----------------------------------------------------------------- Who do you love (intro) Quicksilver Messenger Service Original song by Bo Diddley ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: ICanHearYouWell ----------------------------------------------------------------- Some notes about the song: It was covered by QMS back in 1967 and was recorded in 1968 for the Happy Trails album. The lead guitar is performed by John Cipollina. If you want to get his sound (and the look), you'll need a Gibson SG. He used to have guitars with one output per pickup, so he could send the bridge pickup to a Fender Twin Reverb amp, and the neck pickup to a Standel bass amp (Standel). His rig was quite complex for that time, check http://www.johncipollina.com/rock.html - it's very interesting. I tried to reproduce the tone on this song using my Zoom G2. I started from a preset that reproduced Jimmy Page sound, I modified it to get a more crunchy/bluesy tone. Here is the preset (first the effect, then the value for each knob), use it as a starting point, it definitely needs some tweaks depending on your setup. * CP: 2/SL/48 * Wah: off * Noise reduction : 2 * Drive: BL/70/10/80 (BL=Fender Tweed Deluxe'53) * Eq: 8/2/2 * Cabinet: CB/Co/2/ * Mod: off * Delay: off * Reverb: HL/10/5/30 The videos uploaded by some great guys on Youtube helped a lot to get a decent tab. Thanks ItsCrozak (damn great playing !) and QsStellarLemon (great cover, the guy has reproduced a whole QMS lineup by himself) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMDCX6HIAEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTG5_YD8n7U ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: standard - EADGBE There are two guitars, the first one being more bassy and used for the "whale" sounds at the beginning (you can use your fingers instead of a pick there). I know there are some mistakes here, you are welcome to improve this tab ! "Whale" sounds part, mainly bends on low strings: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
