My jimi thing tab and mp3... still need help with chorus

Post by jared »

hey guys.. i'm making progress on Jimi Thing, but keep getting hung up on the chorus

I just helped a friend with the intro so i'll post it here incase others need help

here's my version of the intro that sounds good:

Code: Select all

E:----------------------------------------------------x-------
B:------------------------x---9-----9--9-----------2--x-------
G:------------9-----9--x--x---9-----9--9-----------2--x--6h7--
D:------------9-----9--x--x---9h11--9--9--------O--2--x--7----
A:------7-----9h11--9--x--x---O------------11\--------x-------
E:-7h9-----9--O-----O--x------------------------------x-------
   d    u  d  d     u  #  %   d     u  d    d   d  d  $
   *       @@@@

* - fret both 7's with index
@ - move index finger down and slide
# - mute with fingers 234, down stroke this mute
% - sound of you moving your index finger down a string
$ - this muted stroke sounds good.. puts a nice rhythm to it.  listen to CP version and you'll see
mp3 1
mp3 2

and here's what i need help on:

Code: Select all

E:-------------------
B:-------------------
G:-2-----------------
D:-2----------4---4--
A:------------x---2--
E:-----3---2--x---0--
   1   2   1  4
I recently recorded the song all the way through.. its really choppy, and i definately struggle on the chorus
here's my recent recording of the whole song
