"Because I Love You" - Masters Apprentices Tabbed by Daniel Schaumann (Check out my web page at "www.geocities.com/d_schaumann/" for more tablature / chord charts transcribed by myself.) Okay, it might be a bit old but it's still /\ /\ a damn good song. I've even managed to make / \ / \ the Masters Apprentices logo, if you're / \ \ wondering what the thing on the side is... / / \ \ But anyway, it's a damn good song to play / / \ \ and it has a ripper of an intro, which is / / \ \ the whole reason why I'm tabbing it out. / /_______\ \ It is actually played on a 12 string guitar, but I've designed this transcription for a 6. It'll still sound good on a 12 string, but there may need to be a few position changes because of the octave higher strings.
For the main riff, I find it's best to use the pick between your thumb & index finger for the A string and use your middle & ring fingers to pluck the two other strings. Alternatively, you don't have to use a pick at all, but it does help with the strumming during the chorus. h =3D Hammer on p =3D Pull off s/ =3D Slide up s\ =3D Slide down INTRO: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|--14--14--14--14--13--13--13--13--11--11--11--11--9---9---9---9-| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------| G|--9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9-| D|7---------------7---------------7---------------| A|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| E|------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------0-------------------------------0---------------| B|3-----3-3---2h3---3---2h3---2---3-----3-3---2h3---3---2h3---2p0-| G|0-----0-0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0-0---0-----0---0-----0---| D|0-----0-0---0-------------------0-----0-0---0-------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|--14--14--14--14--14--14--14--14| D|--------------------------------| A|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| E|--------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------0-------------------------------0---------------| B|3-----3-3---2h3---3---2h3---2---3-----3-3---2h3---3---2h3---2h3-| G|0-----0-0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0-0---0-----0---0-----0---| D|0-----0-0---0-------------------0-----0-0---0-------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| MAIN RIFF: (Note that I made the bars bigger, but keep counting at the same speed.
