Fairly simple. It uses only three basic chords: D A G ====== ====== ====== |||||| |||||| |||||| <== other fingerings are possible for these |||1|2 ||111| |1|||| three, but these are the easiest for me. ||||3| |||||| 2||||3 Now strum along with the album, about 5 strums per chord letter in time: (I'm not sure if my chord/word sync is perfect here, it's been a while) D A G A I used to Love her, but ...(repeat as necessary) G A G A G D She bitched so much, she drove ..... Or something like that. The order of the chords at Nevada is accurate, if mine are not. The album is tuned down 1/2 step. What that means is that each one of the strings on Izzy's guitar was tuned one semitone lower in pitch than "standard" (A=440 hz) tuning when playing. So on the album what you actually hear instead of D A G A, etc is Dflat Aflat Gflat, etc, even though it's physically played in the exact same way. b = bend at first note to the pitch of the second note r = release to second note from the pitch of first note [] = note is not struck () = optional note Tune down 1/2 step First Solo D A G A -------10------------------------------------------------------- ----------10----------------------------10---------------------- --9b11------[11]r9--7--9--------7--9--7----9b11--7-------------- -------hold----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- D A G -------10-------10-------10----12b14-12-10-12-12------12-10----- -10b12----10b12----10b12----10---------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A G -17----------------------------14-15-16-17---------------------- ----17b19-17----15-17-15-17b19-------------17b19r17-15-17----15- ----------------------------------------------------------16---- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A G -17b19-17------------------------------------------------------- ----------17b19r17-15-17----15----17b18r17-15-17----15----15---- -------------------------16----------------------16----16------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A G A -17b19-19-19-19r17------------17-------17-------17-------------- -------hold-------------17b19----17b19----17b19----19r17-15-17-- -----------------------------------------------hold------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- D --------------------------------------------10------------------ ----15-17-15----15----15-15\---------------(10)-----13---------- -16----------16-------------------12-10h11------11-(11)--------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
