Notice

To make the guitar swells more "effective" (smoother), use plenty of delay and reverb. A little vibrato doesn't hurt, either.

Many effects were achieved in the recording through overdubs and panning. Live, it wouldn't matter much.

For the theory buffs: the Grammy winning beat is:

... a 5 over 8 imperfect polyrhythm!

(Now, where have I seen those before?)

2 semiquavers, plus 6 groups of 5 semiquavers = 32 quavers. 32 = 4 bars of 8 semiquavers. OK? Now in tomorrow's lesson...
For authenticity, use a pick. Add distortion in the appropriate places.

Pretty much all the chords are the minor chord for which the bass plays the root.

This is arranged for standard tuning, to facilitate ease of playing. However, live, I've never noticed Kevin change his tuning, and most songs are played in dropped D.

Refer to guitar notes for the Grammy-worthy rhythm.

Lyrics

Something's wrong today
I cross that barricade
The police lines evaporate
What will I do with all this empty space?
Seas part for my parade
Traffic stops to give me right of way
How will I fill all this empty space?
Just hold my breath and dive in

This beat could win me a grammy!

The hole is so big and the gap is so wide
Now you're humpin' me
With hip-hop beats every night
Put a cloud up over all I've done
And now I'm coming back
With a beat that's always ready to go
Hit the ball before they're gonna forget
No matter who I am
And see how low I can go

This beat could win me a grammy!

In the hole all alone
I'll a sympathy vote
I'll take a promenade
I'll take the scenic route
And I can't put a band aid over the fingers in me
No matter who I am, I fucking am, just can't
Because I'm over remembering her
And her romeo I wish I didn't know
This beat could win me a grammy

Voices commemorate
Like wind in dried grass
What will I do with all this broken glass
Seven years of good luck

This beat could win me a grammy
