Use of triplets and syncopation. I have included a mix of the parts that I enjoy.:) The chorus sounds a bit weird, due to the awkward changing of time signatures. On most the guitar is obliterated by martin's crash cymbal. I got these few awkward bars partly watching Loose in LA and partly from the original. Its hard to get the feel for unless playing with other ppl, but its doable. :) Whilst watching the DVD for those bars I noticed that chrissie and adam play the main different ways of playing the same riff. The way I tabbed it is how adam plays the riff an alternative (chrissie's and bassist's way) I included in guitar 2 as a point of when the lead goes into thirds during verse 2. The main riff is fairly easy, as long as you take care thinking about up and down pick Both guitars use slight RH damping in places. Download the powertab version from ultimate-guitar.com for a better representation Effects wise: overdrive, compression, chorus all in moderation. Chrissie's part is crunched.
