Re: Help - How are they playing this

Yep. That and the main riff. I can't work it out!!

Re: Help - How are they playing this

it seem like the whole song is a riff ...the intro seems easy enough but then it gets very busy plus theres quite a bit going on with brass...is there any tabs for it
its a bit AC/DC ....cue for james....

Re: Help - How are they playing this

Cannot find any tabs for it.

The riff seems to be something based around E - A - Asus 4 (or maybe D)

I can't seem to work it out though! Hopefully James can help...

No, It is the intro I can't work out. I know it is simple but I cannot find where they are playing it!

the E chord is actually E/G#     and the D is D/F#

edit:in the tab change 6 to 7 on the second chord of each bar

Re: Help - How are they playing this

Thanks for this - it is almost spot on but I hear a difference between the first two chords in the recording, so unless I am hearing something that isnt there - which I may be?!!?

Re: Help - How are they playing this

yeh its G# to A  ( notes on the E chord ) before the D

Re: Help - How are they playing this

Yes that is definitely the note. Though looking at this it is played lower down the neck

this is probably more rock and roll and easier play when your pi**ed ( tab should be open D chord )

this would be more fluent....E @the 9th pos etc
i would think it would be this ..since it seems to slide down to the 'D' ?
