Aphex Twin – Avril 14th (Tab)
If I’m going to tab an Aphex Twin song, there’s only one choice: Avril 14th. Which was interpolated by Kanye West on Blame Game.
A Section: By far the hardest part of the song is the artificial harmonics that start in bar 5. In these bits, I’m picking the C-string with my thumb and playing artificial harmonics on the other strings.
Take a look at 4stringboy if you want to see artificial harmonics done right. If you’re as bad at them as me, you can just skip the harmonics part and play the standard and it’ll sound fine.
B Section: AKA the section that goes on twice as long as it should. Just a jump up to the 7th fret to deal with here.
C Section: The easiest section of the song. A bit of campanella picking while holding down a single chord shape.
D Section: This is the oddest section of the piece. It’s simplified from the original. But it bounces all over the fretboard.
