Bliss
From Emil's Tablature
originally by, the one and only, phish tabbed by- Wayo Dorsey (thedorsinator@aol.com) OOOOOOOOOOOOOK, the previous tab of bliss isnt quite correct, even though the guy did "kick ass", so I am submitting mine becuase it hits closer to home, although most of this song isnt how you read it off the tab, but how you play it, so doodle around, groove and have fun. Peace Wayo tuning- DADGBD (you can also play it in DADGBE but having the high string on a D adds a kind of harmonic affect due to the 3 on the B string is a D as well) D-|-------------------------------------------------------------------- B-|-------------------------3----------------------------------------- G-|---------------------2-----------------------2-------------------- D-|------------------4-----------------------4----------------------- A-|---------------5-----------------------0-------------------------- D-|--0--------------------------------0------------------------------ D-|------------------------------------------------------------------- | B-|----------------3----------3-------------------------------------- o | G-|-----------2-----------2---------------------2-------------------- | D-|-------4----------4----------------------4------------------------ | A-|---------------------------------------0-------------------------- o | D-|--5-------------------------------5------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

DADGAD Tuning
transcribed by [Justin Balko]<JMBalko@hotmail.com> I was messing around with tunings and stumbled on what seems to be a very close version of bliss (in DADGAD tuning)...its tough to hear EXACTLY what pattern is being played because it sounds like theres 3 or 4 guitars or an echo or something on the recording...anyway, this sounds a lot like it.

Open D Tuning
Ok, so this song is ACTUALLY in open D tuning. low to high - D A D F# A D. All you do is put a finger on the G string 1st fret and pick from low to high again. Then strum without the finger on. (open - all strings).
