[C] [Am]
[Bm] [Am]
[G#] So here's the [A] riff in the second verse of the badge or towards the end [Em] of the second verse.
[G#] [C] [D]
[Am] [Bm]
[Am]
[F#] It's played quite slow compared to the record and it's that riff that's kind of hard to
hear after [C] I'll just actually play the song.
[A]
[Bm] [Am]
It's one of [N] my favorite riffs and it's pretty tricky.
There's a really great tab out there that I'm including in the link but I'll walk you through it.
So [Bm] you start with [C] your first finger on the third fret [B] on the A string.
[C] [G]
Then you slide up, [G] put your third finger on the fifth [B] fret on the A string and you [C] slide
up to the seventh fret.
And there you grab the D and the G strings on the fifth fret and you slide up from there
to the seventh [G] fret.
[C]
Seventh fret A [E] string.
It's a fifth fret A string.
[D] [G] [D]
[C] [D]
[A] Then you make an A [Am] minor chord.
So seventh fret and then you bar across the fifth fret with your first finger.
[C] [D] [Am]
[B] Then you hammer on on the seventh fret with your pinky.
[C] [Em]
[Am] [B] That was kind of [C] sloppy.
[D] [Am]
You can use your third finger too.
[C] [E] [B]
But if you use your third finger you can't [Am] grab the full.
[C] I guess you can.
[D] [Am]
[Em] So we have that [C] part.
[A] [C] [Em]
[Am] Then it's a pull [A] off.
[G] [G#] A pull off from the seventh fret to the fifth [Em] fret on the D string.
And it slides right up to the ninth fret on the [A] D string.
[B]
So [C] all in all.
[Am] [D]
Then we get to the next part where [Em] it's after that slide.
Seventh [Bm] fret G string.
Then seventh fret on the B and the E strings.
[C] [D]
[Am] [Bm]
[B] Then it's a hammer on to the [D] ninth fret on the G string.
[B] You're still playing the B string [D] too.
[C] [Am]
[Bm]
[Em] Come down to the ninth fret on the D string.
[A]
[Bm]
G and B string again on the seventh fret.
[B] And back to that A [F#m] minor sus chord.
[E]
[B]
So all together again.
[C]
[E] [Am] [A]
[Bm] [C]
[Am]
[Bm]
[Am] [E] And [Em] now I'll play it with the song so you have a better [B] idea of that.
[Am] [B] Didn't go back far enough.
[C] [Am]
[Bm] [Am]
[Em] [C]
[Am] [Bm]
[Am] One [Em] more time.
[C]
[Am] [Bm]
[Am]
[N] I hope that helps.
Drop me a line if you have any questions.
[Em] And I'll be back soon with more videos.
Thanks!
[C]
[Am] [Bm]
[Am]
[C#] One more time.
[C]
[Am] [Bm]
