Dave's Not Here

Riffs in Brown Sugar

by on Feb.21, 2013, under Dave's Rants

Sorry for the web page, but I couldn’t get the tab to display right on facebook, so I decided to link instead . . .

Last Monday, I started playing this riff during the G/C part of the chorus . . this replaced a G chord, with a rest (just added a riff):

G (riff, played in 4 beats) C
e:—-3————————————5——-
b:—-3————————————3——-
g:—-4————————————3——-
d:—-5——————5—————–3——-
a:—-5————5–7——————–5——-
e:—-3——-5s7————————–5——-

Trevor mentioned that I could play it during the intro, but to add a G note in the
beginning. I can’t seem to make it fit . . . listening to it, I think they’re
dropping the d, so I’m playing this riff, again, with the four notes even.

(riff, played in 4 beats)
e:——————————
b:——————————
g:——————————
d:—————-5————-
a:————-5—————-
e:—-3—5s7——————-

I’ll try to record it tonight so you can hear it . . .
