Chords with lyrics
Hey all,
I have seen a lot of bad tabs for this rhythm part, so I am putting this up here
because I love this song and I think it should be played properly. This are the
best voicing I could think of. I personally like to play the full chords, but you
can also play only the highest 3 or 4 strings so get a funkier sound. Play around
with what sounds best and listen to the song to nail the right hand rhythm and
the breaks. For tone, I would stay squeaky clean with just a touch of reverb and
a touch of compression through single coil pickups. Thanks for checking it out.
RIP Michael.
This is tabbed for regular tuning, E-A-D-G-B-e, but can be more
accurately played if tuned 1/2 step down, Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-eb.
