_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ Welcome to this [Ab] classic Axe [E] song.
This was one of the first songs I could really play I considered well on the guitar.
_ [Abm] It has a lot of palm muting in it, so you want to be proficient in palm muting and it's
a good way to [E] practice it.
So to start out with, I've got kind of a chorus-y, real saturated tone going and we're just going
to hit an E, _ _ _ _ [Gb] then go down to a D, and these are just power [D] chords.
_ [B] You can pedal [Ab] on that _ fifth string so [D] you've got this. _
_ _ _ _ Then you go to your [B] B, _ [Ab] so you're going to hit your B [B] root note twice and then the chord.
[E] Same when you do [C] the C, _ _ [D] up to the D, _ _ [Gb] then you're going to come all the way [G] up to an
F.
[Db] _ _ [E] Just slide your fifth finger down, okay, [G] so you've got _ _ [E] that's _ going from an F to [Em] actually
a D, [D] _ [E] _
but it's quicker.
[D] _ This would be a D chord, _ [E] okay, but you're just sliding your fifth finger down from [G] the
tenth fret to the ninth fret.
[D] _ _ [E] _ Another way is to go from the G [Gb] _ to an [G] F sharp.
_ [Gb] And [Abm] I did that in the intro.
I'm not 100% sure exactly what he's doing because it happens pretty fast, _ so you can
figure it out, whatever works way best for you, but I think it's going to [G] the D.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ So it's your choice.
Both sound [E] fine.
_ Do whatever feels [Db] comfortable to you.
So [E] when we're doing this, we [B] want to hit this B note twice and then the chord.
[D] Then you do the C note [C] twice. _
[E] Then you're just doing a [D] regular D.
_ [G] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] So you have this.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] Okay, so that is basically the chorus [Ab] and the intro.
When they get into the verse, what [E] they're doing is going from an E up [A] to a G and back to [E] D.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, so you can see how the song all fits [Ab] together and they play [Abm] the rhythm just a little bit different.
Sometimes they're playing more of the [Ab] chords, some they're palm muting.
So I think it's a good [Abm] song to listen to and [Gb] practice that with it.
Okay, there is a break there and they do this really cool little lick.
It [Ab] sounds like this.
[Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Db] _ [Gb] To start that lick, what you do is when they're ready to [E] come in, he's going to push up the
third string at 19 while the small finger [Abm] is holding down the second string [C] at 20. _ _
_ _ [A] Then you slide that [E] down and you go to [E] the second fret and you're just going to push
up [Gb] that second fret third [A] string and push that up while [Db] hitting the second string.
_ [Ab] _ _
Then just move it up to the fourth fret [E] _ _ _
and it feeds [Gb] back a little bit.
Then they [B] come back in with the rhythm _
_ [E] _ _ _ in _ [Em]
this little lick.
_ _ [E] _ Just walking up the scale so we [Abm] can slide on the twelfth fret to 14 on the fifth string.
Then we're going to come down to 12 and 14 on the fourth, [E] 12 on the third, [Em] _ [Gb] back to 14 on the fourth.
_ [Bm] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ There's [Abm] another lick they do that he's going to push up that third [E] string.
_ _ He hit 15 on the [G] second string.
_ _ [Em] One other lick they do in the song.
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[Abm] He's hitting 14 on the fifth to 12 on the fourth to [E] third and then back to the fourth string at [Em] 14. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Ab] You can kind of hit [E] that release and stay. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Gb] Practice those kind of [Abm] licks.
You can play around with that E [Gb] minor pentatonic and do some cool licks with that song.
Pretty simple, but man it's a fun song to play.
I hope you [N] guys enjoy.
