Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Mayonaise - Transcribed by Jon Powell

This song is fairly easy as it only has a few chord progressions. On the
recording, the tuning is down a half step. I'm going to show it as I play
it normally, in B major.

The first riff is clean.
play this rhythm twice.

The x's across the board represent the beautifully innovative feedback
played there. This is accomplished by having your amp turned pretty loud;
I have a 40 watt amp, and this usually works with the volume at 4 or higher,
gain all the way up. The amp should be at about the same height as the
pickups, or you'll have to duck down until they are. Stand about one foot
away from the amp and mute all the strings with your picking hand. Try not
to cover up the pickups, since this might lessen the effect. You should
hear a high-pitched shriek from your amp that sounds close to that on the
tape. Work with your pickups until you get a good sound, Single coil pickups
work better than humbuckers, especially the middle single coil. It also
helps if the tone control on your guitar is all the way up. Two guitars
doing this at the same time will produce a good harmony like on the tape.
Practice this effect using different distances away from the amp. It should
change pitch as you move.

For the second verse, play Rhy. Fig #1 twice, and the second time, play
Riff#1
after that, play this twice
Rhy. Fig #2

Here are the lyrics

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it, doomed
Pick your pocket full of sorrow
And run away with me tommorow, gone
We'll try to ease the pain, somehow
Feel the same way
No one knows where our secrets go
I'll send my heart to all my dearies
When your love is so, so dreary, dream
I'm rumored to the the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils scream
And I fail, but when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
Mother weeped the years I'm missing
All the time can't be given back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
Cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad but when I can, I will
Words define the plans
But when I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Told enough to always feel it
Always old I always feel it
No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me, I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will

[Prechorus]
-No, this isn't actually how you get that
"screech" sound. On the record, Billy used
a shitty guitar he bought for $50 and whenever
he stopped playing it, it would make that sound.
This just something that SOUNDS like the sound.
Another good place to play the harmonics is
just after the 3rd fret, but it's really hard
on the ears. P.S: make use of a whammy bar.

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Song: Mayonaise
Album: Siamese Dream
Tuning: Guitar 1 - Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb
Guitar 2 - Eb,Bb,Bb,D,Bb,eb
Transcribed by Xombie Von Doom
Email: xombiumstar@yahoo.com

NOTES: The tuning for guitar two is a custom tuning created by James Iha specifically
this song. Siamese Dream is crammed to the hilt with state-of-the-art sound and effect
pioneered by BIlly and James.

EQUIPMENT NOTES: The very unique sound that is Siamese Dream was accomplished through
identical 1986 100-watt Marshall halfstacks. To get the thick, crunchy sound on the
channel, the pre-gain is turned all the way down and the post-gain acts as the master
"Once we got it how we wanted it to sound, we marked the spot on the amps and kept
that way."

The extreme heavy and unparalleled fuzz distortion from the album was created using a
Double Fuzz, two CreamyDreamer Sustain Punch pedals, and a Big Muff "Pi" pedal (pre-recall).
