California by Rogue Wave Erg.... ultimate-guitar being difficult when trying to upload... killing my browser.... Who don't like this song? Extremely difficult to play without alternate tuning.... at for me... So tune your guitar so it forms an E major chord when left open (E B E G# B e). also need the capo on the first fret, I believe. Keep in mind, The notes I put in parentheses ( ) are where the melody lies and the should be placed. You could play those parts like a solo, but I prefer just to finger pick a little bit while hitting the chord. Also, you’ll have to figure out the rhythm for yourself. I spaced out parts where there a pretty obvious rest, but I didn’t bother with things like upstroke or downstroke, on off the beat, quarter notes, ect…. Not incredibly hard if you listen to it, though… One last note, I’m not very confident in the last part of the main riff, but what I have fakes it well enough, and is what I usually play.

So work with it and be creative and play it your own way. If you want to play it listen to the track. Hope this helps! www.TAB6.com
