This is my very first tab ever uploaded.
I couldn't find the riff for this song anywhere and I saw others asking for it too and
decided seeing as I have to work it out now anyway,
I'm happy to share. The chords were also inaccurate in the only option I found.
The beauty lies in Louis' use of sevenths and minor seven chords mainly that probably
made them harder to recognise?
Play a basic arpeggio picking over the entire song to create that specific sound.
I indicated a single strum with a "/" next to the Chord.
Also play around with the D7 Chord by hammering and pulling of with the pinkie to
alternate between the Dsus and D2 or plain D7 Chords
for some extra colouring in. Listen to the song again to get a good idea.
Let's see how this posts!
