SONG: Always Be My Baby BAND: Mariah Carey Album: #1’s Tabbed by: Dr. Jay-Rodd Funk Adamanatams Registered as: redfield566 Continuous Alternate Picking is key for playing this and bringing the full effect of the song. Use this picking technique going quickly back and forth between strings. Use all standard tuning and wear a big furry green hat with leopard trim around the edges and a peacock feather coming out of it. Intro Riff (X8): (this sounds great on acoustic but on the record it sounds like its played on electric with a chorus effect) E]------------------------------------- B]--5----5--5--5--5-4-5-2-0-0-----0-0-2 G]---4-4--4---4--4---------0---0-0-0--- D]------------------------------------- A]------------------------------------- E]------------------------------------- Verse Riff (X2): (this is done on piano on the record but play these chords and let them ring when indicated (~) and it’s right) E]-------------------------------- B]-5~~-4-2~~---------------------- G]-4~~-4-2~~4-2~~~4~-2-4---------- D]----------4-2~~~4~-2-4---------- A]-------------------------------- E]-------------------------------- Chorus Riff is the Intro Riff (X4) The Bridge is just improvisation of the Intro/Chorus Riff And close with the finale using the full Intro/Chorus Riff! This is the first tab I have written at the fabulously mystical mxtabs site of swirling color and sound and I hope to contribute many more to this musical family. Be fresh Be funky and keep that funk alive!!!!!
