Song   - Carnival
Artist - The Pillows
Tabbed By Ian M.

After watching both the PV and the live performance from the Busters on the
Planet DVD, I'm convinced that this is the correct way to play the bulk of Sawao
Yamanaka's parts (rhythm guitar).  I'm also bad at indicating timing in tab, but
if you know the song, you shouldn't have any problems figuring it out.

If it's lead parts you're looking for, check out aldeayeah's tab.  It looks very
good.

===============
Intro:
Contrary to most other tabs I've seen, Sawao only plays an interval (two notes)
instead of a full chord (three or more).  There's a lot of sliding and implied
notes in this part, so I've noted with carats where you actually stroke.  This
is played with a clean sound.

===============
Verse:
Instead of full chords, Sawao uses power chords here, and only 3 of them.  This
part's easy if you got rhythm.  aldeayeah's tab pretty much covers this
properly, if you want the chords with the words.  I'm just going to tab the
power chord fingerings.  Distortion kicks in here, and stays on for the rest of
the song.


    C5(x8) G5(x8) D5(x8) C5(x8)
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|--5-------------7------5-----|
D|--5------5------7------5-----|  (repeat 4x)
A|--3------5------5------3-----|
E|---------3-------------------|

This is the main riff, really.  The final time around, always end on a G5
instead of a C5 for the last chord.

===============
Bridge/Whatever:
I don't know what to call this part, but it's just one chord.  Not that
difficult.  Palm muted the first 20 or so times, and then he bashes it a few (I
think four) open.  Just do what sounds right to you.

Chorus:
More power chords.  I think that's called a B5, but I'm not 100% sure.

===============
Blah:
After This, there's a part that eludes me, when he sings "kimi to KISS shite
warai korogeru".  It's really difficult to hear over Manabe's part, and there's
not any video footage of the whole thing that I have.  It's only three chords,
though.  One tab I've seen says they're E, F, and A.  Another says G, F, C.  In
the PV it looks like he plays E5 or Em, C, and E.  Just play whatever sounds
good to you, because I give up.

===============
Outro:
The outro is a lot like the intro, but sounds slightly different.  It's got
distortion, and no string mutes.  It plays twice, but the second time ends
slightly differently.

    ^^^^^  ^    ^  ^  ^  ^^^    ^  ^ ^     ^^^   ^ ^

In the recording as well as live, the song ends very abruptly.  As soon as you
hit the final interval, release pressure on the strings so your fingers mute
them. In both this part and the intro, Sawao does some really fast picking with
alternating up and down strokes.  It's because of this that in the outro I've
sometimes tabbed an interval three times in places where it might sound like
one.
