SRV Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I just started playing, not serious, just playing little parts to songs, trying to learn stuff. I was wondering if anyone could make a video lesson or understandable guitar tab to a song I am trying to figure out. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well what is da song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Stevie Ray Vaughan - Hug you squeeeze you...just want to know the intro and the riff he plays while he is singing, screw the solo because I would never be able to play it. Also the beginning of So excited, also by SRV. Edited September 22, 2009 by El Niño Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Go to ultimate-guitar.com thats where i get all my tabs.Yea but for that song, what I played on the guitar is completely different from the song, maybe I read it wrong, and I am not good yet, but I think the tab was off. Also didn't tell me what fret to start on. Edited September 22, 2009 by El Niño Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well I just figured it out. And yeah tabs are usually a little off, but their a good guideline sort of, so you just have to listen to the song and correct it yourself. But I would choose something easier if you're a beginner, something that's more well known so that there will be a more accurate tab.

SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I can play the main part for Day Trippr by the Beatles lol, figured that out as I was fooling around with another song and I realized it sounded similar. I know that SRV songs aren't for beginners, but basically I just want to know how to play it so I can practice it everyday and get better at it, I learn the notes quickly, just have to practice speed and all the muting he does. I would learn more, but I don't know any easy songs I can play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hmmm, well do you know how to read tabs? It sounds like you could figure it out if you could read the tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Kind of, some tabs are really easy to read, and some confuse the hell out of me. Like I do what it saids and it ends up sounding like a completely different song. Example, look up So Excited by SRV live version, look at the video on youtube then play whats on the tab, its like two completely diff songs.

Riot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Actually I just did and the tab matched up with the song, but thing with SRV is he tunes his guitar down half a step. So what that means for you is instead of playing it like this: |-----------------!x-|---------------------||-----------------!x-|---------------------||-----------------!x-|-------------(5)-----||-x---7-7-5-7-5---!x-|-----7-7-5-7--5----x-||-x-------------7----|-----------------7-7-||-5-5----------------|-5-5---------------x-| You're gonna want to play it like this: |-----------------!x-|---------------------||-----------------!x-|---------------------||-----------------!x-|-------------(4)-----||-x---6-6-4-6-4---!x-|-----6-6-4-6--4----x-||-x-------------6----|-----------------6-6-||-4-4----------------|-4-4---------------x-| That should sound better, if you're in standard tuning.

SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) What song is that? So excited or the other one? Also, what does the (4) mean? and the !x? I know X means muted string, but what is the !. One more thing lol, did your post get screwed up when aligning stuff? Cuz one of the X's is not under the other ones and then everything else could be affected. Edited September 22, 2009 by El Niño Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah my post got screwed up. That one is So Excited, and I'm not really sure what the ( ) means or the ! things either, lol. I don't really pay attention to that stuff when I read tabs, tabs just give me the gist of what to play so I can go back and listen to the song to figure out the different parts and timing.

trutrojan8 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (4) or (6) or w/e is a ghost note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I tried it out, seems right, but it skips a little part, don't know if its skips a rake or if I just suck at raking, but it kind of skips a little part. If you know So Excited and you play that tab you will see what I mean..unless I just played it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I play guitar, I'm still a beginner myself, but I just got settled into my new house and I should be able to practice a lot more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzycat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I also receintly started playing guitarbut notice that if you want to play good you musttrain a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yea, it takes years to at least get decent and play a whole song perfectly and learn songs just by listening to them. I don't think I will be able to play a complete song unless I have a teacher telling me exactly what to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
