 times.

2nd Verse
[e]----------------------------------------------------|
[b]-------9--------9------10------12-------------------|
[g]---9-9------9-9----9-9-----9-9----------------------|
[D]11-------11------11------11-------------------------|
[A]----------------------------------------------------|
[E]----------------------------------------------------|

2nd chorus (Tremolo picked)
[e]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[b]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[g]13----9----6----8----9----4----1---2--4---8----13----9----6----8----9----4---1---2--4-|
[D]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[A]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Bridge (tremolo picked, most of it)
[e]----------------------------------------------------------------------|
[b]----------------------------------------------------------------------|
[g]4--------9-------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----/0-----------------------|
[D]----------------------------------------------------------------------|
[A]----------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]----------------------------------------------------------------------|
or you can play 9 and then slide to 14 on D and then slide to 0, i slide because i don't
the effects Russell has so again i had to improvise.


Not sure about the chords he uses in this part. This is pretty close
3rd Chorus (not sure how many times he plays this)
[e]-----------------------------------|
[b]-----------------------------------|
[g]999-9-99--------99-9-9-99-11-9-8-9-|
[D]---------777777--------------------|
[A]777-7-77--------77-7-7-77-9--7-6-7-|
[E]---------555555--------------------|

[e]------------------------------------------|
[b]------------------------------------------|
[g]999-9-99------99-9-9-99-11-11-13-13-14-14-|
[D]--------77777-----------------------------|
[A]777-7-77------77-7-7-77-9--9--11-11-12-12-|
[E]--------55555-----------------------------|

I dont know the outro, if anyone knows how its played or any feedback email me at
hope you enjoy this.
