                                                     by Massive Attack

                   Key Amaj                                                                 Tempo 77BPM
                                                        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.
