Description
About this collection
Six separate parts for Tenacious D’s “Tribute”: Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Strum Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard and Drums. The charts begin at 85 BPM in 4/4 and follow the song’s changes of tempo, dynamics and texture across 22 pages.
Core Elements
- Lead Guitar: four pages with effects cues, chord passages, bends and tuplet lead writing.
- Rhythm Guitar: four pages of picked figures, hammer-ons, chord accompaniment and harmonics.
- Strum Guitar: a four-page chord-shape arrangement with stroke directions and repeat bars.
- Bass Guitar: three pages with a delayed entrance, pick/finger cues and slides.
- Keyboard: four pages with organ/electric-piano changes and a low cluster glissando.
- Drums: three pages with a late kit entrance, grace notes and extended accented snare figures.
How this collection differs
Each chart follows a distinct playing role. The rhythm guitar carries the opening while bass and drums wait; the lead part moves between chord figures and solo writing, and the keyboard changes sound along the way. The strum arrangement offers an alternative way to cover the chord accompaniment.
Skills / rehearsal use
Agree on the tempo changes, count the long rests together and rehearse the transition from the Break Down into the Solo. Balance the chord accompaniment, bass line and lead passages, following each part’s written dynamics and articulations.
