------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conquering Fools - O.A.R. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ross Tuning: EADGBe Key: E-Major Tone: For the lead use a single coil neck pickup with the tone knob rolled back just a bit, through the clean channel with reverb. Rhythm is played on an acoustic. Rhythm: Marc uses reggae style strumming, which means lots there is a lot muting and playing is done on upstrokes. He plays in patterns of four strokes, and on the third beat (upstroke) he plays the actual chord, and the rest is muted. Using barre chords makes this a heck of a lot easier. Lead: Richard plays in basically the same way as the rhythm above. Use mostly upstrokes focus on the highest three strings. For solos, if you want to improvise, just use E Ionian (major) scale.
