Tabs
Chance by Big Country from the album "The Crossing". Tabbed by Colin Dawson - [email protected] July 2002 There are a few differences between this and the way Stuart Adamson plays the track live but I find that this arrangement helps fill out the sound quite nicely. I use lots of delay (set delay to 270ms) and chorus=20 and heavily damp the strings with my right hand on the bridge most of=20 the time although I use a bit less damping on the intro. Let the delay=20 do a lot of the work for you. You basically play along with the delay. If you play this live, the rest of the band have to follow the guitar speed or the song falls to bits - make sure that the drummer can hear=20 the guitar clearly so he can follow the speed of the delay. I've described the effects I use which I hope you find useful. I use the middle pickup and a very clean amp sound using the clean=20 channel on my Fender Prosonic. I've played this song live using a Strat, = a Gibson Flying V, a Washburn G-2V and an Ovation Preacher and it=20 sounds great with any of them if you get the effects and the amp=20 sound right.A augmentedA programmable multi-effects unit is a must if you want to play this live because of the complex effects and the frequent=20 sound changes.
Introduction Delay plus chorus. Lightly damp the strings at the bridge. Make sure=20 you emphasise the notes with the ^ above them.D MajorD
