I love this song. Well, this how I think it goes. You'll find most of it
correct, however, any corrections are welcomed. Let us begin.
Intro
after a wave of harmonics, here comes the groove, put by 2 guitars.
Guitar 1
e|------0---0----0---0---|------0---0----0--0------
B|------7---8----10--12--|------3---5----5--7------
G|-----------------------|-------------------------
D|-----------------------|-------------------------
A|--7-7---7---10---------|--3-3---3---5------------
E|-----------------------|-------------------------
Guitar 2
e|-----------------------|-------------------------
B|-----------------------|-------------------------
G|-----------------------|-------------------------
D|-----------------------|-------------------------
A|-7-x-7-x-x-7-x-7-x-x-7-|-7-x-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-x-x-5-
E|-----------------------|-------------------------
my best advice is to listen to the song, because the wah in guitar 2 needs to
have that "funk" in it.
then, the melodies hit a ABCBA pattern. there are tons of harmonizing in it,
but all i could do for now was the simple lead parts, ok? cool
this is A:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------10-12-13-13p10-12-
G|-------------------12-11---------------------------------------------
D|-14-12-14---12-14--------14-p12-14-/16\14-/17\14---------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
e|------------------------------------------------------
B|-/17-----/15----13---12-------------------------------
G|-----14------12---------------------------------------
D|-------------------------14---------------------------
A|------------------------------12--14--15--14-/-12-----
E|------------------------------------------------------
B:
e|--------15-/19--------15--17--15--14--15----------15-/21b-r-b-r-
B|-15--17--------15--17----------------------15--17---------------
G|----------------------------------------------------------------
D|----------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------
C:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G|---12--14--14/16-16--12--14/16-14-14--12-14-14/16-16-17-16-14/12-14-14-
D|-14----------------14---------------14----------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
repeat B and then play this awesome riff before hitting A again. this is a low
E string blues riff. it hits HARD. repeat this riff four times.
e|------------------------
B|------------------------
G|------------------------
D|------------------------
A|------------------------
E|--0--0--3--0--5--0--6-7-
thats all for now. more songs when i get the chance!
