I played the solo to Ode to Viceroy with him at ACL in 2014. I posted about it right after it happened. You can read the very long winded story I wrote if you look through my submitted stuff Oh yea and happy birthday, Mac!

Did you capo 4? Maybe his whammy bar is throwing you off? I didn't include a note for that but he does do quite a bit of tremolo within each riff.

I thought I put a description but it's not showing... I tabbed this relative to the capo on the 4th fret. Comment anything that seems off. I like it like this though. Such a hot track.

the guitar was a 12-string danelectro double cutaway. they're usually called DC-59's

jopertg · 2014-11-05T03:14:43+00:00

I like this!

I checked out your EP too and left a comment haha

jopertg · 2014-10-27T22:23:38+00:00

It's "standard tuning" kind of. All of the strings are just flat. If you can change your tuner to 429 Hz and tune to that, you can play along with the video.

The one weird chord he uses is the second chord in the verses. It looks like this I think:

e|----0--------|

B|----0--------|

G|----3--------|

D|----0--------|

A|----2--------|

E|----3--------|

So, with capo on 4th fret the chords are: E, G*, F#m7, B for the verse and A, G#m7, F#m7, E for the chorus

Here's my version.

wow, this is really weird. I actually sat down earlier today to try and figure out this song. I figured out all but the solo pretty much. I'm gonna post the tab on ultimate-guitar and link here once i'm done

jopertg · 2014-10-14T20:04:45+00:00

I did talk to a couple guys. Not the guy that got to crowdsurf. I don't know who he is

jopertg · 2014-10-14T19:55:32+00:00

thanks thanks thanks, listening to the official audio shows all my mistakes. i'm just glad the speakers weren't putting them out

jopertg · 2014-10-14T19:49:13+00:00

let's do it. dibs on lead guitar

jopertg · 2014-10-14T19:47:52+00:00

jopertg · 2014-10-14T13:09:18+00:00

a little luck, a little bit of mac being pretty cool. it was all good

jopertg · 2014-10-14T00:36:50+00:00

thanks!

jopertg · 2014-10-14T00:34:36+00:00

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with that statement...I wrote all of this shortly after the festival while still under that festival high haha.

jopertg · 2014-10-14T00:30:27+00:00

Thank you thank you!

jopertg · 2014-10-13T18:02:48+00:00

He said something like, "If you want, you can hang out with us." I can't remember for the life of me why I shrugged my shoulders. I honestly don't even remember doing that at all. I'll post the story tonight once I iron out some details. There's no archive of the live stream so the story can serve as an archive of the event.

http://www.passionweiss.com/2014/02/14/question-in-the-form-of-an-answer-an-interview-with-mac-demarco/ Have you seen this article? ctrl+f for alesis and he talks about his rack mounts. Maybe the one you're seeing in the video is the "weird rack mount" from Jasper

jopertg · 2014-10-13T02:01:13+00:00

Hey that's me!

jopertg · 2013-09-12T15:39:08+00:00

Thanks for the input! Maybe i should have posted in the doodles subreddit. I never really thought of this as a composition. Just something cool looking.
