The Inlaw Josie Wales
by Phish
Transcribed by Jonathan Attea (Buffalo, NY) JMOSES90@AOL.COM
So I just got back from summer 2000 tour and I was so moved by the 7-15
closer with Inlaw (even though that wasn't the first time I saw it) that
I needed to figure out how to play it on guitar. I checked the internet
and found that the current transcription of it (and this is with no offense
intended at all towards the previous transcriber) is almost totally wrong,
so I sat down to figure it out. Be warned, this song is TOUGH. Reading the
tabs is not enough, you almost have to get into a Trey-mindset to get all
the nuances down. It would be almost useless to try to learn this song from
tabs without it playing in the stereo next to you, as there are complex
rhythms that can not be explained with tablature.
Well, here goes. (By the way, I am pretty good at figuring things out
by ear, if anyone wants help figuring something out, feel free to e-mail
me at the above address.)
The song is in standard tuning, down one full step:
Tuned from thickest string to thinnest string, D G C F A D. Obviously you
can forego the dropped tuning and it will sound fine, just higher in pitch.
I have labeled different sections of the song as "verses." This is
just to be organized. I did this whenever there was a noticable change
in the song.
I have also put time references in (from Track 10 off of Farmhouse),
to help you keep your place.

Immediately following this, starting at 1:31, is a slow progression
down from G to D/F# to F to E (in reality, with the detuned guitar, the
chords are F, C/E, Eb, then D, but I just call them by their usual
positions on the guitar neck). Use the typical open chords with a simple
folksy comp on each (If you have gotten this far, you should know what all
that means). Listen to the cd to understand what I mean. When you get
to E, instead of comping on typical open-E, substitute the intro, then:

"Minestrone"
AKA "The Inlaw Josey Wales"
AKA "Purple Hugh" (or was that another song?)
from Pete <hjuao@excite.com>
Drop D tuning:
The song opens with the "If I Could" arpeggio until everyone stops
screaming and Trey can hear himself:
E------------
B---------3--
G-------0----
D-----4------
A---5--------
D-0----------
And then, this is the main riff:
E-10--------8----7---7-----------0----------------2--
B-10---12---8----8---8---6---5---3----------------3--
G-11---11---10---7---7---5---5---2----------------2--
D-0----0----0----0---0---0---0-----------0-----0--0--
A--------------------------------3-----0-----0-------
D-0----------------------------------5-----3------0--
It's not played straight like that, of course, but if you
CAN do that fingerpicky style, you don't need the whole thing
tabbed, and if you can't, your probably don't want to learn
with this song. Personally, I'm terrible at it. Please note,
the tab is just where I'm putting my fingers, you aren't hitting
all those notes all the time but I tried to pick chords that
sounded like the ones that the melody implies.
Trey does a little D harmonic at the end sometimes, which leads me
to believe that PERHAPS the song is in open D, and not just drop D,
since it sounds like a lighter string that he gets the harmonic on.
Of course, if he uses the same acoustic guitar for stuff like
"Horse" I don't see how this can be the case.
He noodles a bit, does some V-Is like so:
E----------2--
B-2---3----3--
G-2---2----2--
D-2---2----0--
A-0---0-------
D--------3-0--
you can do a hammer-off-on fancy change back to the D on any
of the strings fretted and be correct on that one. I'm not sure
if this song is written out exactly for Trey or he just had a few
riffs he strings together, but its easier and more fun to look at
it the latter way.
Trey also does some IV-Is that you can approximate kinda like this:
E--------
B-3---3-- both these notes are in the chord too, so you can do
G-4---4-- some noodly hammer-ons if you want to get the chicks here
D-0---0--
A--------
D-5---4--
One of the other riffs is thus:
E-10---9----12---10---5--
B-10---10---10---10---5--
G-11---11---11---11---6--
D-0----0----0----0-------
A---------------------0--
D------------------------
Sometimes that riff ends with a low F bendy thing back to a D,
sometimes it goes into that G figure above, and often it does
this cool descending thing with a fill on the end off the A:
E---------------------------
B-6---5---4---3-------3-----
G------------------------2--
D-7---7---5---4---4h5-------
A-8---7---6---5----------0--
D------------------------0--
This part especially is fudged. I get the feeling (especially
here) that this tune is in open D tuning. Maybe Trey has two
acoustics on stage?
Anyway, there's some other stuff, but that's the basics as far
as I can tell.

This tune I am almost 100% sure is in open D Tuning.

Ill think you'll find that it is much easier play this song in Open D rather than Drop D.
I also believe that Trey plays it is Open D as well.
