Son Of A Preacher Man
Daniel Gebhardt's submition is pretty much spot on. The intro riff
is very slightly out, which i've tabbed out below.
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
< > = natural harmonic
E -------12--------------
B -11/12------------13\12----
G -12/13------------14\13----
D -----------------------14--
A ---------------------------
E ---------------------------
If anyone is interested in the bassline, it's very simple, and is
based around major pentatonic shapes.
It starts like this:
G -----9--9----------------------------9--9-------------------------
D ----------------------9--9h11-------------------------9--9--9h11--
A -7----------7--7h9/11-----------7--7--------7---9/11--------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------------
then just follows the root notes with the occasional major
pentatonic run.
E major pentatonic:
G -----------------9--11--13- once you've got that shape down,
D ----------9--11------------ you can start it on any note to get
A 7--9--11------------------- that note's major pentatonic, eg. if you
E --------------------------- play the same shape starting on the 7th
fret of the E string you've got Bmaj
pentatonic.
Hope this makes sense.
