This is the solo to el scorcho. It is fairly simple. You will have
to figure out the timing on your own.

Well, I find it surprising that no one has yet tabbed this song,
especially since the main verse seems quite easy to play. At the moment,
I do not have "Pinkerton" with me, so i therefore am unable to figure out
the chorus or other parts. But, nevertheless, i figured that this would
at least help someone figure out the rest of this song or at least show
them how to play the basic riff. As always, send any corrections to the
people that handle that sort of thing.

Also, if you have ever heard the song, I think it is quite obvious how to
play the arpeggiated chords. And, I am pretty sure that the chorus and
the other parts of the song revolve about this main riff.

This song is super easy, the solo is even pretty easy. I tabbed
it in about half an hour. I use "power chords" for the chorus,
and that sounds pretty close. I've played the whole thing with
the C.D., and it's right. Here goes. The ^×s mean vibrato.

INTRO/VERSE (basically goes through whole song)

Words and music by: River Cuomo
Transcribed by: David Chassé
Tuning: Eb - Ab - Db - Gb - Bb - Eb

This is the solo to El Scorcho which starts at approximately 2:25. It's
pretty easy to play. There were already transcription of this solo but
there are little errors in them; not big but they're there :) I think
my version is correct. I tabbed it for a guitar tuned in Eb like River
but if your guitar is tuned in E just play each note one case lower.

*for this part, I tabbed two differents fingering. They are both the
same notes. I just didn't really knew which one was easier to play so
just choose the one that suits you the best :)

I am currently working on the guitar pro version for this song.
This is a correct version I promise. It is tuned down to Eb, however, it sounds fine
tuning down. God bless.

Verse
Chorus (2 times and end)

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)

You basically are just playing the power chords from the chorus, but you pick the
individually. And it just repeats through the whole song. Sometimes you can palm mute it
verses or just pick more softly to make it more quiet and let it roar during the chorus,
the second guitar plays the power chords for rhythm. I guess you could also play it
and then switch to distortion. Remember to give that certain string some vibrato.
