Write Me(or 'Write Me A Letter')
from the album AEROSMITH
REVISED(11/22/96): intro riff slightly changed
I don't have all of this but I do have most of it. Correct it if you can.
intro riff-
guitar 1(distortion) E------------------------------------| B------------------------------------| G------------------------------------| D--5--3----------3--3-----2--2-------| A--------5-5-------------------------| E-------------3--------3---------3---| repeat
I find it easiest to use my thumb when playing the lower notes.
(pay more attention to the rhythm and the feel than to the numbers) E------------------------------------------------3-| B------------------------------------------------3-| G------------------------------------------------4-| D-5-7--5-7---5-7--5-7---7-9--7-9--3-3-x-4-4-x-5--5-| A-3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---5-5--5-5--3-3-x-4-4-x-5----| E---------------------------------1-1-x-2-2-x-3----|
guitar 2(right before verse) E---------------------| B----------3--0-------| G---0--3b--------3----| D---------------------| A---------------------| E---------------------|
verse/main riff- E-----------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------| G-----------------------------------------------| D-------------------------5-5-7-5-7--5-5-7-5-7--| A---5-5-7-5-7--5-5-7-5-7--3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3--| E---3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3------------------------|
E------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D--7-7-9-7-9--3---4---5--| A--5-5-5-5-5--3---4---5--| E-------------1---2---3--| continue similar pattern
Then there are a bunch of chords that I don't feel like figuring out right now
and this lick right before the harmonica solo:
E---3------------------------------| B---3------------------------------| G---4---------------------------3--| D---5---------------------3--5-----| A---5------------3--4--5-----------| E---3------3--6--------------------|
After the harmonica solo the rhythm guitar goes into this riff:
E----------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------5-0-7-5----7-5-------| D---5---7-7-----5---7-7----5----5-0-7-5--0-7-5-0-5-7-| A-0-5-0-7-7---0-5-0-7-7--0-5-0--3-0-5-3--0-5-3-0-5-7-| E-0-3-0-5-5---0-3-0-5-5--0-3-0-------------------3-5-|
During this part, the other guitar plays something like this: E------------------------------------| B------------------------------------| G------------------------------------| D--------7-------------7-------------| A------------------------------------| E------------------------------------|
Follow the tab here loosely.Just play it in rhythm and it should sound alright: (Palm mute) bend it when it sounds appropriate E-----------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------| G---5-7-7b-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7r-5-| D-7---------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------|
E----------------------------| B----------------------------| G-5-7-5--5-7-5-5-7-5-5-------| D----------------------5-7---| A----------------------------| E----------------------------|
That's all I have right now but it should get you through most of the song. As always, send all
and corrections to meunier.1@osu.edu Have fun with it.
Symbols used:
x = percussive sound
