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).

The Judge

For the first 53 seconds of this song, there's not much besides some ominous sounding accordian and equally ominous sounding pick scraping on an electric. When the acoustic kicks in, it repeats this riff.

Main Riff:

The other part (starting at about 2:20) is made up of Ben playing chords, probably power chords, and Todd playing a lead that goes something like this.
