Rich tab by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Guitar Tab

"Rich" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  On Dress Up.  Music by the Yeahs
tab by me, Neil Butler.  All my own work.


Main riff (originally on some machine, here tabbed for guitar)
I'd recommend you play all notes individually to keep it
from sounding too cluttered.

I fear this looks more complicated that it is:
The reason the second change (g5) doesn't have the top end of the
power chord is you need the finger to play the bit that starts on
14th on the G.  What I mean by that passage (141414-b-b-b16) is play
the G5 with your middle finger and your pinkie and bend the 14 to the
16 incrementally with you first.

At the end there are a number of different parts, the most important of
which is this:


 19--19--17--1720
 --20--20--19----
 ----------------
 ----------------
 ----------------
 ----------------

Changing to:

 --19--1917--1720
 20--20----19----
 ----------------
 ----------------

Maybe in a band situation you should play it on the bass, just to give
the player something to do?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs tabs for Rich

About this song

"Rich" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, from their debut album "Fever to Tell," features Karen O's signature raw vocals over a driving guitar riff played by Nick Zinner. Zinner's use of a slide on his guitar adds a gritty, bluesy texture to the song. Brian Chase's energetic drumming propels the track forward, while the bassline, played by Karen O, provides a solid foundation for the band's edgy sound.
