REO Speedwagon - Ridin' the Storm Out Transcribed by Xenoxiduis Notes: This is the first tab i created. This was transcribed by ear. This is close to accurate but some notes may be different. Instead of possible hammer-ons/pull-offs i used chromatics Use what feels best to you The "verse bassline" is very tight, each riff starts with "E|5-5" listen to the synth/piano in the mix to help get the groove. Once you get the groove improvise using my notes! listen to the song for timing and tricky off-beat notes This tab includes numerous aids to help: > Section or bar dividers > "0.00" references > Lyric placement > Other instrument inputs > Cues KEY "3|2" = "quick note" similar to a semi-quaver \ = Slide Not all slides are there feel free to improvise your own slides Enjoy :D EADG Standard tuning Intro 0:03 0:20 G|----------|---------------------|-----------|---------|-----------|-------| D|--Synth---|---------------------|-----------|---------|-----------|-------| A|-Harmonic-|---------------------|-----------|---------|-----------|-------| E|----------|5----------5---------|-5---5---5-|-5-3-0-5-|-0-3-4-0-5-|--0-5--| "Ridn'n the storm out" "I ran by his door" 0:37 G|----------------|-----------| D|----------------|-----------| A|----------------|-Drum-Fill-| E|-0-3-0-555555555|-----------| Chorus 0:42 G|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| A|5----------|--55--------|-----------------------|----------------------| E|-------5---|-------5----|--5-3--1111-3333-555555|33--1111-3333-5555555-| | Repeat X3 | Verse 1:02 1:09 G|-------------|----------|-------------|-----------|------------------| D|-------------|----------|-------------|-----------|------------------| A|-------------|----------|-------------|-----------|-------3|3-5-3----| E|555555555555-|-0-5-3-0-5|555555555555-|-0-5-3-0-4-|55555|5--------5-3| 1:19 G|-------------|------------------|----------------|----------------| D|-------------|------------------|-----------5675-|----------------| A|--------3-32-|----------3-32----|----3-5\7-7----7|----4-5-7-7\3---| E|5-5-0345----3|--5-5-0345----2345|5-5-------------|5-5----------532| "maybe beside me" "life of a city" 1:26 1:33 G|---------------|-------------------|---------|-----------| D|---------------|-------------------|---------|-----------| A|--------3-32---|--------3|3-5-3----|---------|-Drum-Fill-| E|5-5-03-5----323|5-5-0345-------5-3-|555555555|-----------| Chorus II 1:37 G|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| A|5----------|--55--------|-----------------------|----------------------| E|-------5---|-------5----|--5-3--1111-3333-555555|33--1111-3333-5555555-| | Repeat X3 | Bridge G|--------------|--------------|--------------| | D|--------------|--------------|--------------| | A|--------------|--------------|--------Solo Starts| E|555-55-3-55553|555-55-3-55553|555-5---------| | Solo G|------------|------------------------|----------------------| D|-2:05-2:07--|------------------------|----------------------| A|-Bass-Rest--|------------------------|----------------------| E|------------|-5--5----5--5--3-3-3-3-5|33--1111-3333-5555555-| ^ ^ ^ ^ | Repeat X3 | Staccato Notes G|----------------------|-------------|----------|-----------| D|Guitar-chromatic-sweep|-------------|----------|-----------| A|----------------------|-------------|----------|-----------| E|11111111-33333333--5--|555555555555-|-0-5-3-0-5|-0-5-3-0-4-| Verse II G|------------------| D|------------------| A|-------3|3-5-3----| E|55555|5--------5-3| G|-------------|------------------|----------------|----------------| D|-------------|------------------|-----------5675-|----------------| A|--------3-32-|----------3-32----|----3-5\7-7----7|----4-5-7-7\3---| E|5-5-0345----3|--5-5-0345----2345|5-5-------------|5-5----------532| "waitin for the thaw out" 1:26 1:33 G|---------------|-------------------|---------|-----------| D|---------------|-------------------|---------|-----------| A|--------3-32---|--------3|3-5-3----|---------|-Drum-Fill-| E|5-5-03-5----323|5-5-0345-------5-3-|555555555|-----------| Chorus III G|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------|------------|-----------------------|----------------------| A|5----------|--55--------|-----------------------|----------------------| E|-------5---|-------5----|--5-3--1111-3333-555555|33--1111-3333-5555555-| | Repeat X3 | G|------------------| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|1111111-33333333--| Outro | 3:29-3:35 | G|------------------|-------------|--------------------|---------------| D|------------------|-------------|--------------------|-Keep-going!---| A|------------------|---3---------|--------------------|---------------| E|11111111-33333333-|1-----5---3-3|111111-22-333333-44-|55555555...3-4-| | Outro Solo | G|-------------------|--------------|| D|-------------------|-Song starts--|| A|--------22-33333-2-|-to fade away-|| E|-555555-----------3|--------------|| | Repeat to End | Unfortunetely UG had formatting problems which means i had to compact the tab which IMO makes it harder/more confusing to read espeically some parts of the song.
