La Excepcion Tabs

(ver. 1)
Gustavo Cerati
Setup:
 Fender Telecaster or Stratocaster. Bridge pickup.
 High Gain on Amp (or moderate distortion).
 Flanger on some riffs.

The song is comprised of several patterns outlined below.
The sequence/order of these easy to decipher.


PATTERN 1 (Positions shown, listen to track for proper strum pattern)
Note: These are rather odd chords played by Cerati. They are correct,
and can be clearly seen in the Vina del Mar DVD.

E||--7----(0)-----------|x3  4th time: |--7----(0)-----------(0)----|
B||--7-----9-----(7)----|              |--7-----9-----(7)-----9-----|
G||--8-----9------7-----|              |--8-----9------7------9-----|
D||--9-----9------7-----|              |--9-----9------7------9-----|
