I love this track, and I love this intro! It's a classic, and what's even better is, it's not really that hard to play.
I was really surprised when a friend of mine showed it too me and I saw how easy it was, and I'm not an expert.
So if you want to impress your friends, or the chicks (or the guys if you're a rock chick!!!), then lets get started.
Basically it's just the same picking pattern, and the same notes apart from one change every two bars! 1.
e|-15--14-| b|--15-| g|-14-12-14-14-| x 2 d|-12--| a|-**--| e|-| 2.
e|-15--14-| b|--15-| g|-14-12-14-14- x 2 d|-14--| a|-**--| e|-| 3.
e|-15--14-| b|--15-| g|-11-14-12-14-14-| x 2 d|-**--| a|-| e|-| 4.
e|-15--14-| b|--15-| g|-14-12-14-14-| x 2 d|-12--| a|-**--| e|-| Can you see what I mean? I've underlined the notes that change with **.
Pretty easy huh - get the right guitar sound, and it rocks.
Once you've played those bars the right number of times (come on, you can work THAT much out yourself!), then you just play this at the end: e|--| b|--| g|--| d|--14-14-14-14--14-14-14--14-| a|-15--15-15-| e|-12-12-14-15--14--12-| So that's it - as you can see, it's a nice easy song, but it sounds good when you play it.
All you need now is the hair, the hat, the shades...
But don't stop there - you can only go so far playing simple guitar tabs.
