    The Same Mistakes

Tuning: E, A, D, G,

This tab-construct is without any “same mistakes” (...) because I played this song for a long time and found out the easiest way. It needs a few minutes practise. But if you rule it already it’s really practical to play because your fingers are on one height all the time and so you avoid making big unnecessary jumps on the board.

And by the way: Some people wrote that you need a pic to play this song. In my opinion you don’t need any pic! It sounds better with pure finger-playing- actual always! But try out your most pleasant way.


Bass comes in after a short intro.

Play this figure three times and when the third time’s finished, just add the eight following notes to the end:

GI----------------------
DI----------------------
AI3--3--3--3--6--6--6--6
EI----------------------

...and restart the whole pattern 1 X with normal tact and then 1 X in double-tact. At the end you add only:
GI----------------------
DI----------------------
AI6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6
EI----------------------

Now you play the whole construct in double-tact ‘till the end of the song (now without any additions!). Watch out! The song ends really abrupt and precise on the last note of the scheme.

(The most effective way to learn is to work it out by listening in combination with the tabs. But I think you know it...)

Good luck and congratulations for your excellent taste in music!
