~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Moan by: The Black Keys The Moan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tabbed by: Connor O. Tuning: Standard Effects: Fuzz Version 1 of this tab was rather spot on. But I noticed there is a low E bass-line being played in parallel for most of the song. Also, there are a few different riffs used in the verses that were not tabbed before. Also, most of the solo wasn't tabbed. Keep in mind that parts of the solo below are played VERY quickly. That being said, it's a cool little twist of a song based on "Poor Boy" by Howlin' Wolf. Comment/message with corrections/ideas. Please rate my tab. Key: where # represents a number #h# - hammer #p# - pull / \ - slides, up and down respectively. #b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note. #r# - release bend from bended note to normal note. === - beneath chord box. Represents the use of a guitar slide.
