It's credited to the fictional band Stillwater, but it was written by the film's writer and director Cameron Crowe and his wife, Nancy Wilson of Heart. It's an easy song to play. First of all, get your drummer to play the drumbeat from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks." Then play the main riff. Let the openE MajorE string ring through the whole thing: ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -----7/9--9--9\7------------------------ -----7/9--9--9\7------------------------ -----5/7--7--7\5------------------------ -0-------------------------------------- That riff repeats almost throughout the whole song except once in a while they break it down and play this riff. It's just a
C majorC chord to an A: ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -10--10--10\---7-7-7-7-7---------------- -10--10--10\---5-5-5-5-5---------------- --8---8---8\---5-5-5-5-5---------------- Listen to the song to get the timing right. It's not hard. Now for the solos. On the soundtrack album version of the song and in the DVD music video, Russell Hammond plays two solos. However, only the second solo appears in the film, during the San Diego performance scene. Both start off with the
BB string bent up a whole step at the 10th fret, so be ready for it. Here's the first solo: --10----10----------------------------------10b12-10-7-------------------- --12r10----10b12r10-8---10b11p8\-----8-10-8------------10-8-----8h10p8\--- ----------------------9----------7-9------------------------9-7----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And here's the second solo: --10-----10b12-12r10-7-------7-------------------------------------------- --12r10----------------10b12---12r10-8-10b11---8--8h10p8h10p8h10p8h10p8h10 ---------------------------------------------9---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
