The rhythm in this song is pretty straight forward and consistent throughout the song. This is not a difficult song to play, the key is to make everything flow. Intro (This is the section of the song before the singing starts. It is played over the pulsing E's played on the bass.) The part consists of an Em arpaggio partern. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --0------------------------------------------------------0---------------- --2------4---4-----4---4-----2---2-----2---2----4---4---4--2-------2---2-- --2----2---2-----2---2-----2---2-----2---2----2---2---2------2---2---2---- --0--0---------0---------0---------0---------0------------------0--------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ---2---2-----2---2----2---2---- -2---2-----2---2----2---2------ 0--------0--------0------------ Verse. This riff/chord part repeats 4 times in each verse; it accompanies the vocals until the prechorus. (Again, listen to the CD for the rhythm.) "ho" means hammer on. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -9--9--9--9--9----------------------------------(7)-(7)-(7)-(7)--(7)------- -9--9--9--9--9----9-----9---9---9---9---9----7---7---7---7---7----7---7---7 -7--7--7--7--7----9-ho-11--11--12--11---9----5---5---5---5---5----4---4---5 -0--0--0--0--0----0-----0---0---0---0---0----5---5---5---5---5----5---5---5 -----------R -----------E -----------P ---7---7---E ---4---0---A ---5---5---T Prechorus (I came to burn the sky...)
