    in not-so-brief, its like this.......
  •  
     
    This song isn't on a studio album, so I'm gonna assume you've never heard
  • it and try to get across how to play it just using this tab......
     
    The song's quite bright in terms of tempo and mood. It's 4/4 timing at
  • 124 beats per minute. There's a bit of a Joan Armatrading 1975/6
    influence here...(try the 'Back to the Night' album).
     
  • Overall, its an upbeat strummed guitar played over a bongo rhythm track.
    The actual rhythm of the drum part isn't a million miles from
    "Occasionally", but slightly faster (Occasionally is 119 bpm) and played
  • on a drum :>)
     
     
  • There are three sections to the guitar part- this first one makes up most
    of the song....
     
  • First, get something that clicks 124 times a minute (or at least at a
    steady rhythm)...this tab won't make much sense without following the
    timing pretty close...
  •  
    then, get the feel for the basic rhythm by playing this over and over
    (using barred E shapes).....

    Cut the bass notes short (at the ".") to give a funky(?) feel
  •  
    In the last bar, delay the strums at the end to create an expectation for
    the Db in the next bar
  •  
     
    Once you've gotten that into your head...fill it out a bit by playing the
  • same thing but *also* hitting the string each side of the one you were
    picking before......like this....

  • then, spice that up by sliding between the bass notes, synchopating a
    bit, chucking in some extra strumming and generally putting some
    expression into it...then call this [part 1].
  •  
     
    Right, now you've got the intro, most of the chorus and half the verse
  • sorted out.... here's the vocal....
     
    just play [part1] over and over and sing this.....
