Intro: 4 bars of drums... and:
[G(6)] [Cmaj7] [G(6)] [Cmaj7]
Note: the intro not exact... just understand the point,
which is use the G(6) and Cmaj7 chords listed below
strumming in a gentle rythym. for the right hand,
i use my thumb to sort of strum the bass notes and
i use my index and middle fingers to grab the notes
on the b and e strings. sorry if that's confusing
but you'll figure it out, i'm sure. this same method
is used in the verse also. most important: be relaxed!
that said, this guitar pops up a couple of bars after
the above guitar... heavily distorted, but volume low:
[(G6)] [(Cmaj7)]
Note: that's right... hendrix style oblique bends! hopefully
you understand these, but if you don't no big deal. i'll
try to explain. for the G6 bend, finger the 7th fret
of the b string with your left index finger.
next, finger the 9th fret g string with your left
ring finger. strum both strings simultaneously, and
bend the g string up with your ring finger (i recommend
reinforcing the bend with your middle finger) bend
the g string up one whole step, until it rings the same
pitch as the b string... that's an oblique bend.
Verse: pretty straightfoward, here's the shapes:
[G(6)]0 [Cmaj7] 0
0 0
0 0
0 2
[2]3 [3]x
they alternate every bar.
at times in the verse, they'll throw in:
high e: 0 2 3 2 0
chorus: one guitar strums the chords, one plays the octaves.
w/distortion... don't use verse shapes, use these:
[G]3 [D/F#]3 [Em7]3 [G6]0 [Cmaj7]0
3 3 3 0 0
0 2 0 0 4
0 0 2 0 5
x x 2 2 3
3 2 0 3 x
octaves part:
G D/F# Em7 G6 Cmaj7 (and a bar of just Cmaj7)
hard song to explain... you'll figure it out.
