The Cheap And Easy Approach
I’ve seen the Paris DVD and yes, it does seem Mart plays with a guitar in flat
tuning. But isn’t it a pain in the ass to do flat tuning? I sure think so! So
I came up with the Cheap And Easy Apprach… not only easier to tune, but easy
to play too! Here goes:
Tuning: Drop D
Capo 1 (tab relative to the capo)
Main Riff:
e|—————–
B|—————–
G|—————–
D|—–3-0—0—0-
A|—0—–3——-
D|-0———–3-0-
Alternate Riff
e|—————————–
B|—————————–
G|—————————–
D|—–5—–5——-5—–5—
A|—5—–5—5—5—–5—5-
D|-5—–5——-8—–8——-
or, if you’re amazingly cheap, you can do this:
e|—————————–
B|—————————–
G|—–0—–0——-0—–0—
D|—0—–0—0—0—–0—0-
A|—————————–
D|-5—–5——-8—–8——-
And so the bridge part would go like this:
e|———–
B|———–
G|———–
D|——-0-3-
A|—0-3—–
D|-5———
Isn’t that easy?
Here’s the format:
On each line of the verse play this:
Main Riff x 3 + Alternate Riff
On the chorus, play this twice:
Alternate Riff + Main Riff x 2
Bridge: Listen to it, there’s alot of those.
For the 2nd guitar in the bridge, who knows? Play with a slide on the first
two strings is my advice.
To end, I suggest alternating the main riff like this:
e|—————–
B|—————–
G|—————–
D|—–3-0—0-3-0-
A|—0—–3——-
D|-0————-0-
Go forth, you lazy ones, and play!
