Hans Zimmer One Simple Idea album: Inception (Music from the Motion Picture) tabbed by ambient203 Tuning: Standard This track from the outstanding new movie "Inception" basically consists of riffs oriented around Am and Gm. There are alternating patterns in each chord's respective riffs. Johnny Marr plays the guitar in this track. I put a "V" where the chord/key changes are, hopefully that helps. I also indicated the octave change with a "*". When the octave changes, you can play that part as I've tabbed it, or play the riff around the 5th fret. It would look something like this: e|--5-6---6-5---5-6---10-5----| B|------8-----------8---------| G|------------7------------7--| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| The above version might be easier to transfer to; going right up to the 10th fret immediately is tough and the last Gm riffs were definitely recorded separately. Also, I try to only barre the D G B and e strings for the 10th fret Gm riff (makes it a bit easier to keep playing there for the next minute). I'm fairly sure the way I've tabbed it is the way Johnny plays it (the above doesn't ring out as well). I was going to try to tab the brass and strings, but, even if I could tab it out, I don't think I could do Hans Zimmer justice. This is a fun song to play, I hope this is helpful guys, enjoy!
