I only did a bit of it before I had a hard drive crash and lost the video I was using. This is pretty close to what he's playing during the 15th Anniversary show.

The 9b12 is tough for me to play, personally. I just do this:

G|-7/11-11\-|
D|-9/12-12\-|[/code]

Sawao's part is even easier, but I never tabbed it. Maybe sometime, if nobody else beats me to it.

EDIT: Because I love to throw home recordings together, [url=http://ianmcclintock.net/music/happybivouacnew.mp3]here[/url] is a very sloppy recording of me playing the intro lick. Don't expect much.

the notes are definitely there.

That's actually really helpful, Joyeuse. I was struggling with figuring out the song earlier. When I'm listening to it, I can't quite focus on just one part at a time.

yeah, figuring out harmonies is tough.

In my recording I'm hitting the muted strings in order to keep time, but really Sawao just pauses.

we're talking about fotp, right?

I have the solo done.

nope, this is Happy Bivouac.

look at the earlier pages, you know it to be true.

fotp has a cool solo, though.

I think the acoustic version of [b]Tiny Boat[/b] is my favorite version.

I sure wish The Pillows would play some more acoustic versions of their songs. I'll bet even the not-so-great recent songs would kick if acoustic. Hearing the songs stripped down re-affirms that Sawao is a great songwriter.

trip dancer had the best acoustic (it wasn't just sawao playing and singing), but i liked ice pick and fotp acoustics a lot too.

Acoustic versions? Stalker.

Do this for me... no, for all of us.

EVERY SINGLE DAY, listen to [i]Please, Mr. Lostman[/i], despite how disappointed you are about it. In time, you'll learn to appreciate it.

Josher speaks the truth. Do not push away the Lostman, for the Lostman is always with you. If you give yourself to Him, in time, you will learn to love the Lostman.
