    Default Ugly Casanova/ Modest Mouse songs

    Is or has anyone done in work on any modest mouse or ugly casanova songs. I know there aren't many with a mandolin but they are two my favorite bands and I was just wondering of any covers or tabs for them. There is one song in particular that I know is on mandolin and sounds pretty cool, I just can't find and tabs or even guitar chords on it. If anyone can listen to the attached video for any advice, or any mandolin covers you can point me in the direction of would be great.

    Welcome to the cafe zpw-. I like Isaac Brock and MM an awful lot too. Their stuff is very riff based and developed texturally with various studio effects. For example:



    I always think Isaac should have included the line, "In heaven everything is real..."

    The clip you provided is rudimentary mandolin strumming G and A chords. Play along with this and other songs you like and see if you can emulate some of the stuff you hear.

    I was about to post a thread for Modest Mouse songs, good thing I found this!!

    I actually just tabbed out Paper Thin Walls by Modest Mouse.


    A D Bm Cm
    E|------------ X ------------ X ------------ X ------------ X
    A|------------ X ------------ X ------------ X ------------ X
    D|------------ 1 ------------ 0 ------------ 4 ------------ 5
    G|------------ 1 ------------ 1 ------------ 4 ------------ 5

    -For "D*" just alternate between strumming the A string and muting it. (if you listen to the song it will make sense)
    -Use the fill in place of the A in the Intro and Verse 1.


    Fill
    E|------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A|------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D|-------4-4-4-2-2-0---------------------------------------------------
    G|--2-2----------------6------------------------------------------------

    Intro
    A D* (x2)

    Verse 1
    A--------------------------------------------------------------------D*
    These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound.
    A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------D*
    Everyone's a voyeur as they're watching me watch them watch me right now.
    A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------D*
    They're shaking hands they're shaking in their shoes O Lord don't shake me down.
    A--------------------------------------------------------------------D*
    Everyone wants two of them and half of everyone else is around.
    A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------D*
    It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore.

    Verse 2
    A-----------------------------------------D
    Laugh hard -- it's a long way to the bank.
    A-----------------------------------D
    I can't be blamed for nothing anymore.
    A----------------------------------------------D
    It's been a long time since you've been around.
    A-----------------------------------------D
    Laugh hard -- it's a long way to the bank.

    A---D---Bm---Cm

    Verse 3
    A-----------------D-------------------Bm--------------Cm
    Tow the line to tax the time you know that you don't owe.
    A-------------D-------------Bm----------------Cm
    I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know.

    (Repeat entire song from intro once more)



    I apologize for all of the dashes in between the chords. It kept trying to delete the spacing.
    I'm not a singer. My mandolin does that for me.
