I'd forgotten how good this is......

When I had my electric guitar this was one of my fav tracks to play. Had a full band back up track as well. Crancked up I was 'in the moment'. Only trouble was that the wife to be doesn't really like music! Sold the electric to fund the MX300's as it never got used.

Billy Duffy created some brilliant 3 chord riffs. Just wish I'd seen them live back in the 80's.

What effects did you use mate, been meaning to get the tabs for this for ages. Is it just a bit of of delay?
 
I had a Zoom 40/40. One of the patches on there was perfect for it, but I'm afraid that I couldn't tell you the delay rate or other settings. I was a 'if it sounds good' guitarist, not a 'techie' one. Sorry if not much help.

Most of The Cults stuff works quite well acousticaly as well. Even the lead bits if you can get past the 12th fret easily and quickly enough!

This looks similar to the version I used to play.

Standard Tuning

for the effects I use flanger on my digitech rp300, especially for the intro
try some reverb also

** sometimes the D and C chords here are played muted
and the G isn't played
the other times the D and C chords are louder and the
full G is struck ("and the world")


-here is the pattern of the rhythm
D
Oh the heads that turn

C G
Make my back burn

D
And those heads that turn

C G
Make my back - make my back burn
