Catch 22 - Bloomfield Ave. guitar tab

BLOOMFIELD AVE.

The strings at the beginning are in A harmonic minor

(A B C D E F G#). The main progression is chromatic:

D Db C B Bb A, but there are lots of added notes in

between that.

Notes on Chords:

1) G/B is played as: x 2 5 5 x x

2) The A chord is played at open position (x 0 2 2 2 x)

only when it is at the end of a riff... when it follows

the D it is played at the 5th position (5 7 7 6 x x)

MAIN RIFF:

|-------------------------------|

|-------------------------------|

|7-7------7--7------7-7------7-|

|7-7------7--7------7-7------7-|

|5-5------5--5------5-5------5-|

|-----5-6-------5-6------5-6----|

This riff varies in length... it is twice that long the first

time it is played, and is half as long before the breakdown

at the end, but it's the same pattern.

THEME:

|D |A |C |G/B |

|Bb |Bb |A |A |

repeat

VERSE is same as THEME, except on 2nd repeat, play one eighth

note of D, rest for 5 1/2 beats, play four eighths of A.
