B|-|---------------------------------||
G|-|---------------------------------||
D|-|---------------------------------||
A|-|---7-7---7----7----7-7-7-7-7-----||
E|-|-0-7-7-0-6--0-5--0-3-3-3-5-3-0---||
Now, there's also a second guitar part played at the same time as the
signature riff. If you listen close you can hear it. It sounds quite a
bit like the following:
e|-|-----0-------0--------0-------0------||
B|-|---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0----||
G|-|-4-------3--------2-------0----------||
D|-|-------------------------------------||
A|-|-------------------------------------||
E|-|-------------------------------------||
Then, when the verses come in, there's this simple, 2 chord riff. (If ya'
wanna get technical, I think the chords are F#5/E and F#5.) I'm not very
good at writing it out "in rhythm" so just listen to the song and you'll
get the gist of it:
e|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
B|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
G|-|----------------|------------------|---------------------------||
D|-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x----||
A|-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x----||
E|-|-0-2--0-2-x-x-x-|-x-0-2-2-0--2-x-0-|-(0)--2-2--0--2--x--x-x----||
Ah, but there's ALSO that cool ascending and descending harmonic thing,
right? Right. Well, all you gotta do is lightly touch the E string at
about the 3rd fret and pick 4 times (in rhythm) while gradually moving
your finger toward the 1st fret. That's the ascending harmonic part; for
the descending, just reverse your direction.
Ascending: DEscending:
e|-|-----------------||--------------------||
B|-|-----------------||--------------------||
G|-|-----------------||--------------------||
D|-|-----------------||--------------------||
A|-|-----------------||--------------------||
E|-|-*3*-*2*-*2*-*1*-||-*1*-*1*-*2*-*3*----||
(natural harm.) (natural harm.)
Then, for the "chorus" ("I know you want what's on my mind..." etc.) it's
just standard power chords (5th's). Here's how to finger them:
B A D/A
e|-|---|---|-----||
B|-|---|---|-3---||
G|-|-4-|-2-|-2---||
D|-|-4-|-2-|-0---||
A|-|-2-|-0-|-0---||
E|-|---|---|-----||
And HED 's where they go:
B A D/A A B
I know you want what's on my mind,
B A D/A A B
I know you'll like what's on my mind,
B A D/A A B
I know it eats you up inside,
B A D/A
I know you know, you know, you know.
After the second "chorus", you go straight into this nifty riff. It's a
simple moving-chord-shape. I use my middle and ring fingers to do this:
e|-|-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---||
B|-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---||
G|-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---||
D|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
A|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Okay, I think that's it. The song's pretty repetitive. Just piece it
together from what I have here and you should be okay. There's no solo
(thank God; DeLeo's solos are a bitch to figure out 'cause they're mostly
just noise).
