Night Of The Living Don



Yeah, you've all heard the news.

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE ALLOCADES?

"From what I've played so far, it's great!"- Richard From Illinois

"Ace sounds you got going there. Makes me want to go buy Rock Band just to play it"- Kyle

"I normally don't like fast-hand drum songs, but Steven Wells (He Was The Greatest) is one of the most fun drum charts I've ever played"- Arcanon

"wow people have SD tv's still? does xbox even work on that lol..."- bloodredtornado

That last guy can suck it.

Anyways, Audition Mode has been patched into Rock Band 3, meaning I can start testing "This Gigantic Robot Kills".

But wait a minute, what's this?
Akira The Don and MC Lars going on tour in the UK! With MC Chris!
2 out of those 3 I'm doing/did RBN tracks for. Hmm...

Oh, right, I promised a lesson today.
Gather 'round children, let me tell you 'bout a man called...

STEVEN WELLS (HE WAS THE GREATEST)

It was a simple song to author, and the stems came in two parts: Lead and Rhythm, but all that means is which part of the barre chord is being played. The song is based around 4 barre chords:
G, B, C, A, or:

E---3-----7------8-----5-----
B---3-----7------8-----5----
G---4-----8------9-----6----
D---5-----9------10----7----
A---5-----9------10----7----
E---3-----7-------8-----5----

For the lead part, that is, the intro, chorus and outro ("It's Out Teenage Terror Totty". It was never "Tits..." and we were always at war with Eurasia), play either the entire chord, or the bottom half, like so:

Riff A
E---3---7---8---5---
B---3---7---8---5---
G---4---8---9---6---

Then you can just pad the bottom two strings with your index finger, and hold down the 3rd string with your middle finger.

For the verses, simple palm mute the chords, or just the top half.

The strumming pattern is a constant 8th note pattern, in this

G
Steven Wells he
B
Was the greatest
C
Of all time
A
A force replaceless
G
Napalm Death
B
To their Oasis
C
Pissed Down Neck Of
A
Fool Or Racist
G
Steven Wells he
B
Was amazing
C
Caps Lock down and
A
All guns blazing
G
Wield typewriter
B
Like Berreta
C
No one ever did it
A
Better
