American Boy


This is a great song, the bass line repeats itself with breakdowns throughout the song. I have added some timings but listen to the song to hear it better as the octaves are 16th notes. | | | | | | | | G||-----9------9---------------|-----------------------------| D||----------------------------|-----10-------------10-------| A||--7------7------7.---7----7-|-----------------------------| E||----------------------------|--8------8.-----8----------8-| | | | | | | | | G||----------------------------|---------------------7-----7-| D||-----7------7--------7----7-|-----7-----------------------| A||----------------------------|----------------5------------| E||--5------5------5.----------|--5------5-------------------| The . after a note symbolises a dotted note, i.e. 1.5 times the length. In this instance are always 8th notes. I'm pretty sure this is right but any corrections please let me know.
