I COULD HAVE LIED

Red Hot Chili Peppers

---------------------------

I'm a pretty lousy guitarist but the earlier two versions made me cry, so

here's my try:

MAIN RIFF

e|----------------------------------

B|----------------------------------

G|----------------------------------

D|----0-4--0-4--0-4/7-5-4-0---------

A|0h2--2--2-2--2-2--0---------------

E|---------------------(2)--3-------

RIFF 2

The second riff is just the main riff but

with this change compared to the riff above:

e|---

B|232 (that is: you hammer on and pull off

Just change the 0 part in the main riff)

2 2

PRE-CHORUS

I think they use open chords here: B D A (B)

CHORUS

Like pre-chorus with a change: B D A G

The solo part I leave to you...

Mail me, critizize me and stuff...

i could have lied

by

red hot chili peppers

i put the original posting below but this is what i think the riffs sound like

h=hammer on

p=pull off

>=slide

Riff #1

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

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

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

||------------4---------4--------4>7--5--4------------||

||-------2h5--------2h5------2h5------------5---------||

||--3--5---------3---------3--------------------------||

riff #2

||---------------------------2h3p2--------------------||

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

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

||-------------4---------4----------4>7--5--4---------||

||--------2h5--------2h5-----------------------5------||

||--3--5----------3-----------------------------------||

i though the notes where G D C C but i might be wrong, i`ll have to try the

ones below but i though i was dead on with the riffs.

i just started learning scales and it sounds like if its played in this

scale paterne which i think translates to g scales?

||----|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|-----------------------------------------

||----|---|-*-|---|-*-|---------------------------------------

||----|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|----------------------------------------

||----|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|----------------------------------------

||----|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|------------------------------------------

||----|---|-*-|---|-*-|------------------------------------------

1 2 3 4 5

so i just fool around in this scale patern (following the pattern down) and

you can play with the solo. it sounds about right? any comments, this is my

first posting!

||-----------------------------------------------------|| p= pull off
