ROAD Tuning EADEBE (capo 2nd fret - it's a little sharp of that though) Main pattern: h * |------0---------|-------(0)------| |---0---0--------|-----0----------| |--0-0------0---0|---0--0----0--0-| |-2---2--2-2---2-|--2----2--2--2--| |5--------4--02--|-0--0---0-------| 0|----------------|5--------4--0--0| t timrmi ritimt im ttimtrmittimtimt 2nd bit: # # # # |----------------|------------- - - | |----------------|------------- - - | |---0----0-----0-|---0--------- - - | 0|-0----0---0-0---|-0----0-0-0-2 - - | |--0--2-0-----2--|--0--2-0----- 2 - | |2---0----2-0---0|2---0----2-0- - 0 | # # # # |----------------|------------ |----------------|------------ |---0----0-----0-|---0-------- |-0----0---0-0---|-0----0-0-0- |--0--2-0-----2--|--0--2-0---- |2---0----2-0---0|2---0----2-0 3rd bit: |----------------|-------0--------| |-----0-------0--|----0---0-------| |--0---0---0---0-|---0-0--------0-| |---0---0---0---0|--2---2--2-2-2-2| |-2--2----2--2---|-0--------------| |5-------5-------|5---------4-0---| notes: 1. note the thumb picks both the bottom two strings; top string could be ring or little finger. probably easiest in the main riff if the index finger frets the D string - the 02 hammer at the end of the first bar can still be done with the middle finger. 2. in the 2nd bit, which one of the open middle two strings gets played at # is very variable. The version I've included here only occurs once but seems the least random (using just thumb and index fingers, with the index trying to keep two strings higher than the thumb, seems to work ok for me.) 3. I find hammering on the note at * in the 1st bit makes the picking easier and sounds OK. 4. there are occasional variations involving the top strings but I've left these out for clarity. 5. the verse is a little simpler: |----------------|----------------| |----0----0------|-----0----------| |--0--0---------0|---0--0----0----| |-2-2--2-2--2--2-|--2----2--2-----| |5------5--4-02--|-0--0---0-------| |----------------|5--------4--0---| |----------------|----------------| |----0-----------|-----0----------| |--0--0-0---0---0|---0--0----0--0-| |-2-2--2--2----2-|--2----2--2--2-2| |5-------5-4-02--|-0--0---0-------| |----------------|5--------4--0---| Tabbed by Chris Healey
