  • X - mute with palm of hand

    U - upstroke

    D - downstroke

  •  

    This is mainly a 2 guitar song. Guitar1 is in the right stereo channel

    and guitar24 is in the left. Guitar2 has a cleaner sound than guitar1.

  •  

    This song is a straight forward boogie kind of thing in the key of G. The

    verses centre around G and C, and the chorus' centre around E5 and A5. I was a

  • bit of a 'train spotter' and tried to include all the rhythmic variations (as

    well as ascii tab allows) because it sounds boring just played with a

    straight shuffle feel.

  •  

    The guitar solo has guitar1 picking out the melody, guitar2 playing the backing

    chords and guitar3 playing a short, descending, 'walking bassline' sequence.

  • Guitars 1 and 3 can be included as one part quite easily but the way all the

    notes are left ringing I would say there are 2 guitars on the record here.

     

  • The timings between the 2 guitars, as written above, should be pretty accurate

    but check the record for details.

     

  • The choruses and 'Do Do' sections are filled out with an Organ (and handclaps)
