5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D GCapotraste: Sem capotraste
most of the song is a simple 5-bar sequence which repeats.
for the first three bars, the bass plays this three times:
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-0-5-5-5-0-|
variations: replacing the final E with A (happens a lot, do this all throughout first instrumental)
replacing the first E with G (a little less common, but still heard in some parts)
the last two bars are played like this
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-|
variations: replacing the final note with a low G
omitting a few notes around the start of the first bar
replacing one or two of the notes in second bar with a high G (on 5th fret of D string)
all together, here's an example of one of the 5-bar riffs that you might hear in the song
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----5-----------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-0-5-5-5-0-|-3-3-3-0-5-5-5-5-|-3-3-3-0-5-5-5-0-|-3---3---3-3-3-3-|-3-3---3-3-3-3-0-|
just try improvising with this basic structure and it should sound alright
and at 3:39, the song ends with something like
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-0-5-5b-5--|-5-5-5-5-5r-x-5--|-5---x-3-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-7---------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-5-5-5---5---5-5-|-5---5---5-5-5-5-|-5---5-5-5-5-5---|-5---5---5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-----------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|
b = bend
r = release
x = dead note
