About This Blog

I started this blog because the tabs on the Lucero message board kept getting lost when they switched sites. A blog isn't a perfect forum for guitar tabs and chords, but it now has posts for all but a handful of their songs. And, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only source for Lucero tabs that has been endorsed by an actual Lucero guitarist. Accept no substitutes.

Holy shit! That's how that goes... www.lucerotabs.blogspot.com

General Thoughts on Lucero Chords

Ben seems to favor chord variations that fret the B string at the third fret. If a C, Em, G, or A doesn't seem quite right, try:
Cadd9 (x32030), Em7 (022030), G (320033), Asus (x02230)

Also, I think he leaves the E string open on a lot of his D chords (xx0230).

My Best Girl

____G (320033)
_G/F# (2x0033)
__Em7 (022030)
____D (xx0230)
_Asus (x02230)
_Bvar (x20030)
Cadd9 (x32030)

Brian has one distinct lead that repeats a couple times in the song. It comes in at "she's seen it before" and again at "she knows those other girls just won't last". Part of it also shows up again in the last little bit of the song.
