Phair Liz – Supernova tab

1) I'm not convinced that I'm playing these chords in the right place.
    Part of me thinks that the riff is played on the bottom 3 strings,
    using E-shape power chords (rather than using the A-shaped chords
    I've got below). That would look like this:

I do it the way I do it because, with the sound I use on my guitar, I can do a fair approximation of a wah-wah using the chords that result when you drop all fingers but the barre from the A-shape power chord. Make sense? Don't worry about it. Below is how I play it. Do what you want. 2) Play power chords at 8th-note intervals straight throughout the verses and chorus. I'm not tabbing this out. Cool distortion, though. 3) Despite my rhythm guitar status, I take the solo in this one. It's short but sweet. I love it. 4) This is one of my favorite vocal performances in a long time. I think Ms. Phair is vastly underrated as a singer.
