Yet, the guitar is playing only<br/> 'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for<br/> the<br/> tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the<br/> end/start of each bar.<br/> <br/> This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections<br/> towards<br/> the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same<br/> way.<br/> <br/> <br/> Collector of tabs for The Who...<br/> Author of Hebrew language Jordan/Syria Travel Guide<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
