Creepin’ In | TAB

This may be mainly open-position chords but it sure ain’t easy!

Let’s go through the TAB, here’s the intro.

I love how the old honky-tonk is invented here to fit in an open-position G chord. It’s only a full G on beat 1. The pull-off lick is #9 – 9 – root.

Here’s one way you could play the verse, make sure you can do it exactly as written. Practice slowly first.

When you can do it (it’s the same idea throughout), the quick hammer-on for the D chord is important, you could do this on string 4 of the C chord as well if you want.

Here’s another way to play the verse.

The rhythm is now not tied anymore and that hammer-on on C and D is more pronounced.

When you can play this as written, at different tempos, start blending the two ideas and you get what is played on the original recording and what Sandy plays above.

Here’s the chorus.

We’re using the second verse idea on line 1, then idea 1 on line 2.

Here’s the end lick, it’s scary!

If this is achievable, then try the solo!

Using the YouTube video above, you can select a chapter, and then loop that chapter as you play along.

Do this to practice the solo and all other parts – Good luck!
