E-Boogie Guitar Tab

[Sabbz]

I know this has been done before, but this is kinder different.

Are there any good tabbers here? Because i would really like to learn the version of E-Boogie Chris plays on the Festival Hall DVD. There is an E-Boogie tab for the version he plays on the From Here On In DVD, but thats not the one i am looking for.

Thanks

[Lutman]

Heaps of that is improv dude, so if you can learn the main riff and play solos through the song its fine. You don't wanna play it just like Chris, add your own stuff in there. That's what I do anyway. There isn't a tab for it, but until a tab comes out try working it out by ear, it's really good for your musicianship.

[livingendrock]

see this is why i didnt want to do a tab for it in the first place, because he changes it all the time. Then every year or so, you get people asking for a tab for "how he plays it now." sorry guys, not gonna happen. not from me anyway. someone else might be nice enough to tab it though

[Sabbz]

Alright then. I guess i could improv most of it. I just really want a tab for the very start part. Like everything he plays before the e: 7-0-4-0-7-0-4-0. You know what i mean?

[b_urself]

ahh yes the mystery train part...i worked that out myself, so can you...
... heres a hint: starts with an e chord :eek:

[Sabbz]

... heres a hint: starts with an e chord
I never would of guessed :P

I tried working it out, I can get something that kinder sounds like it, but it's not to great. Would a tab be possible? *puppy dog eyes*

[b_urself]

the way i do it is kinda chet atkins style..bah probly not..but yeh i use my thumb to pluck the 5th n 6 th strings and alternate with pulling the rest of the strings with 3 fingers or watever....timing is crucial young padawan

[Sabbz]

yeah thats kinder what i do but i use my pick aswell as my fingers.

[Kevin]

ahh picks are overrated, fingers for the win! :p

[Strider]

I'd tell ya to find the Chet Atkins tab and modify it, but Chris actually plays it sorta different from Chet. It doesn't have to be perfect ya know, so long as it sorta sounds the same.

[_jimmy_]

all i know is it starts with E aswell, than i recall a chord shape from the DVD that looked like a G???

[chainsaw cheney]

i just wanna know how to play the start of it like the bit he plays just by himself. the very start. it sound wicked.

[WHITE FALCON]

all i know is it starts with E aswell, than i recall a chord shape from the DVD that looked like a G???

its a b7 open chord


e--2--
b--0--
g--2--
d--1--
a--2--
e------


then when he does the question and answer part with the crowd he is playing this chord

e--7--
b--0--
g--7--
d--6--
a--7--
e--0--

hope that helps :D

[Sabbz]

hey man i have guitar pro. can you give me a link to it?

thanks. oh, those chords helped to ;)

[chainsaw cheney]

No... i dont have that damn. I got powertabs thats it. x.x

[WHITE FALCON]

hey man i have guitar pro. can you give me a link to it?

thanks. oh, those chords helped to ;)

PM me your email and ill send it straight to you!

[Sabbz]

seeeent ;) (the extra e's are to reach minimum characters in post)

[mel_bound]

Your explanation renders the extra E's unnecessary

:p

[WHITE FALCON]

yeahhh thats what i was thinking!

[Sabbz]

Your explanation renders the extra E's unnecessary

:p

lol that was the whole point :P

Anyway i got the tab and its awesome. But by intro i though you meant the very very start part. before the 7-0-4-0. Ah well, its an awesome tab still, i'll use it.

[WHITE FALCON]

ahhh ok umm i know how to play that!

its fairly easy!

someone on here showed me the tab. i just worked it out other then that its like easy.

[Sabbz]

yeah it doesnt sound that hard but i just can't figure it out.

[chainsaw cheney]

need that michael fryar dude. i think thats him. he tabs good tle.

[Kevin]

need that michael fryar dude. i think thats him. he tabs good tle.

if only we knew his secret identity

but seriously, the only way to play those fancy intros is to look at cheney's influences and throw around their style and patterns

[WHITE FALCON]

ahh ill tab it.

this is just my fav one to play.

i just did it on the spot then

[Sabbz]

sweet. I haven't tried it yet but i am going to right now. Ill report back on how it sounds ;)

[_jimmy_]

that sounds fuckin awesome,good work there.

[lachlandavis]

Its important to note when he starts the Chet Atkins intro

All the tabs ive seen you guys use is wrong, and it saddens me (kidding)
Ill only tab it if you get desperare BUT
He uses 2 strings, not one, the e and the B

[_jimmy_]

tab it than,im desperate to know it. i really wanna learn it.

