Ok so I am a GIANT fan of "Deadliest Catch" but no so big on
Bon Jovi. However, every single time I watch that show I hear
the intro and just HAD to play it for you because I'm sure the
song won't get out of your head either...LOL.
The song is meant to be played on a 12-string, but you can still
play it on your standard acoustic. Also note that there are a
few times that you would technically need an electric for the
lead guitar, but again you can play this song using only your
acoustic. You just may have to alter a few tiny techniques to
make it work. (Such as the tremolo dive, a FEW harmonics, etc.)
Intro Theme 1
Intro Theme 2
Verse Theme
Chorus 2
I didn't play the first chorus because there's no real lead
in it. In turn, I played the second one which is the same with
lead.
Here is the rhythm:
Here they are together:
Solo
Again, here you may have to alter a few things. I haven't found
an acoustic transcription of what Sambora plays on the acoustic
during the solo (unplugged), so this will have to do. All of
it is completely playable as far as fretting the notes go.
I played the following solo over the 1st verse theme, which
is the same thing being played here.
