Nothing Good Is Real

Intro: 4 bars of drums... and: GCGCmaj7 e|--------------0--0-0--0--0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0-------| B|--0--0--0-0------0-0--0--0--0-0--0--0--0--0-0--------| G|------------------------------------0--0--0-0--------| D|-------------------2--2-------------2--2--2-2--------| A|----(2)-2-2---3--3-3--3-----2-2--2--3--3--3-3--------| E|--3--3--3-3--------------3--3-3--3-------------------| Note: the intro not exact... just understand the point, which is use the G(6) and Cmaj7 chords listed below strumming in a gentle rythym. for the right hand, i use my thumb to sort of strum the bass notes and i use my index and middle fingers to grab the notes on the b and e strings. sorry if that's confusing but you'll figure it out, i'm sure. this same method is used in the verse also. most important: be relaxed! that said, this guitar pops up a couple of bars after the above guitar... heavily distorted, but volume low: ((Cmaj7) e|-------------------------------------------------| B|--7-(7)--7----7-------5----5---5-----------------| G|--9^11-(11)-(11)------7^9-(9)-(9)----------------| repeat D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| Note: that's right... hendrix style oblique bends! hopefully you understand these, but if you don't no big deal. i'll try to explain. for the G6 bend, finger the 7th fret of the b string with your left index finger. next, finger the 9th fret g string with your left ring finger. strum both strings simultaneously, and bend the g string up with your ring finger (i recommend reinforcing the bend with your middle finger) bend the g string up one whole step, until it rings the same pitch as the b string... that's an oblique bend. Verse: pretty straightfoward, here's the shapes: G(Cmaj7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 3 3 x they alternate every bar. at times in the verse, they'll throw in: high e: 0 2 3 2 0 chorus: one guitar strums the chords, one plays the octaves. w/distortion... don't use verse shapes, use these: G D/EmG6Cmaj7 3 3 3 0 0 3 3 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 4 0 0 2 0 5 x x 2 2 3 3 2 0 3 x octaves part: G D/F# Em7 G6 Cmaj7 (and a bar of just Cmaj7) e|-------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------| G|-12----11-------9-----7-----4/4---4--------------| repeat D|--x-----x-------x-----x-----x/x---x--------------| A|-10-----9-------7-----5-----2/3---3--------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| hard song to explain... you'll figure it out.
