Harborcoat by R.E.M. | Guitar Cover | Tab | Lesson

Opening track on the R.E.M. sophomore album 'Reckoning' released in April 1984.
I'm tuned down a half-step to play along to the album bass and drums tracks; although in fact it is a few cents sharp of that on the recording, so more like 'almost' a half-step.
For the guitar audio my signal chain is:
Rickenbacker 330 JG - JB Nano compressor - Ampli-Firebox (Clean Deluxe) - DAW

Brilliant! I bought Fables first of all and then six months later I bought Reckoning in London. As soon as I heard Harborcoat I thought “Yes! This is the band for me. I’ve found them! “

This collection of R.E.M. songs is becoming such a fantastic endeavor. Truly unique! Merry Christmas!

Underrated song! Such beautiful chord voicings!

[@robbrown3048]

Amazing work. You nailed the lightening fast arpeggios

[@floatyjam]

This song has a sweet touch of melancholy

Soundtrack to my youth.

I can only play two notes on the guitar. I love this song. I had always thought there were two guitars being played at once! Wow! Peter Buck, brilliant! This video and you are also brilliant. Thanks!

[@jamesmilani3891]

Love this song/album. Hearing these songs without Stipe vocal just highlights how well constructed they were (similar to Smith's ones) Brilliant videos!

[@matthewnijland]

Love learning these songs so accurately finally! Thank you again for all your awesome recent videos! 🤘

What's that mental chord between the e and a in the chorus

[@polygraphovich]

Sounds great!

[@HeadlessGuitarPlayer]

Thanks!

[@aaronbechtel389]

The pre-chorus last chord arpeggiation doesn’t seem to match the tab . .

[@aaronbechtel389]

Ring finger is on the low E at 7

[@HeadlessGuitarPlayer]

I'm muting the strings? Look at my right hand. You're welcome.

[@aaronbechtel389]

Fantastic work, incidentally.
