Notes: * `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on. * In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and it's half-beat can either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above (in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2), which is one of my personal favourite colourings, or the normal D fingering can be retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and an upstroke on the following half-beat. * Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the tabs when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb. In particular the C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-) * A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you want to do this riff (IMHO). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G E N E R A L N O T E S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to keep up the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar solo parts. I like to use the last 4 bars of the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first verse, using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B. In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of the rhythm guitar part, allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish. 2. As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording. 3. Enjoy! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
