Subject: l/lang_jonny/before_you_hit_the_ground.tab Song: Before You Hit The Ground Artist: Jonny Lang Album: Wander This World transcribed by Paul Smith (thegraffix@hotmail.com) Jonny Lang usually plays a Telecaster Thinline through a Fender Vibroking... Notation: ^ - bend x/y - Slide from x to y x - Muted note p - pulloff h - hammer-on ~ - Let ring * NOTE a note with only a bend sign ^ by it indicates a 1/4 step bend This is a little riff he opens the song with, and is hardly audible unless you turn up the volume. All notes heavily muted e |--7-6-5----| B |--------7--| G |-----------| D |-----------| A |-----------| E |-----------| Here's the main riff; Jonny playes some variations on this, but this is pretty much it. Played 4x in the intro e |--3^--0-----------0-----3^--0------7-5-3^----| B |--2^-----3/5--0h2---0---2^----3/5---------5--| G |---------------------------------------------| D |---------------------------------------------| A |---------------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------------| This is a rhythm guitar that does a lot of fills throughout the song. Clean tone, and a lot of syncopated muted strums in between notes. Be funky with it. Let ring e |-------------------------------------------7---------| B |-------------------------------------------7---------| G |-------------------------------------------7---------| D |-2---2---2---2---......--2---2---2p0-------6---------| A |-------------------------------------2-----7---------| E |---------------------------------------3^------------| etc...
