I shot the sheriff tabs

Post by genethomas »

Hi

Does anyone have or know of anyone who would be able to tab out these 2 solos?

Orchestra nights 1990 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG0vD3WED7w

Hyde Park http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iugs4pSpgY

Any help would be appreciated.

Live performents are always difficult , because they always playing it different.

I hope someone can tab it for you by hearing the song :D
play guitar like the wind, mysterious but definitely present....

it should be pretty easy to pick up the Hyde Park one from just watching the DVD - I think the camera guy is smart enough to stay focused on his hands most of the song.... I used to be able to fake through a version of that one after learning a lot of the licks just by watching.

:welcome:

If you decide which one and narrow it down to some licks (time range) I'll be glad to help. But all of them takes simply too much time... it's better to get the key and chords, search the main licks and work through the song. It's improvisation, tabbing it all makes no sense.

Hi

The Orchestra nights has long been my favourite Clapton solo. I remember listening to this live when it was broadcast on the BBC. I think I'll start to slow it down and see where it takes me. If anyone has any idea what key it is in, I'd appreciate that.

Thanks

I would assume he always plays in the same key, which appears to be Gm: http://www.azchords.com/e/ericclapton-t ... 77961.html

Hi

Well I've made a start on the Hyde Park version.

You can upload the powertab from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/aNFJqZMQ/I_ ... ark_V.html

I would appreciate any corrections and feedback. I'm struggling on what the 1st chord EC plays at "Sheriff John Brown always hated me" just before he plays the Dm7.

Thanks
Gene

Hi,

it would be easier to post the tab as simple ASCII (use the code tags) here. I don't like those download sites... :icon_whoknows:
Isn't the chord Eb? :think:

Either as attachment (use tab Upload attachment below) or - much better - simply use ASCII tab between CODE tags like

Re: I shot the sheriff tabs

Post by DustMyBroom »

Hi all,

I also like Hyde Park version, I have two questions on two sweets licks that EC used, the first one is at 6:12, ending with a vibrato on G note.
I don't really know how to do it, there is a bend, then back to the root note.

Second one, it's an another quick lick (or effect as you wish :)) at 6:27, ending by a slide.

If you can help me, I would appreciate.

By the way, you have a really great website, thanks to share all informations.

Fréd from France ;)

Sorry for being late (see my other post), I'll try to find my HP DVD and take a look at it, but this may take a while. But I'm sure to be able to find out what you need.
:welcome: btw.

Found my DVD and extracted the song. Took a (too rare recently...) free minute to grab my axe, but - can you check the time? At the given time at least on my version I can't find neither the G vibrato nor the slide... :icon_whoknows:

At 6:12 there's a fast run with deeper notes ending at F (6th fret B-string)
At 6:27 there's a repetitive playing of the C note (17th fret G-string)

Total song length is 8:02.48 min.
