In case you weren't aware, the original recording of this song actually
has ELEVEN guitars in it. Yes - ELEVEN! However, this version is much
more user friendly and I think it does the song justice.
This song has an acoustic and electric playing in it, but everything
on this page can be played with an acoustic. The only time
there is major electric that isn't really playable on acoustic is the
Solo. Since there was quite a bit of acoustic in this song,
I just had to add it.
Intro
The very beginning of the Intro is on
acoustic, and it's this, played four times:
Then, this theme repeats for the rest of the Intro, with an added
Am chord progression that changes from above.
Here is the entire Intro
with both acoustic and electric:
It seems like a lot, but it really isn't. The concept stays the same
for the electric, which I played with a little reverb on a clean setting.
The acoustic is a little bit more challenging, but overall there are
only a few minute changes.
Here's the full intro from directly above:
Here is just the acoustic backing so you can practice the lead to
it:
It's important that you learn the Intro part above, as it is literally
the Chorus for the song. There are only a few tiny changes, and they
should
be self-explanatory.
Interlude
Here's the beat for the Interlude to help you work with the lead within:
Here's the full Interlude:
Outro
It seems long, but again it's very repetitve. You can play this all
the way through as I did and end it on an Am.
If you were playing lead
to it like I was, (and improvising a little) you can end the song
on the second fret on the G string.
(There are repeat bars below, but I didn't repeat. It's the same thing
over and over.)
