Come Together | TAB
Tune your low E string down to a D and you can play this iconic tune on just one acoustic guitar (use my online guitar tuner).
Since the intro is identical to the verse riff, let’s go straight to the verse—it’s surprisingly simple!
Notice how the A chord’s honky-tonk feel is cut short on the A6. I could have indicated this with a staccato mark (a dot above the stem) while keeping all notes as 8th notes, but I felt this way was clearer.
Here’s the chorus in TAB:
On the original recording, they drive the 5 chords rhythmically. I’ve chosen to break it up a little, as you can see here—feel free to go with whatever suits your playing style.
During the solo, the band honky-tonks on the D and drops the bass line hammer-on riff.
Personally, I thought combining that riff with a minor honky-tonk feel sounded great, so I arranged it for you—give it a go!
Having completed this acoustic idea, can you come up with something for a sole guitar in a band situation using the backing tracks?
