Heil) Subject: Wiser Time by The Black Crowes Song: "Wiser Time" Artist: The Black Crowes Album: _Amorica_ Tab by: Steven J. Heil (sjheil@ibm.net) Well, here's my shot at this great tune. I play it tuned down 1/2 step (mostly because that's how my guitar's usually tuned), but since it's all barres, you could play it in regular tuning. (It would be easier in open E tuning, and I'd be willing to bet that the Crowes play it that way to get the slides down right) ====================================================================== Progression #1: B - A# - G# Progression #2: Ab - Bb - Bb, Bb - C - C, Eb - C - C# - Bb - C - Ab - Ab NOTE: Don't play the A# and B chords as E-barres - they don't ==== sound right. Play all of these as A-barres, except the Ab. ====================================================================== Song Structure: Intro (Progression 1 X 4) Verse 1 (Progression 1 X 4) Fill (Progression 1 X 2) Verse 2 (Progression 1 X 4) Chorus (Progression 2 X 2) Electric Guitar Solo (Progression 1 X 4) Verse 3 (Progression 1 X 4) Chorus (Progression 2 X 2) Steel Guitar Solo (Progression 1 X 4) Organ Solo (Progression 1 X 4) Electric Guitar Solo (Progression 1 X 4) Chorus X 2 (Progression 2 X 4) NOTE: There are tons of fills, licks, & slides all over the intro, ==== fill, verses, choruses, and solos, but I'm strictly rhythm, so good luck on those!
