"Let You Down" Second guitar part. (Tim Reynolds)

Alright here is a little stab at the chords he is using.... (if they aren't exactly what he is using, they are very close and work just fine within the song)

Code: Select all

I----------------------------------I
I---8---7---2---3---3---(2)--(2)---I
I---9---7---2---0---4---(2)--(4)---I
I---9---7---0---4---4---(0)--(4)---I
I---7---9-------5---2--------(2)---I
I--------------(2)-----------------I
Something close to that, of course Timmy is Timmy and variation is a must. But, that's a pretty good base. Now here are some scales/notes that fit in with the song. If you don't know a whole lot about soloing this will help you for every song, it will just be shifted to the correct key of that song. Anyways, here it is for "Let You Down".

Code: Select all

I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I
I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I
I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I---I
I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I
I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I
I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I-x-I---I---I
          3       5       7       9           12          15                <-- Fret Number
The x's in this scale represent the notes that you hit. The song is in a B scale and this is the main scale I use to jam....

Code: Select all

I---------------------------------------------7---10---I
I------------------------------------7---10------------I
I----------------------------7---9---------------------I
I--------------------7---9-----------------------------I
I------------7---9-------------------------------------I
I---7---10---------------------------------------------I
I hope this helps everyone. Here is one more scale, I know this sounds lame, but if you do not know how to solo well this will help you look "cool" and will sound good with the song. This scale runs up and down the fret board. (Makes you look like you know what you are doing even if you don't... "Cool").

Code: Select all

I--------------------------------------------------10---12---14---I
I----------------------------------------10---12------------------I
I---------------------------7---9---11----------------------------I
I-------------------7---9-----------------------------------------I
I-------5---7---9-------------------------------------------------I
I---7-------------------------------------------------------------I
Once again, I really hope this helped everybody out, at least a little bit. If anyone has any questions on these scales or the "Let You Down" chords please let me know. If this is confusing I am sorry and will gladly explain it. Also, if anybody would like a video of me using these chords and scale let me know or if anyone wants a video of anything else. :D
