Tabbed by Michele Ain't Life Grand Slash's Snakepit 2000 Tablature & correction by Michele (send e-mail at bighello79@yahoo.it) Intro: Arp. C 7 (sounds like a typical C blues outro in G 7) C7 E------------------8--- B------------------8--- G------------------8--- D------------------10-- A----------1-2-3---8--- E--12/3---3------------ REPEAT 2 TIMES, ENDS WITH AN OCTAVE G 7 CHORD THEN REPEAT THE WHOLE RIFF -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- ---1---3b5-3b5 3b5-3-1---- THEN ANOTHER G 7 (...

End of the summer, down in New Orleans... I think the whole verse could be like that: C G# D# A# C G# D# A# Then: "The reason I'm stayin..." sounds being like this: G# D# A# F G Repeat VERSE RIFF Then get to the CHORUS: (a very Jimi Hendrix feel) G# C C# D D# G G# A A# D D# E F D# D C# C (repeat) --------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------------------------------------------- -------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ------------- ----3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6-----------------5-5-6-6-7-7-8-8- 6-6-5-5-4-3-- 4-4-----------------3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6----------------- ------------- SOLO: The solo rhythm repeats the one used for the verse CHORUS n. 2 INTRO RIFF ("mama grand, papa grand etc...")

Michele ----------------------- -------------------------------------- | Ain't Life Grand - Slash's Snakepit| -------------------------------------- Song: Ain't Life grand Album: Ain't life grand Artis: Slash's Snakepit Tabbed by: Tomas Martini (limacent@euronet.nl) I Didn't transcribed the solo, I think groyou's version is pretty accurate, and i usually improvise a bit in that part. You gotta figure the timing out yourself, I don't think that's really difficult. The Chords are played by guitar 2. Here ya go.

"Ain't Life Grand". Tabs by Groyou groyou@hotmail.com January 15th 2001 Tuned down half a tone. I AM WORKING ON ALL THE ALBUM SO IF SOMEONE GOT RIFF OR CHORDS OF SONG THAT WILL HELP ME. Thanks and Slash rules. As Slash says all time, most of the solos are improvised, and that is why they do are so great, they are a real picture of what goes through his mind at the time, so this is not an accurate version, it is not a note for note transcription, but nearly,so trying this one note for note will miss the point. All guitar players should play as they feel with keeping just the basic idear of it. I am sure Slash would agree with that as on stage he did not play the solos note for note from the album. Good luck and let your feelings express themselves through that. bu bu bd [----------------][----------------------] [----------------][----------------------] [----------------][----------------------] [-15(17)-15(17)--][-(17)(15)-13-15/17-17-] [----------------][----------------------] [----------------][----------------------] h p bu [-------------------][-------------------------] [-------------------][-------------------------] [-------------------][--------(15)/17----15----] [-17-17-15-17\13----][-13-------------17----17-] [----------------15-][----15-13----------------] [-------------------][-------------------------] bu bu bd bu [------------------18-][--------------------------] [-18(19)-18(20)-------][-(20)(18)-16-18/(20)-(20)-] [---------------------][--------------------------] [---------------------][--------------------------] [---------------------][--------------------------] [---------------------][--------------------------] bu [---------------------][----------18(20)-18---15-18-15-] [-20-20-18-20-16------][-16----------------------------] [----------------17---][----17-15----------------------] [---------------------][-------------------------------] [---------------------][-------------------------------] [---------------------][-------------------------------] bu bu p bu bd p bu [-18(20)-18(20)--(20)18-15-][-------18-----------------------] [--------------------------][-18(20)--(20)18-16-18/(20)-(20)-] [--------------------------][--------------------------------] [--------------------------][--------------------------------] [--------------------------][--------------------------------] [--------------------------][--------------------------------] bu bu [--------18-------18--------18------18-------18--] [-18(20)----(20)-(20)---------18(20)---(20)-(20)-] [------------------------------------------------] [------------------------------------------------] [------------------------------------------------] [------------------------------------------------] bu p p p p p p [----------------------------------------][-----------------------------------] [-18(20)18-16-18-16-15-16-15----15-------][-----------------------------------] [----------------------------17----17-15-][-17-15----15-----------------------] [----------------------------------------][------17----17-15-17------15-------] [----------------------------------------][-----------------------------18-15-] [----------------------------------------][-----------------------------------] Ain't Life Grand, Written by SLASH's Snakepit Tabulature by groyou - Lyrics and Rhythm Section >From Slash's Snakepit's new album "Ain't Life Grand".
