It's the riff in the middle of `If You Can't Rock Me'. The song is in open G. Let me know if the tab works for you. This is a really cool riff to know. I sprinkle parts of this around liberally through a lot of songs. & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 D ------------------------------5-----------5------------------------- B -3--4--0--5-------------------3-----------3----------------------- G -4--5--0--5--------0------------------------------------------------ D -------------2--3--0------------------------------------------------ G -------------3--4--------------------------------------------------- D -------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to work the whole song out when I get a chance but this riff *really* is the best part of the song. Hopefully my editor doesn't do more weird changes to what I really wrote as I save this letter. -Jim It did. Well I changed it again hopefully it stays this time. Hey!!
