LICK:
Simple scalar lick links to various chords on 4+
3 + 4 +
E|---------|
B|-0-1-3---| <- middle-finger
G|-0-2-4---| <- ring-finger
D|---------|
A|---------|
E|---------|
Basic rhythm technique:
1 pluck the 1st 2nd 3rd-strings and a bass note with the thumb and fingers
+ brush the 1st and 2nd-strings with an upstroke
2 mute all the strings with a slap
+ new chord (syncopated)
VERSE-FIGURE:
G Ebmaj9 F7 G
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
E|-----------------|---1-------1-----|--- <- 1st-string omitted in INTRO
B|-0===x---0-1-3-3=|=====x-1=====x-0=|===
G|-0===x---0-2-4-3=|=====x-2=====x-0=|=== === = sustained note
D|-0===x-0-------1=|=====x-1=====x-0=|=== x = muted slap
A|-----------------|-----------------|---
E|-3===x-3---------|---------------3=|===
Bass guitar (after first verse) plays a G-pedal thus: G Ebmaj9/G F7/G
CHORUS:
Rising line over a minor-descending progression
(same as Waterloo Sunset, Stairway To Heaven etc)
Em-chord with bass descending E-D#-D-C#
and pad rising E-F#-G-A
Suggested fingerings necessarily omit the E-note in Bar-3 and 4
BRIDGE:
Names reflect the ensemble sound of D G and A notes in each chord
Gadd2/B C6/9 Dsus4 Gadd2/D
