Beyond | TAB (capo 6)
All you need to capture the right feel is the TAB for the intro. Fit a capo on fret 6 and play the following:
There’s some lovely syncopated chord work here, and that opening major pentatonic lick is a real highlight.
When writing the intro using chords and lyrics, I felt it made most sense to notate it as G, with G6 in brackets, then G with C/G in brackets, like this:
| G (G6) |
||: G (C/G) :|| x4
However, with TAB, this bracketed notation feels less necessary. The G chord doesn’t return later in the bar, which is what brackets usually imply—it does, however, arrive late.
In the chord chart, this was easier to explain by placing the G on beat 4, just as you can see here in the TAB.
To truly learn how to play Beyond, you’ll need the chords with lyrics, the chord chart, this TAB, and to play along with the original recording.
