TEARDROP
by Massive Attack
Key Amaj Tempo 77 BPM D A
D G B E
This is the easiest loop in this songbook, as it only consists of one guitar and one
percussion part for two bars - with the chords played over top once the looper is in
safe mode.
However, for the guitar melody we'll be overdubbing the same part twice for a '12
string guitar' effect. Please note that we're using 'drop D' tuning on this song to add
depth. This means that we'll be tuning the wound E string down a full tone.
Record this guitar loop twice.
And now the percussion (kick, snare)
That's it! This loop can run through the whole song. If your amplifier has reverb I
recommend turning this effect up higher than usual to create a bigger, more ethereal
sound.
Tip: On the original recording, a harpsicord effect is used for the melody. To replicate the
sharpness of this sound - pick the strings on the first overdub as normal, then on the
second guitar overdub, pick each string about an inch from the bridge.
