Has anybody tried working out the chords/tabs to any of the songs on Teeth Dreams? I'm working a few out now--and am pretty sure I got them--which I can try to tab out once I'm confident in them. I'm not too good at tabbing things out once I've figured it out, but at least something to give an idea.
Full disclosure though, I figure things out mostly based on video, and the stuff that doesn't get caught on camera I can usually use what I see on the video as a starting point. I don't have the best ear for picking things out through the mix, especially with the production how it is. (I like the production, just not good for picking out parts as easily.)

From the setlists posted on FB, I gather that some of the Teeth Dreams stuff is in alternate tunings -- "The Only Thing" is listed as open G (the same as "Sweet Part of the City") and "Spinners" is in open E. Maybe that will help?

Maybe that will help? The Only Thing is actually one of them that I have mostly figured out. The "sleeping at a storage space...the only thing that tethers us together" is the part I'm still playing with. It seems to follow the same structure as the verses but the parts themselves are different. The open tunings seem to be just Tad as far as I can tell. I know it is on The Only Thing, so for right now I'm focusing on Steve's guitar. Spinners is the only other one I know for certain that is open (only because of the set list), but I imagine others are as well. The Ambassador is the other one I'm messing with at the moment. Chord-wise it's pretty simple. I play acoustic sets so my motivation is to get arrangements for solo acoustic covers, but I feel that involves learning how the band plays it first then working from there. I'll probably have to go open E to get a good arrangement for Ambassador. We'll see. More to come! (hopefully) I'm open to any and all insight.

Steve's part in The Only Thing is definitely in standard tuning. His line during the bridge is awesome and very tricky to play.

resurrecting this thread 6 years later.... any chance you can post what you figured out on guitar for Teeth Dreams? pretty much no guitar-related content from that album online (except for Tad & Steve's video on Spinners).
