TAB Key
h - hammer on
p - pulloff
s - slide
X - mute with palm of picking hand
U - upstroke
D - downstroke
() - incidental note
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
** Tuning **
The tuning used for this song is EGDABD - this isn't a regular 'open
tunings'
(at least not ones that I could find any reference to). A lot of
people think
that deriving tunings from a record is a 'black art' - but it can be
straight
forward if you just think about it logically. Listen for open strings,
and
think about finger positions.
The tuning used here was derived mainly using the song intro, and
confirmed
in other parts of it.
If you start with standard tuning: EADGBE, the tuning can be derived
as follows.
The 2 highest notes which are left ringing sound to be open strings -
so we have
X X X X B D
The first 2 notes of the common picked pattern are doubled notes - so
a logical
step would be to tune the A down to G giving:
X G X X B D
The descending run which occurs in bar 4, contains open strings, the
highest note
which is picked is an 'A' - implying that the G - string needs to be
tuned up to
an open A, giving:
X G D A B D
The only undefined string is the low E-string, which can be left tuned
to E since
the doubled G note can be played quite easily on the 3rd fret. If you
then look at
verse 1 bar 8, there is an ascending little riff which uses the lowest
3 strings in
open positions, confirming the tuning to be:
E G D A B D (low to high)
** Playing Notes **
Technically this song is quite a simple one. All the verses (except
verse 3)
consist of a single picked pattern, (with embellishments here and
there) and a
single string melody. When playing the bars with the common picking
pattern
let the D and B strings ring out. Verse 3 which uses the same shapes
as the chorus.
Guitar 1 plays the main parts in the song.
The chorus' all use the same shape which correspond to 3 D-notes being
played in
unison. When playing the chorus' make sure you spend some time getting
the picking
attack right and the overall feel. If you play it just as its written
down then its
going to sound dull, flat, boring etc. Put a bit of life into it. Make
sure your
guitar is in tune, since the 3 D's in unison can sound fairly
'unforgiving' if your
tuning isn't up to scratch.
Guitar 2 is used in the guitar solos only.
Both solos contain the same ideas with only minor variations between
each other.
The second guitar solo is used to bring the song to a close. Both
solos convey a
very Spanish/flamenco feel. If/when you play the rhythm track behind
the guitar
solo make sure you play it a little more vigourously than when its
played in the
normal chorus.
In the song theres a lot going off in to hide what the guitar is
doing.
There are the usual orchestrial parts, 3-part vocal harmonies, a
buried
mandolin track on chorus 2 and a glockenspiel with delay on the guitar
solo. Happy listening.
