Misirlou ************************** Dick Dale and his Del-tones This is how i play the song, its kinda a combination of different versions. If you have any questions, email me at the_spunky_leprechaun@yahoo.com Legend ------------------ h- hammer on p- pull off /- slide up \- slide down TM-tremelo picking x- chuck string b- bend Notes ------------------ *There is tremelo picking throughout pretty much the entire song *On most of the slides, you should continue to pick very fast *Getting the perfect tone can be difficult. If you have a wah pedal, you can bring out the trebel with it. *************************** INTRO ********************************* *For this beginning slide, chuck most of the strings and move down the fretboard quickly, continuously picking. Also, when playing on a single string, try using your left hand to dampen the other strings to prevent from hitting them. e-----x-/-/-15-\-\-\-\---------------------------------------------| b-----x-/-\-15-\-\-\-\---------------------------------------------| g-----x-/-/--x-\-\-\-\---------------------------------------------| d-----x-/-/--x-\-\-\-\---------------------------------------------| a------------------------------------------------------------------| 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-| *For this part, tremelo pick on the open E string while randomly fretting the other notes. e-------------------------------------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------------------------------------| e-0--13--16--17--16--19--17--20--19--17--19--17--16--17--13--12-----| e------------------------------------------------------------------| b------------------------------------------------------------------| g------------------------------------------------------------------| d------------------------------------------------------------------| a------------------------------------------------------------------| E--12--11--10--9--8--7--6--5--4--3--2--1--0-\-\-\-12---------------| ************************ Melody 1 ************************** *Make sure you play continuous 16th notes, the timing is very important e---------------------------------------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------------------------------------| E-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-11-11-11-11-8-8-8-8-| e----------------------------------| b----------------------------------| g----------------------------------| d----------------------------------| a----------------------------------| E-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-12-\-\-\-| e---------------------------------------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------------------------------------| E-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-11-11-11-11-8-8-8-8-| e---------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------| E-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-12-/-14-\-\-\-| e----------------------------------------------------| b----------------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------------------------| d----------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------| E-8-8-8-8-10--8--8p7-8p7-5--7-7-7-7-8--7--5p4-5p4-5--| e----------------------------------| b----------------------------------| g----------------------------------| d----------------------------------| a----------------------------------| E--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-7-7-| e----------------------------------------------------| b----------------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------------------------| d----------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------| E-8-8-8-8-10--8--8p7-8p7-5--7-7-7-7-8--7--5p4-5p4-1--| e---------------------------------| b---------------------------------| g---------------------------------| d---------------------------------| a---------------------------------| E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| e-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9--------| b-12-12-12-12-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9--------| g----------------------------------------------------| d----------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------| E-(0)------------------------------------------------| ************************* Melody 2 ************************** For this part of the song, you play the exact same notes as the first part, only it's all on the high e string. Picking this fast on the high e string is harder than on the low E string, so it might take some practice. Make sure you keep pick strokes very small and only hit the one string. ************************* Interlude ************************* e-------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------| E-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-5-5-| e-------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------| E-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-7-7-| e---------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------| E-8-8-8-8-7-7-8-8-11-11-11-11-8-8-11-11-| e-------------------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------------------| E-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-| e-------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------| E-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-5-5-| e-------------------------------------| b-------------------------------------| g-------------------------------------| d-------------------------------------| a-------------------------------------| E-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-7-7-| e----------------------------------------------| b----------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------------------| d----------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------| E-8-8-8-8-7-7-8-8-11-11-11-11-8-8-8-8--5-\-\-\-|12 e---------------------------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------------------------| E-4-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-4-4-5-5-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-| e---------------------------------------------------------| b---------------------------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------| a---------6-------6-------6-6-7-7-7-------7-------7-------| E-7-7-5-5-4-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-4-4-5-5-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-| e---------4-------4-------4-4-5-5-5-------5-------5-------| b---------4-------4-------4-4-5-5-5-------5-------5-------| g---------5-------5-------5-5-6-6-6-------6-------6-------| d---------6-------6-------6-6-7-7-7-------7-------7-------| a-9-9-7-7-6-------6-------6-6-7-7-7-------7-------7-------| E-7-7-5-5-4-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-4-4-5-5-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-| *Slow down significantly at this point e-7-7-5-5------------------------------------------------------| b-7-7-5-5------------------------------------------------------| g-8-8-6-6------------------------------------------------------| d-9-9-7-7------------------------------------------------------| a-9-9-7-7------------------------------------------------------| E-7-7-5-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-8-11--8\11/8-| *Quickly pick each chord e--------------------------0----5----8----10----------------| b--------------------------0----5----8----10----------------| g--------------------------1----6----9----11----------------| d--------------------------2----7----10---12----------------| a--------------------------2----7----10---12----------------| E--7----7\8/7--5--7--1--0--0----5----8----10----------------| ************************* Outro **************************** *This uses a minor pentatonic scale in E, so if you don't like the outro i've provided, you can come up with your own. e--7\10h12-12-12-10h12-12-12-15p12----12-------------------| b----------------------------------15----15p12----12-------| g----------------------------------------------14----14p12-| d----------------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------| e------------------------------------------------12----------| b------------------------------------------------12----------| g---------------12h14p12-------------------------13----------| d--14p12--12h14----------14p12-------------------12----------| a------------------------------14-13-12----------14----------| E---------------------------------------10\12----12----------| So thats the song.
