Notes:
The Music:
Key: x = ghost note
\ or / = slide
(7) = quiet note, or optional note added in variations
= harmonic
Introduction. Starts with open bottom D string, and play some harmonics if
you like, then:
(Slowly, with vibrato)
G-----------------------------------------------
D--------------------/9----7-5------------------
A-5----7--9---7-5-7--------------9-7-5----------
D-----------------------------------------(7)---
Main riff. Comes lots of times. Initially keep the notes short.
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
G----------------|-----------------|----------------|---------------|
D----------------|-----------------|----------------|---------------|
A-------2--------|----------------5|-------2--------|---------------|
D---4-4-----2---7|---0-0-5---7-----|---4-4-----2---7|---0-0-5-5--2-0|
As the song progresses the notes tend to get longer and more legato.
Also the riff gains some variations e.g.
Timing similar to above
G----------------------|---------------(7)|----------------|--------------------|
D----------------------|------------------|----------------|--------------------|
A---------2-2----------|---------------5-5|------2-2-------|---------------(5)--|
D--(0)4-4-----2---7(7)7|--x4-4-5-5-7------|--4-4------2---7|--4-4-5-5x4-2-0--(0)|
The last bar especially can be all sorts of random notes as long as they end on
a bottom D. It's surprising what you can get away with.
Other riff. This happens 3 times. The ending of the main riff is slightly modified,
MI SOL1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
G-|-------------|------------|
D-|-------------|------------|
A-|-----2-------|------------|
D-|--4-4----2--7|--4---5--7--|
And then (long notes):
G----------|-----------|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
D----------|-----------|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
A-2---4---5|----7--5---|---------2|----------|-----------|-----3--4--5|
D----------|----------5|----7-----|----2--4--|-5----6--2-|-7----------|
The third time it is more interesting, e.g.
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
G-----------|--------------|--------------|----------|-----------|------------|
D-----------|-----45-4-----|--------------|----------|-----------|------------|
A-2---4-/7-5|---57----7-5--|-------------2|----------|-----------|-----3--4--5|
D-----------|-------------5|---5-x5-7-2---|----2--4--|-5----6--2-|-7----------|
Middle, calmer, section (happens after the other riff plays for the third time):
(Note: This is the bassline. The other bass track plays a virtuosic melody
improvisation. I can't write that sort of stuff down!). You can work out the timings
yourself.
G----------------------------------------------------3---------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------2----------------3--3-1--------------1----2---3---6-7-8------
D-0---5---4--------5---2---0-------3---2---4---3---------------------------
Followed by a main riff in F rather than D:
Timings as before
G-----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------|
D-----------------|--------------3|---------------|----------------|
A------5-------3x3|------1---3----|------5-------3|----------------|
D-x7-7----x5------|--3-3----------|--7-7-----5----|--7-7-88887-5--3|
and again, going back to D (more funky than this in fact):
G-----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------|
D-----------------|--------------3|---------------|----------------|
A------5-------3x3|------1---3----|------5-------3|----------------|
D-x7-7----x5------|--3-3----------|--7-7-----5----|--7-7-5-5-4-2--0|
Finish with a few jazzed-up repetitions of the main riff in the original key,
replacing the last bar of the last repetition by:
1 2 3 4 1 2 .... last few harmonics
