Okay, I`ve seen both versions at OLGA, now here`s the real one. I got
it directly off the live video tape of Mad Season playing at the Moore
in Seattle. Here we go...
There are only two basic chords in the whole song-
E A D G B e
F: 0 3 3 2 1 1(somtimes open)
G: 3 2 0 0 3 3
Not too difficult, you just have to figure out the strumming...
Intro:
--------------------------------------------------------
--3---3h5p3--3--0-----------------------------0----0----
--0----------------4p2p0---2---2s4s2p0---2----0----0---- Repeat 3x
----------------------------------------------0h2--2----
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
This is basically the same as the first tab at OLGA, so you can use that
one if this one confuses you...
Now this(whatever you call it):
F G
--1---------3---3------
--2---2-----3---3------
--3-----2---0---0------ Strum freely, listen to the song.
--3---------0---0------
------------2---2------
------------3---3------
Now this is played throughout the entire song:
F G ?
---------3---2--;--3-------------------
--1------3---3--;--3--3h5p3-3----------
--2p0----0---0--;--0-----------4s2p0--- This fill is only played in the
--3------0---0--;--0------------------- second verse, and not all the
----------------;--3------------------- time.
----------------;--2-------------------
Just listen to the song for the strumming.
Verse:This is where I`ve seen the majority of the screw ups, here`s how
McCready plays it on the video tape.
--3------5------8--8--8p7--7--8p7--7--8-------------
--3------5------8--8--8----8--8----8--8-------------
--0------0------0--0--0----0--0----0--0-------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
The rhythm might be hard to follow, but you can pick that up also.
Now just play the intro once for the outro and that`s it! I hope I did
a good job, this is my first tab and I`ve only been playing two months,
so I would love some criticism and/or comments. Hey if anybody has
figured out Lifeless Dead by Mad Season, e-mail me at
rbracke@okstate.edu. I think I`ve figured most of it out except for the
solo, so I would appreciate some other attempts. Later!

I think this is more accurate than the current version at OLGA
River of Deceit
by Mad Season
transcribed by kevin gardner code@wam.umd.edu
Notes:
This song only contains two chords Fadd9 and
G major, the same progression used in HendrixUs
I donUt live today. I sugest that for the Fadd9 chord
you cover the high E and B strings with your first finger,
the G string with your second finger,
the D string with your pinky, the A
string with you ring finger and the low E with your thumb.
h=hammer on
p=pull off
s=slide

Group: Mad Season
Song: River of Deceit
This is one of the better songs of the Above album. It isn`t any easy
song to figure out. I did my best so that is all i could do. A lot of the
music in this song is just going into little scales of the chords being
played. Anyway here is my best try at it:
notations:
**********
s=slide
h=hammer on
p=pull off
v=vibrato
guitar parts:
-------------
this part is played in the begining
E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |--8-----8------------------------------------------8----8---------------|
G |--7-----7h9h7--------------------------------------7----7h9p7-----------|
D |--------------9p7----------------------------------------------9p7------|
A |-------------------10--7--10--7--10-----5h7-5v----------------------10--|
E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B |----------------------------8----8-------------------------------|
G |----------------------------7----7h9p7---------------------------|
D |---------------------------------------9p7-----------------------|
A |--7-10s12--7--10---5h7-5v-------------------10--7--10s12--7--10--|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--|
B |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--| then go
G |-----------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| to the
D |--7--------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| verse part
A |--------10s12---5------2--x--2---2--x--2--|
E |-----------------------3--x--3---3--x--3--|
verse:
------
this part i`m sure is a C to G progression, but i`m not sure how he
hammers on and pulls off notes, this is close enought though
E |--0----0--0--0--3--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
B |--3p1--1--0--1--1--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
G |--0----0--0--0--0--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
D |--2----2--2--2--2--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
A |--3----3--3--3-----2-x--2--2--2--2--|
E |-------------------3-x--3--3--3--3--|
that is basically the verse, he does some other improvisational stuff
which is just going into scales (i believe the G-scale) and goes a bit
crazy
chorus:
-------
this is the best i could come up with..........
when you get to the D-chord in this progression, work with the hammering
on and pulling off to get the real effect of the song.
E |--3---3-3---3-3p2--2--2--2-3p2--2-2-2--|
B |--3---3-3---3-3----3--3--3-3----3-3-3--|
G |--0-x-0-2---2-2----2--2--2-2----2-2-2--|
D |--0-x-2-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
A |--2-x-3-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
E |--3-x-0--------------------------------|
then after the chorus, it goes back to the verse
******at the end of the song just go back to the first part of the song
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
that is basically it (that is my best try)
oh......if you want to use two guitars but can`t both play the song, you
could do one of two things:
1)when the lead guitarist is playing you could strum the whole chord while
he is playing (with a lower volume) to give a fuller effect.
2) (my personal choice) You could solo over the song, which sounds very cool.
But you might be saying to yourself, i don`t know what scale? Well i`ll tell
you which scale, use the G-scale.
this ins`t the entire G-scale, just the part that i like to use for the song
E|-----------------------------10-12--------------------------------12-15-17-|
B|-----------------------10-12------------------------------12-15-17---------|
G|----------------7-9-12----------------------------12-14-16-----------------|
D|----------5-7-9-----------------------------12-14--------------------------|
A|------5-7------------------------------12-14-------------------------------|
E|-3-5-7----------------------------12-15------------------------------------|
(the notes are in no particular order, just go crazy)
work with it, it will sound good
