From: Ericolicious@aol.com Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2001 13:52:06 EST Subject: m/mayer_john/love_soon.crd Love Soon (Inside Wants Out) By John Mayer Re-tabbed by Dave Meslin (with help from Mark Schmitz' original tab work--thanks) I'm not promising this is any more accurate than the other version--it's just an alternate. Comments, improvements, and alterations are welcome. Main hook & choruses The rhythm is NOT implied by the structure of this tab in any way. Listen to the music for that. e-----------------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------| B-----------------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------| G------^----------4-\-----2--/-----9----11-------------| D------^----------5-\-----3--/-----10---10-------------| A-muted rake------5-\-----3--/-----10---10-------------| E--(15\3)---------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------| Bass E is all thumbs. That last 8.10.10.11.8.8 sounds really weird out of context, but give a good listen to the IWO version of Love Soon. I think it's right; that dissonance is pretty distinct. Someone help me if I'm wrong. As far as fingering for that chord, I use a thumb on the bass E, and then, working downword, middle, ring, pinky, index, index. I have small hands, so it hurts, but I'd imagine it's feasible for most.
