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).

Watch It Burn

I'm never really sure on these riffs. I go back and forth between playing them with the open strings and without.

Intro riff:


-------------------
-----3-0------3-0--
---0--------0------
-2--------2--------
-------------------
-------------------

Or:


-------------------
-----3-0------3-0--
-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--
-2-0------2--------
-------------------
-------------------

Verse riff:

-------------------
-3-0-3----3-0-3----
-------0--------0--
-------------------
-------------------
-------------------

Or:

-------------------
-3-0-3----3-0-3----
-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--
-------0--------0--
-------------------
-------------------


verse chords:

C5 G5 C5 G5

Chorus chords:

D5 C5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 E5

Solo chords:

G5 G5 C5 G5 E5 C5 G5

The solo is pretty simple. It repeats the first phrase 4 times. Then it switches to the second phrase once, and then finishes with the first phrase one more time. (By 7b9 I mean bend up a full step, as though you slid up two frets.)
