1 THE NOTATION)-----

Each guitar part is written in both musical notation and guitar tablature.

The tablature tells you which strings should be played at which frets. The six lines of the staff corre-
spond to the strings of the guitar, first string at the top, and the numbers written on the lines indicate
which frets should be fingered.

~: r
I~~
~
~
6th

4th string,
3rd fret

(high E string)
(B string)
(G string)
(D string)
(A string)
(low E string)

The numbers in the tablature staff should be played with the same rhythm that is written in the musical
notation staff. (If you're unfamiliar with musical notation, the best plan is to listen to and play along
with the recording of the song.) Numbers that are stacked on top of one another should be fingered
and played simultaneously as a chord.

I have not indicated left hand fingering. If you play through a line two or three times, the correct (that
is, easiest) fingering should become apparent. Where I felt it was important, I've indicated up and
down pick strokes by using the symbols /\ and V above the notes.

Rock and roll is repetitive: that's part of its charm. There are symbols used throughout to indicate re-
peating the previous measure, or the previous two measures.

Repeat the previous
measure
Repeat the previous
two measures

The symbol gva means that the indicated passage should be played up an octave from where it's writ-
ten. The tablature takes care of that for you.

11

Here is the tablature for some common guitar techniques:

BENDS - Finger the string at the fret shown and bend it upward to produce the note that would
ordinarily be heard at the fret number in parenthesis. This usually occurs on the first three
strings. If the number in parenthesis appears first, bend the string before you play it. Then with
the bent note sounding, relax the string back into its fretted position.

b
b

SLIDES - Finger the string at the fret shown and, without lifting your finger, slide up or down to the
next indicated fret.

s
s

lf no fret number is shown before the slide, start a fret or two away and slide quickly to the
indicated fret. Or slide away from the indicated fret to an undetermined fret, lifting your finger
as you go to mute the string.

Any of thes<;! slides can be performed on single strings or with whole chords.

12

HAMMER-ONS - Finger the string at the fret shown and produce the next note not by picking it
with the right hand, but by hammering a finger of your left hand onto the indicated fret.

h
h

PULL-OFFS - Finger the string simultaneously at the fret shown and at the next fret shown. Pick

the first note, and produce the next note by plucking the string with the left-hand finger you're
pulling off.
