1. Cliff's rhythm guitar part (transcribed by Brett)
Group: Caedmon's Call
Album: "My Calm//Your Storm"
Song Title: "All I Know"
By: Cliff Young and Aaron Tate
More tab available at http://www.t-rev.net
There are two parts to this song. The lead guitar, which is picking through
chords for almost the entire song, is Derek Webb. He is in an alternate
tuning, though, (it is DGDGAD) and so I will not put his part up. I know
to a few of you that is a pain, but to most it will save you numerous sets
of strings from breaking, so I have to consider the masses. Again, anything
you want and cannot find, simply e-mail me and ask!
Anyway, Cliff's part is Capoed at the 4th fret, and played in G. That puts
the actual song in B, fyi. With a little practice, though, you can play the
entire song with his part and come pretty close to the record. Just work on
picking through the chords as opposed to just strumming straight down. I also
went through every verse, as opposed to saying "see above" or something like
that; there are some small subtle changes thrown in. Be sure to look through all
the verses if you want to catch these. Only the chorus is the same throughout.
All chords are given relative to the Capo
Intro:
G Am7 C D
G Am7 C D
(NOTE: If you are really ambitious, you can pick through these. I have tabbed
out a pretty nice way to go about it. It is really fast, so it will take some
practice, and mail me if you ahve questions)

Capo 2 in A (B), standard-tuned six-string acoustic. Moderate tempo in 4.
This is as close to a finished product tab as I'm going. I could try and
actually tab out all the stuff derek does, but instead I just went a little
overboard on chord fingerings.
Anyway, this is the lead guitar part. For now you can get an accurate tab
of Cliff's rhythm part at caedmonscall.com as tabbed by Brett McLaughlin
<blaugh@hsutx.edu>. A couple corrections for if you're going to be playing his
rhythm tab along with this lead tab: the second line of verses two and three
Brett has as G, Am7, C, D--it should be G, D, C, D; just the opposite for the
second line of verse four, where Brett has G, D, C, D--it should be G, Am7, C,
D. Otherwise the two parts might not mesh well. Also note that Cliff's part
does not actually start until the second verse and drops out for the outro.
Note: GUITAR STRINGS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BREAK SOONER IF YOU CHANGE TUNINGS
(I have received complaints.)
Derek actually plays this tuned open Gsus2/D (DGDGAD) capo 4, but this
standard tuned version works OK. But for those willing to break strings I've
also listed the DGDGAD fingerings I use. I named all the chords accurately (as
far as I know) for the standard fingerings, so some of the names might be wrong
for the DGDGAD fingerings (not to mention that they're all off by a whole step
since the capos are at different frets), but they all correspond as far as
playing, which of course is all we really care about.
Derek made the comment, something like in standard tuning "you're not
going to be able to get ALL the notes." Not a direct quote, but that was the
gist. However, as far as I can tell, you can still get quite close as far as
notes. Either way, the "not-notes", the muted strokes, are going to be hard to
do if you're trying to play like derek. Good luck. You're probably going to
have to listen to the CD to learn this.
Use extensive palm-muting for the flat-picking in the intro and verses--
strum the bridges and choruses. The rhythm guitar (Cliff) enters after bridge 1
where you repeat the intro. The bass (Aric) enters at verse 3, stops for verse
4, and returns at bridge 3. Everything except lead guitar (derek) and a shaker
(Todd) drops out for the outro.
DGDGAD Standard Capo 2 plus Chord
Capo 4 Capo 2 345-capo 4 Name

X50030 X00230 D2
these three occur in sequence at the end
020200 022400 E(no 3) } of bridges 1 and 2, but i just wrote them
020000 022200 Esus4(no 3) } as E*. what it is is E(no 3) for almost a
024000 026200 Esus4 } whole measure, Esus4(no 3) for the last half
beat of that measure, and Esus4 for the full
244000 200200 D2sus6/F# next measure. i really like the dissonance.
