  • Notes:
    * `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.
     
  • * In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and it's half-beat can
    either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
    (in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2), which is one
  • of my personal favourite colourings, or the normal D fingering can be
    retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and an upstroke on the
    following half-beat.
  •  
    * Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the tabs
    when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb. In particular the
  • C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this
    isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-)
     
  • * A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you
    want to do this riff (IMHO).

    G E N E R A L N O T E S
     
  • 1. If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to keep up
    the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar solo parts.
    I like to use the last 4 bars of the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A
  • as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first verse,
    using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B.
    In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of the rhythm guitar
  • part, allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold
    the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish.
     
  • 2. As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording.
     
    3. Enjoy!
