Re: Bad To The Bone

Hi markdrago - The chord structure of 'Bad To The Bone' follows a standard blues format.  It's been years since I have heard this classic, so I can't recall whether it is an 8 or 12 or 16-bar blues cycle.

Here is a link that describes most blues chord changes - might take you a minute to decipher the jargon, but one of these patterns will probably fit 'Bone'.  You may also want to transpose their stuff into a friendlier key.

It is not unusual for 'guitar god' stuff to only be in tab form.

I'll take a look at 'Bone' sometime soon and see if I can't fit it into chord format - now that you have reminded me of this excellent song I want to give it a thrash & howl also.

In the meantime, take a look at the link above and see what you can figure out - knowing some of basic blues changes is very useful.  James

Re: Bad To The Bone

Hi again markdrago - Sorry, but I have steered you wrong.  I looked up 'Bad to the Bone' on YouTube and listened closely.  Well, it is different that I remembered it - seems the whole song is basically the same riff all the way through (with lots of dazzling fills and embellishments, of course).

So, your best bet on this one is to decipher the tabs to get the basic riff.  Sorry for the bum steer on this one (but learning basic blues changes is still a good thing to know).
