Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rare Ones ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tabbed by: Connor O. A rare one from the Black Keys. From what I could find this recording was made during a live show done on 9/1/2005. All the recordings I could find have pretty poor sound quality. It's not too bad, but it's really hard to tell if he's playing a low E bass-line during the slide parts of the solo. I didn't tab it, but it sound like Dan is playing a bass-line straight through the slide portions. Key: where # represents a fret number #h# - hammer #p# - pull / \ - slides, up and down respectively. #b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note. #r# - release bend from bended note to normal note. === - under boxes, represents the use of a guitar slide. #b - a slight bend a.k.a. a curl. x - mute Intro: 0:04

           =======                     =========       =========       =======
Really straightforward from here. Just softly playing the main riff and throwing in a quick verse identical to verse 1. Ending on the low E string.
