help me figure out what song this is

Unread post by dmbDMBdmb » Sun Apr 09, 2006 4:46 pm

ok so i heard this song on the radio (its a classic rock station)

and i knew the song but jsut couldnt remeber what it is and so i thought maybe if i tabbed out what i though the end sound liek soemones bound to know what it is

so here we go.....keep in mind itsprobably not in the right key. im jstu gonnat ab the string its on to save time

G|-9-9-11-13-16~-14-13-9~-----------9|
D|-------------------------------11-9-11--|

ok heres some tips on playing this to make it sound like how it sounds

play all the notes as quarters except the ones with ~ after it, those are like halfs (there not alla cutaly halfs and quarters but so your playing kidan what is oudsn like it will still be distinguishable.) also the part i bolded i dont even know if its in the song, but i think it is


heres some other stuff:
that part was played a lot at the end of the song with no singing (eventualyl another guitar came in and harmonized with it)
-if you know the band MOE. it sounded liek there solos but it obviously wasnt them
-i thought it might be Grateful Dead, or maybe Phish


please try this out, its a popular song i know that

Error!

Sorry, your tapping was too short. You must tap at least 10 times on the space bar.

Please try again.
