Soap On A Rope


Chickenfoot- "Soap On A Rope" From Debut album Standard Tuning Tabbed by jjhand, with help of intro tabs Nobody attempted the whole song, so here you go, play it all if you dare. Please rate it and comment if you like it or have corrections. The solos are pretty advanced so it may take a while to learn. Intro- 2 guitars (play bluesy, each low G has a slight bend) E|-------||-------------------------------|------------------------| B|-------||-------------------------------|-3----------------------| G|-------||-------------------------------|-2----2-----------------| D|-------||-2-----------------------------|-0----2-----------------| A|-------||----------------0--------------|------0----2-2----------| E|-0h3p0-||----0----0h3p0-----0-----0h3p0-|-----------0-0----0h3p0-| E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|----7--------------------------| D|-2-----------------------------|------------7------------------| A|-----------------0-------------|-/9----0-/7-------7\-2---------| E|----0-----0h3p0-----0----0h3p0-|---------------------0---0h3p0-| * one guitar plays chords while other plays the slide notes Verses are similar, but add in breaks and string swipe effects: first 2 times: E|--------------------|----------------------------| B|--------------------|----------------------------| G|--------------------|----------------------------| D|-2------------------|----------------------------| A|--------------------|----------------------------| follow this with the intro E|----0---------------|--x/x\x/x\------------0h3p0-| (0:46) E|------------4-4-0-0-|------------4\-0------------| B|------------5-5-5-5\|----------------5\-0--------| G|--------------------|--------------------2\-0----| D|-2------------------|-------------------------2~-| <- quick tremelo bar dip A|--------------------|----------------------------| E|----0---------------|----------------------------| follow with intro again E|-----------**-------|----------------------------| B|--------------------|----------------------------| G|--------------------|----------------------------| D|-2------------------|----------------------------| A|--------------------|----------------------------| E|----0---------------|----------------------0h3p0-| ** Last time before chorus has a pinch harmonic squeal (guess?)
