'Bruise Pristine' by Placebo - Guitar Tutorial

            PLACEBO:BRUISE PRISTINE:  A marathon of a tab here, sorry for it 
being soooooo long but you can't really tab it over a short space.

Come in after Brian finishes his little beginning bit;

Verse:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------3-3-3--3-3-3------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------2-2-2--2-2-2-----------
E--1-1-1-1-1------------------1-1-1-1-1------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------3-3-3--3-3-3-------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------1-1-1-1-1--------------------1-1-1-1-1-

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--2-2-2--2-2-2---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4----------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

Play that bit through when Brian sings but on the second time end up 
by strumming the 4th fret on the A string instead of hammering on and 
off the 6th and 4th frets.  ( oh, by the way, po= pull off, ho= 
hammer on ).

Chorus:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4---1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4--

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8--9-9-9---10-10-10--11-11-11---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

After the chorus, go into the verse and end up before the chorus 
strumming the 4th fret ( A string ) instead of hammering on and off 
the 6th and 4th frets.
Go into the next chorus after doing the verse;

Chorus:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4-4---1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4-

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8--9-9-9---10-10-10--11-11-11---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------
E-------------------------1------------------------------------------

Next bit is where Brian plays on taught strings below the bridge 
doing another weird solo;

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--7-/-8------------------------------------------------------8-----
E-----------------9---------8 ho 9-----------9--9---8--------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------7 ho 8---------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------9-------------8 ho 9----9--9---8--------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------7-/-8-----------------------------------------------------
E----1-------------------------8 ho 9--------8 ho 9-------9-----1-

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------7-/-8-------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------8 ho 9-----------8 ho 9----------

After that part ( which may not be perfect ) it speeds up and Brian 
shouts something which echoes out gradually.  The next part goes;

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat that part again and after it do the normal verse and that up 
again by strumming the 4th fret A string again before going into the 
the first type of chorus, or the other.  If you listen to it you 
should get it.  I like this song but tabbing it out, putting it in 
order, doing alternative choruses and verses for this song have 
caused me to listen to this song around 15 times to get it this 
good!!
