Description
Notes From John
A guitar part in tab, 4/4 at BPM = 129, marked “clean, dark tone.” It’s chord work rather than single-note lines: mostly three-note voicings, from E♭ and Gm to A♭, B♭7, F7 and Aº7, played in sixteenth-note patterns with the down and up strokes marked. The intro is held chords. Inside the Cm bars a note moves from the 8th to the 10th fret. The guitar rests for 15 bars from the 1:18 interlude and for the 16-bar outro at 2:40.
For the player
This is a chord part with sixteenth-note picking, so stay under the vocal and keep the strokes as marked. Watch for the moving note inside the Cm bars. Count the long rests at the interlude and the outro. At BPM = 129 the job is the feel.
