Speechless Colin James

I declare that the transcription is done by myself.
- more or less. I'm doing this by ear and it's just to get you all going.
There's a moderate amount of stuff going on in here. Since it's an instrumental (only)
I tried to put in some timing stuff. Follow along with the CD to get it right.
The somg is in the key of G in standard tuning. The riffs are mostly G major pentatonic
Em pentatonic) or more likely the Em blues scale (practically the same as the Em pent).
are a lot of bends and pull offs and
hammer ons (or is it pulls off and hammers on ?)
Intro chords +
[G]G [///]/// [///]/// [D]D [-]- [Em]Em [///]/// [//]then[F] t[F#]ack on the following descent riff
( or play these chords instead D/ C/ Bm7/ Am7 )
You just "pass through" the D to the Em in the above progression.
Descent riff
e --------------------| B ---7---5---3---1----| G --------------------| D ---7---5---4---2----| A --------------------| E --------------------|
VERSE
[G](j[//]ust[Bm] pa[-]ss[C] t[/]hr[G]ou[/]gh[D] t[///]he B[////]m...play this whole progression twice...
after the second measures of D, play the following chord to lead
into the upcoming Em
e --x--
B --7-- 3-|
G --8-- 4-|
D --7-- 2-|
A --6-- 1-|
E --x--
PRE-CHORUS
[Em] [///] [G] [///] [Em] [///] [B7] [///]
[C] [///] [Db] [dim] [///] [D/] ^[C/] [Bm7/] [Am7]
(or use the descent riff again here)
(D dim =
e --3-- 1---|
B --5-- 1+4-|
G --3-- 1---|
D --5-- 1+3-|
A --4-- 1+2-|
E --x--
(barre the 3rd fret with index and place fingers 2-3 and 4
on the indicated frets)
There's also a sliding riff on the G after the Em in the pre-chorus
This could be off, but it should be close enough.
e --12/7-------- 2 then 2 then 2 then 1-| B --------7/8----------------------------| G --12/7---------------------------------| use 3nd finger throughout D --------7/9----------------------------| A ---------------------------------------| E ---------------------------------------|
CHORUS
G / D / C /// (play 3 times)
F / F# / G /// (play this quiet part Hendrix-style)
e -----------------------------------------| B ---10----10----------11----11--------12--| G ---10----10----------11----11--------12--| D ---10----10h12p10----11----11h13p11--12--| A ---10h12-------------11h13---------------| E -----------------------------------------|
Repeat the verse / pre-chorus / chorus (with hendrix riff 2x on the second pass)
and end like the beginning of the intro but finish on the Em.
[G] [///] [D] [Em]
Good Luck,
Garry
