Ambulance Driver Superdrag
Okay... lesson time. Any Hendrix fans out there?
If you know anything about the rhythym playing style
of Hendrix, you know that he rarely (especially in
ballads) just strums a chord. he adds little embellishments
to keep things moving... such as suspending and releasing the
fourth, sixth, or ninth. this is very similar to the guitars
in ambulance driver. this may mean nothing to you, but
look at this:
notation:
h - hammeron
p - pulloff
/ - shift slide
( - ghost note
Standard:
[E6] [A6]
--------0-----------------------5------------------------------------------------ --------2-----------------------7------------------------------------------------ --------1-----------------------6------------------------------------------------ --------2-----------------------7------------------------------------------------ --------2-----------------------7------------------------------------------------ --------0-----------------------5------------------------------------------------
With embellishment (ambulance driver intro)
[E6] [A6]
--------------------------------5--5--------------5------------------------------ --------5---5-5--5-5--5-5-4-4---5--5----5h7p5--5--5---5h7p5-5-------------------- --------4---4-4--4-4--4-4-4-4---5h6----------6-5h6----------6-------------------- --------4h6-6-6--6-6--6-6-4-4---7-----77-----7-7-----7------7-------------------- --------7---------------------0----------------0------------0-------------------- --------0------------------------------------------------------------------------
it's a bit more complicated, but sounds much cooler.
that said, try applying that to these chords for a
closer translation of the song.
Intro:
|E6 | |A6 | |
|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /| play 2x
Verse:
|E6 | |A6 | (*)|
|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /| play 2x
Chorus:
|F#m |B |E6 |A6 |
|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /|/ / / /| play 2x
That's about all you need... the (*) is a lead fill:
D|------2-(4)/6-4-----| A|--2h4---------------|
