At Last | TAB
Even though some sections repeat, I decided to TAB out all of At Last as I feel would be appropriate to play this classic with a band.
Use this as a starting point to find your variations on the theme. Here’s the intro using chords, supporting someone else to play the string line.
Later on, this will be repeated during the outro, I decided to vary the way it is played then to give you some more ideas.
Here’s the intro string line should the job of playing this fall on you. When played for the outro, there’s a nice chromatic end line, I’ve included this as well already here.
Next up, we have verse 1, I recommend you play it like this:
As you can see, I want you to play almost only two strings at the same time. This will ensure you cut through the mix. Moving between strings 4-3 and 3-2 provides variation.
Here’s At Last bridge section using TAB.
Again, it’s mainly two stings and lots of little hammer-on and slides to make it more expressive.
Here’s the second verse or maybe it should be called the 3rd… Try playing this as it says before you develop your version of how to play At Last verses.
And finally, here are the outro chords, try this as well as the intro to give you ideas.
