To my mind it's no point in having reams of TABs showing complex fretboard
fingerings if
don't know and understand the underlyling structure and chords of the song.
Once you've got that,
the rest is easy (ha ha ..)
First of all, it's not "complicated". What makes it sound "complex" is the
basic structure
with the overlay of Bass and of course the Lead (Solo) guitar. You can,
however, get a
rendition, also using an acoustic guitar, with this simple and effective
playing technique.
If you don't want to play the "fiddly bits" (riffs) ... just play the chords;
it sounds as good.
- Try it. Play along to the record. It works.
Some TABs show the song being played around the 4th/5th & 7th frets using
D7#9, A7 and etc.
This is not neccessary and the chord inversions at those positions don't
produce the
sound - which is what you want isn't it ?-)
- If you like it so far, I can post the Solo guitar bits - they're also
(made:-) simple !-)
[ ] = Optional - You can play them if you wish. You can also alternate during
the song
- It makes it more interesting; play if you like, don't play
if you don't
- The optional [~] vibrato, after the H2 Hammer-on, gives it
extra & feel.
( ) = not required - It's the top 3 strings (1st, 2nd & 3rd) that give the
distinctive sound.
