/ - slide up ^ - bend up . - palm muting * - natural harmonics # - pickslide ~ - let note ring |------------12*12*| |12*12*12*12*------| |------------------| |------------------| |------------------| |------------------| This is the rough way to play it, all I do is basically play this. Just alternate pick them. Intro/ Chorus The basic chord progression goes as so for the chorus :) It's pretty easy just take a listen and you'll get it nice and easily. There's some muting in too, just play along however you feel most comfortable. |----------| |----------| |----------| |7/9-x5/9-7| |5/7-x3/7-5| |----------| You play this four times and the last D5, well C5 as its in D standard tuning, you let chord ring for a bar or two. Mini random fill :) |-------------|-----| |-------------|-----| |-------------|-----| |-------------|-----| |22-222-22-222|2-2-2| |00-000-00-000|0-0-0| PM . . . A lovely little fill to keep the song close-ish to the original Robert Tepper version, for those who don't know who he is, the song off of Rocky IV where he drives his Lambo :P Verse |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |-------77-777-55-555-55-555-5-5-5| |22-222-55-555-33-333-22-222-2-2-2| |00-000---------------------------| PM. . . Pre-chorus |------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |9~~~~7~~~~5~~~~5~~~~----| |7~~~~5~~~~3~~~~2~~~~----| |--------------------####| If you want to, play yourself some triplets when moving down to the next chords, and some fun with the pick-slide too, if you want to do a pinch harmonic on the open G and pull with the whammy bar, sounds cool, of course only if you've got a two way bridge :P Just play the chorus here, its the same as the intro if you didn't notice. Right just play the verse here, and then obviously the pre-chorus :) Again comes the chorus, however the chorus plays again, with the inclusion of the solo, mess around normally, and this the closest I managed to get to it :) |---------------------------------15^-15^-15^-15^----15^-12-19^p17p15h17^| |---------------------5-5/8-10^-8----------------------------------------| |---------------7-5-4----------------------------------------------------| |2--2-4-5-7-5-4-----------------------------------14---------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| The bit with the pull offs is really just me messing around, it sounds cool if you get timing right. Although if you want, just mess around in D minor or the pentatonic of D :) Little fill straight after the solo |---------| |---------| |---------| |---------| |222-2~~~~| |000-0~~~~| The bit that comes after all this is just those harmonics I tabbed at the top of the :) There's an FX guitar doing a few small arpeggios over this, except I couldn't quite them. Ear's not so refined. Just do the pre-chorus afterwards. Obviously comes the chorus again, although I'm sure you need not read this cause you'll :) Just play it all the way till the fade out. For the little solo till the fade out all I play is: |------15----12---------15^~15p14h15| |--------------15-------------------| |12-14----14------12-14-------------| I know this isn't 100% but I'm sure |-----------------------------------| it's pretty close. |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| Anyway, enjoy the song, its a fun one to play as I'm sure you know :) Please comment to correct any bits that are wrong and I'll edit them in :) Cheers :)
