_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [G#] Oh!
Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here, and I am super stoked to bring you an awesome _ riff and song.
It's super fun, it's iconic, you know?
I dig it.
Also, thanks for subscribing to this channel of mine, and you can leave your song requests
_ in the comments below, and I really appreciate your support.
Thanks so much.
But let's zoom in, break this one down right now.
Here we go!
Alright, so to match this up to the original recording, you want to be in E flat tuning.
_ I just chose not to tune down for this particular song, so you could just dive in and have a
cool riff to play.
But yeah, if you're trying to match it up, you've got to go to E flat tuning.
Every string would be a half step down.
But anyway, I'm in standard [E] tuning, and it starts with an open E. _ _
Then it goes to the third.
[G] _ _ And then it's the seventh, but I'm going to [E] slide with my ring finger from the five to the seven.
_ [B] _ _ _ [G]
Like that.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] Then I'm jumping over [G] to the fifth of the D string.
_ _ _ Then I'm going to the seventh of the [E] A.
_ _ _ You put that together and you get this.
[Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [E]
So then from the seven on the A, I'm sliding it up to the nine.
[F#] _ _
_ _ [E] And then back to the seven.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[D#] And then I'm hitting two times on the five of the A.
[F#] _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ [F#] _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] And so every other time, so the first time you do twice, and then _ every other is once.
_ [E] _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] So_
_ [Em] Nice little bluesy thing in there where you cover the twelfth fret of the G and B.
_ _ Then you go to the fourteenth of the D, which is the root.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ then you have some nice power chord riffing, which would be an E power chord.
So it's seven and [F] nine, roots on the A string.
And you [E] _ [D] just _ _ [E] go back and forth between the root on the seven and the root on the five.
So seven, [D] five, five, [E] five.
_ _ [D] _ _ Then you go down to the three, [C] _ up to [D] the five, _ [E] then the seven again.
_ _ _ Woo! _
Ah!
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [C] Three!
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [E] Ah! _ _
Moonwalk!
_ Just kidding.
_ _ [B] _
_ [E] Oh yeah!
_ _ _ [Dm] _
Tippy [C] toes!
_ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] Riff! _
_ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#] _ [D] _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ All right, there was a lesson.