[Sabbz]

that tab sounds awesome ;) Good job. Its sound a little off but nothing major.

Lachlandavis, if you know the right tab could you please tab it?

[thelivingvines]

awesome. looking forward to giving that one a shout later on. thanks!

[WHITE FALCON]

Which part sounds wrong because i play it with the e boogie they did on the channel V bus before west end riot and it sound pretty good exept for these parts which i cant work out atm:

E---0-2-4---------------0-------STRUM LAST CHORD REALLY HARD

that last lead up part im not really sure about it. oh and that part where it goes B A G# F#, they dont do that but i rekon it sounds good =D. and you have to have delay but its like half a second so it should sound like this *dum-chika* lol :D

edit: oh yeah i forgot to do this last night coz i was tired but you hit the B 4 times before you go into that run down

[lachlandavis]

The bit thats wrong is having seen cheney do it and listeing to it, when he starts the Solo chet atkins thing (the thunderstruck sounding thing) which we really should give its own name

Anyways, all the tabs say its on one string like thunder struck, But its actualy On both the e and b strings and the second pull is an open b not an e

Paste this into note pad, should be raligned then

[WHITE FALCON]

really?

im pretty sure he doesnt.

i was like 1m from him at tweed and it didnt look like it. but ou might be right because he uses the pick and if it was all on one strig you wouldnt need to use the pick. you could just do it like thunderstruck.

[Kevin]

i'm at work and don't have a guitar around to try it, but i think using the open b string would sound odd. he's alternating between the scale notes and e

i don't think he plays it just on the e string anymore, using the b string for one note of each position, but he picks the open e again after playing it

[livingendrock]

he doesn't play the open B

EDIT: And yeah everything Kev said because i didnt see it before i posted lol. But yeah keep in mind that when i did my tab, and wrote it out all on the E string, i was only going from the audio, I didnt have a video of it at the time. So yeah it would be



|-7-0---0-7-0---0-7-0---0-7---0--|-9-0-----0-9-0----0-9-0-----0-9-0----0--|
|------9--------9--------9------9----|------10--------10--------10--------10-----|

and so on
and so on

[WHITE FALCON]

hmmm ill check it out and get back to you. im not convinced yet lol

[Wazzup]

he doesn't play the open B

EDIT: And yeah everything Kev said because i didnt see it before i posted lol. But yeah keep in mind that when i did my tab, and wrote it out all on the E string, i was only going from the audio, I didnt have a video of it at the time. So yeah it would be

|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|


and so on
and so on

That's how i've played it, because I find it hard to stretch if you only play it on the e string.

Whens your tab page going to be updated Jason? (no pressure :D )

[Sabbz]

yeah, its played on E and B strings. I just checked.

[WHITE FALCON]

checked where? the DVD?

[_jimmy_]

i remember hearing an early version of eboogie somewhere i think it was during the MA era,it goes right in to the main riff and theres a drum solo before the bass solo, and theres no beer sliding or skulling.

[BonesTLE]

Hey with the mystery train part I play it more like this...


E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G----0h1--1h2---0h1---1h2--
D----2----2-----2-----2----
A--------------------------
E--0------0-----0-----0---- Repeat etc


E---------------------------
B---3-3-------------------0-
G---4-4-------------2p1H2-1-
D---------------------------
A---------------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
I haven't counted the "E's" it's just a guide....

Then it goes to the 'A' part... Someone else can tab that... :p

[WHITE FALCON]

hhah yeah i have since found out by watching the dvd that he uses the full E instead of Em. i love it how he goes to the E#9 or whatever that jazz chord is and then plays it there. it sounds sick.

[BonesTLE]

Yeah it's awesome hey.
Oh, please no-once take that tab of mine too literal: I don't really use tab and have hardly ever written it...
Just warning you all...

[WHITE FALCON]

yeah its a little wrong but thats all good :D

[BonesTLE]

Yeah it's just my way... sounds good.

EDIT: Oh, it also depends on which version is playing in your head at the time you play it yourself... :)

[WHITE FALCON]

hahah yeah thats true :D although the one that normally plays in my head is sorta a mixed one lol

its sorta like the port pirie one with and DVD one. its pretty cool :p

[BonesTLE]

I always have so many versions in my head when I play it that I think it's now my own version! :D

[Daniel]

i tell you what e-boogie reminds me of......... Rude mood by SRV

[WHITE FALCON]

yepp!

hmmm i now play e boggie different to that weird tab i posted a while ago!

im gonna start doing some tabs soon!

i just cant be bothered at the moment!
