issac plays this song on his danelectro
intro:
the intro riff is pretty easy (not as easy as the verse) but it is a
little tricky at first.
e ------------------------------||-------------------------------------|b ------------------------------||-------------------------------------|g# ------------------------------||-------------------------------------|e ------------------------------||-------------------------------------|g# --------2^0---5^6-53-2^3--0--||--5-7-8-75-53-3-3--3-0----------------|e --0--4------------------------||--0-0-0-0---0---0-0--0---------------|
repeat this three times then play thisverse:the verse is just two sets of harmonics been played in the whole notes.e ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|b ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|e ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|e ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------|
*harmonics *harmonicsmake sure to hit all the notes in a quick downstroke, and not rake it,to get it so sound right.after like two repetitions of that, start strumming the harmonics tothe rhythm of the song.solo:a standard wicked ass issac solo.e -------------------||------------------------------------------------|b --3-----3--3-5-----||-----7-7-7-7-7^8-75-53--------------------------|g# ----4-2------------||------------------------------------------------|e -------------------||------------------------------------------------|g# -------------------||------------------------------------------------|e -------------------||------------------------------------------------|
play this twice then play this twicee -------------------||-----------------------------------------------|b --3-5-7-8-7-5-3----||-----10-----8-7-8-7-3---10-8-7-7^8-7-5-3-------|g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------|e -------------------||-----------------------------------------------|g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------|e -------------------||-----------------------------------------------|
play this twice then play this oncethe last part:issac is saying stuff like "if there's one thing i know about this town..."and he plays stuff like this:e --------------------------------------------------------------------|b ------7-4-----------------------------------------------------------|g# ----------5-3-2-0-2-------------------------------------------------|e --4^7---------------------------------------------------------------|g# --------------------------------------------------------------------|e --------------------------------------------------------------------|
he does do variations of this theme, but i think its unessecary to
tab these out. if yer band covers this song, this part should be yours.
the end.
