do you mean the intro?

Post by **Olly** » Mon May 06, 2013 7:23 pm

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

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....

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...

i can tab you the intro if you need it but have you sorted it?(intro)

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

INTRO:

double click to enlarge
this is the tab playing..so the sound is as good as it gets

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

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?!!?

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

Post by **Olly** » Tue May 07, 2013 7:09 pm

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' ?
