I LIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU ---------------------- (FIREHOUSE) transcribed by Koo Juan Huat (koojuanh@iscs.nus.sg) ******************************************************************************* Playing tips : 1) All tabs transcribed below are as close as I can get but you should try to fit your own rhythmic feel and guitar fills whenever you feel it is most appropriate. It is not easy to transcribe a strumming(rhythm) part. 2) When playing the Intro and Ending, finger the chords given below and not just press the notes you need to play. This is because you want the notes to really sound properly.
3) Bill Leverty (Firehouse) applied roughly the same chord progressions and guitar techniques on "Love of a Lifetime" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes". If you need these songs, it will be pretty easy to pick up this song. 4) When performing the guitar solo, do not play it stiff. Add thrills and tremolos to the long notes. This will add life and energy to your guitar playing. 5) For people who wants to play the easy guitar version (strumming), follow the chords given at tablatures. 6) Please feedback to me on whether the tablatures have been useful to you and accurate or if you have any queries. This will enable me to continue to contribute. My Email Address is : koojuanh@sununx.iscs.nus.sg 7) Lastly, this song is dedicated to all the people in love out there. Good Luck !!
