Tabs

"Sister" by Lenny Kravitz from Mtv Unplugged Session

Thanks to Jonathan Feldman for his tab of the cd version of the song.
Altough I've never heard the cd version I think he got some of the chords
wrong. I'm sure about the chords I post because I saw the video of the
unplugged session. The transition bits I transcribe are just simple runs
Lenny plays in chord changes.

Lenny's Guitar is tuned down half-step

Chords (from low to high)

Chord diagramG7sus4G7sus4 1x0011    (he just slides down 2 frets the Chord diagramG+G chord)

B--1--1-1---1/3\---|-----0---

D--2--2-2---2/4\---|-2---2---
A--3--3-3---3/5\---|-0---0---
E------------------|-x---x---

Finally a Chord diagramC majorC to Chord diagramG+G transition:

   Chord diagramC majorC			   Chord diagramG+G      to Chord diagramG7sus4G7sus4 and to Chord diagramEsus4Esus4
e--0--0-0----------|-3---3---
B--1--1-1----------|-3---3---
G--0--0-0----------|-0---0---
D--2--2-2----------|-0---0---
A--3--3-3--3-2-0---|-2---2---
E----------------3-|-3---3---

You can play these transitions whenever you want to as long as at the
correct chord change. If you have the unplugged version it will be
easy to find where these happen.  During the Slash's solo Lenny keeps
playing Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramEsus4Esus4 indefinitly.
