NO EXPECTATIONS - JAGGER/RICHARDS

A 1968 production by the Rolling Stones with an easy piece of slide guitar in it.

Also very easy to get from ear.

It is played with three guitars (including the bass) and this is the tab for

each of them.

You can download a demo MP3 on my website whose URL is here above in which

I recorded myself playing the 3 guitars.

The RHYTHM GUITAR (acoustic) is left in standard tuning.

The SLIDE GUITAR (acoustic too) is tuned, as often with slide, in OPEN E like this

from low to high : E - B - E - G# - B - E

Legend :

> > > : strumm in rhythm (very easy if you listen to the CD or the demo)

/ : slide-up

\ : slide-down

h : hammer-on

b : bend (1/4)

ALL NOTES of the SLIDE GUITAR are played with the slide bar (or bottleneck ?)

INTRO :

Only the RHYTHM GUITAR plays the intro that cannot be more simple
