Tabs
Here are tabs for the two main riffs in "Simple," from Collective
Soul's latest album. They are real close, but not quite perfect.
If anyone has some suggestions and/or corrections, please post!
First riff:
E MajorE |-----------------------------------------------
BB |-----------------------------------------------
G+G |-----------------------------------(second time)
D MajorD |--2---2---------------------2----------(5)-----
A augmentedA |--2---2---7-p-0---2-h-5-p-2---0-0-h-2-h-5------
E MajorE |--0---0----------------------------------------

Tablature explanation
---------------------
BB Full Bend
b 1/2 Bend
bb 1/4 Bend
h Hammer-on
p Pull-off
x left-hand muted "scratch" strum
this is what i've figured out for the opening riffs for simple and it
sounds pretty darn close
E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------
BB|------------------------------------------------------
G+G|------------------------------------------------------
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------
A augmentedA|---------7--------5--0--7--0-----------5--------------
E MajorE|---0--0-----5--7--------------0--5--7-----------------
2nd time play D MajorD|--5-- at the end instead of A augmentedA|--5--
