(April) Spring, Summer and Wednesdays Status Quo
E||----------------------------------|| (. = short) B||*--------------------------------*|| G||-----------------------------6/7--|| This last slide has to be D||---7---7-------7-----7-------6/7--|| played real quick. As it's A||*7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---7---4/5-*|| just for the effect, the E||-5---5---5---5-----5-----5--------|| time for the first chord . . . (C#5) should be very short. [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [d] Verse: [1] [+] [2] [+] [3] [+] [4] [+] E||----------------------------------|| B||*--------------------------------*|| G||-----------------------------6/7--|| 4x D||---7---7-------7-----7-------6/7--|| A||*7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---7---4/5-*|| E||-5---5---5---5-----5-----5--------|| . . . [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [d] (guitar with overdrive) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + What really is important here, is E|--------------------------------| that this rhythm-guitar holds B|------------------------7---5---| this C-chord until the second G|------------------------7---5---| half of the first beat of the D|------------------------7---5---| next bar. It's not starting with A|7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---| that rhythm again immediately on E|5-5-5-5-5---5-5---5-5-----------| the first beat. It's the other (C) rhythm guitar that just goes on, on the first beat. That's why 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (6x) I've placed the chord between E||----------------------------------|| brackets. Don't strike it but B||*(5)---------------------7---5---*|| just let it ring. I advise G||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| you to listen to the last D||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| bars on the record (CD-time A||*(3)-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---*|| 3:46/3:57). You can hear it E||-----5-5-5---5-5---5-5------------|| very clear on that spot (this guitar is panned on the right) as there is no sing- ing. Another thing that you have to do, while playing this chord, is pulling the strings a bit downward with your fretting hand, to make the pitch a bit higher like Francis is also doing with his voice.

It might be a tremolo-bar but I don't think so. Do you? It had to be played on a stratocaster then? I think they did that effect later. Second rhythm guitar: ===================== This guitar is given some more low while treble is turned a bit down. It is panned left on the record. Eight bars rest (Intro and first lines of the verse).
