Lenny Kravitz-
³Rock and Roll is Dead²
Transcribed by Bryan Pero([email protected])

Well these are just all the basic Led Zeppelinish riffs in the
song and how they fit with the lyrics. I have most of the
solo figured out and I¹ll post it later, if you really want
it.

Intro/Rythym figure 1.(ryth.fig.1. is intro w/out muted strum
and slide from 17th fret). This is two guitars playing
together(L.Kravitz and Craig Ross) arranged for one guitar:

-Palm Mute-
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17--
G--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17--
D--X-X-X----------------3-----------------X/17-17-17-17--
A--X-X-X-------------3^5--5^3-------------X/17-17-17-17--
E---------17\--3-4-5----------5^3--3-4-5-----------------

Before each verse Ryth.fig.1. ends with this little riff
(ending on either D MajorD or E MajorE). There are 2 guitar parts. So,
again, this comes right after you play rthy.fig.1. and are
about to go into a verse:

Gtr.1
  A augmentedA G+G D MajorD or E MajorE (let the D MajorD and E MajorE chords sustain)
E--------2-----4--
B--2-----3--or-5--
G--2-----2-----4--
D--2--------------
A-----------------
E-----3-----------

Gtr.2
 A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD  or E MajorE (let D MajorD and E MajorE sustain)
E------------------
B------------------
G------------------
D------------------
A--------5---or-7--
E--5--3------------

Fill #1 (this occurs mainly right after a verse, before
Ryth.fig.1 is played)
E---------------------
B---------------------
G---------------------
D---------3-----------
A--5~-3-5---5^3-------
E---------------5-3---

Rythym fig. 2 (played during solo with ryth.fig.1)
E-------------------------------
B-------------------------------
G------------3------------------
D--------3-5---5^3--------------
A--3-4-5-----------5-3--3-4-5---
E-------------------------------

Variation on ryth.fig.1.(towards and at end of song)
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G---------------------------------
D-----------3---------------------
A--------3^5--5^3-----------------
E--3-4-5----------5^3--3-3-4-4-5--

Fill #2(after vaariation on ryth.fig 1.)
E---------------
B---------------
G--3------------
D----5-3--------
A-------5-3-----
E-----------5---
