Someone to Call My Lover Janet Jackson
This tab was created because other tabs only contained the melody, but there was no rhythm guitar.
This is a great song by Janet Jackson. I would first give props to whoever figured out the melody
but I never found a name attached to it. However, out of respect, I won't claim it as my own.
The rest I figured out, though; real simple riff.
The song is made for two guitars: lead (melody riff) & rhythm (other riffs)
Melody Riff - played almost the entire time

More emphasis on the higher notes,
the 5th/6th string don't need to be played/heard as much.

Back on the road again Maybe we'll meet at a bar
Feeling kinda lonely He'll drive a funky car
And looking for the right guy Maybe we'll meet at a club
