Alexis Acoustic


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexis (acoustic) – James Gang ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Daring Email: jed3@alfred.edu Tuning: standard My first tab, sorry about the sloppy structure. You'll get it though! This song is pretty chill. Good for coffee houses or just hangin out. Mess around with the chords and add different nuances. Also, use different scale climbs into the different chords to add some zest if you can. I put a few examples of what I do, but I usually play it different every time. I didn’t indicate timing of the chords how many times the chords necessarily need be played in each measure. It’s not to decipher from the song. Order: Intro Verse Bridge 1 Verse (with ending 1) Chorus Intro (2x instead of 4x) Verse (with ending 1) Chorus Outro Intro: e|----------0-x-x-0—(0)-| |--0--| B|----------1-x-x-1—(1)-| |--8--| G|----------0-x-x-0—(0)-| |--7--| D|----------2-x-x-2—(2)-| x4 |--6--| play this in place of ghost notes A|-------0--0-x-x-0-(0)-| |--7--| at end of fourth measure E|--0-3-----------------| |--0--| Verse: This is the basic chord progression and some examples of scale progressions into chords. Figure out the melody by listening to the song. I didn’t indicate timing of chords or how many times the chords necessarily need be played. It’s not difficult to from the song. e|-----0-x-x-0--0--(0)-------5--5-x-x-3----5----3----0--------0-----| B|-----1-x-x-1—-1--(1)-------5--5-x-x-3----5----3----0--------0-----| G|-----0-x-x-0--0--(0)-------5--5-x-x-4----5----4----0--------0-----| D|-----2-x-x-2--2--(2)-------5--5-x-x-3----5----3----2--------2-----| x2 A|-----0-x-x-0--0--(0)--7-6--5--5-x-x-5----5----5----3-----0--3-----| E|-0-3--------------------------5-x-x-3----5----3--------3----------| Bridge 1: e|---------0----------0----------------| B|--1------0---1------0----------------| G|----2----0-----2----0--\t/-\t/-\t/---| D|------3--2-------3--2----------------| x2 A|---------3----------3----------------| E|-------------------------------------| Ending 1: e|--0--0--| B|--1--1--| G|--0--3--| D|--2--2--| A|--3--3--| E|--------| Chorus: e|--0-------0---0---0-------0-------0------0---0--3-3-3--| B|--1-------0---1---1-------1-------0------1---1--0-1-0--| G|--2-------0---0---3-------2-------0------0---2--0-0-0--| D|--3-------2---2---2-------3-------2------2---3--0-0-0--| A|--3-------3---3---3-------3-------3------0---3--x-x-x--| E|-------------------------------------0-3--------3-3-3--| Outro: e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------| D|---7-7-7-7/----7-7-7-7/----3-3-3----5-5-5---| A|---7-7-7-7/----7-7-7-7/----3-3-3----5-5-5---| Play until fade out E|---5-5-5-5/----5-5-5-5/----1-1-1----3-3-3---| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | () Ghost note | \t/ tap on guitar body =============================================================================== Any questions or comments, feel free to email me.
