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).

Go Easy

There's a good video of Ben playing his part of this on Nine Bullets. The basic idea for the verses is that he goes from C to C with ab A# in the bass, then to C with an F in the bass, and then beck to C.  Pretty simple.


Main riff:

|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-----5-------------------|
|-5s7-----7-5-3-3-------3-|
|-------------------3-5---|

Hey, Noah. Would it be possible to get the tabs for Shelter? I'd be forever in your debt. :)

To be honest, I've had some trouble with that one. One of the chords just doesn't sound right no matter what I do. But I'll figure it out and add it eventually. Probably not for a couple weeks, though.
