Tuning: Standard Chords used: (Relative to the capo) Lead Guitar Rhythm (capo 3rd fret) D minor B minor F major 6 D major F sus4 D sus4 A#/Bb major G major G minor E minor Intro/Verse Rhythm Guitar Fairly laid back strumming, you should be able to play along to the track to make sure right. The Dsus4 is used as a passing phrase before you go to the G so don't hang around it!Continues after the adB min ||| / D maj | D sus4 D maj | / G maj ||| / E min ||| Stay on the G before going to the chorus. Chorus A bit loose on the video I've seen but roughly this pattern. B min ||||||| / D maj ||| / G maj | / G maj | / G maj ||| That's the entire rhythm part for the song, which is repeated throughout - under the it's the verse chords. Lead Guitar Intro Improvised around the D minor pentatonic scale - if you don't know that then here it is You can use this shape starting on the 6th string in any key just by moving that first :) Verse Just add a little fill here and there, but the memorable riff you'll hear is tabbed next to the D minor pentatonic shape. Strum the G till rhythm guitar moves to the chorus!D Minor Pentatonic 'Box' G min E|------------------------------ B|------------------------10-13- G|------------------10-12------- D|------------10-12------------- A|------10-12------------------- E|10-13------------------------- E|10-13-|---------------------- B|------|---------------------- G|------|---------------------- D|------|---------------------- A|------|--------8v---------8v- E|------|-10-10v----10p8h10---- --------------10-------| --------------11-------| --------------12-------| --------------12-------| ---------8b---10-------| 10p8h10v---------------|Chorus With the same pattern as the rhythm guitar play these barre chords (see below) D minor / F major 6 / A# majorE|-5---------10----------6-------- B|-6---------10----------6-------- G|-7---------10----------7-------- D|-7---------10----------8-------- A|-5---------8-----------8-------- E|-----------------------6--------For the rest of the song, just use these parts as a guide and improvise in D minor and the D blues scale. Solo section uses the scales mentioned above, but here's the blues scale in the same as the pentatonic one for those who don't know :) (Don't hang around too long on the notes brackets or you'll sound a bit rubbish)D Blues Scale E|---------------------------- B|---------------------------- G|----------------------10-12- D|----------------10-12------- A|------10-(11)-12------------ E|10-13----------------------- E|-----------10-13-| B|-----10-13-------| G|(13)-------------| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------|
