Go Your Own Way | TAB
Let’s take a look at how we can combine all those chord riffs that Lindsey Buckingham laid down on the original recording into one guitar part that works in a live band, as the only guitarist.
Here’s the intro and verse using TAB.
There are a lot of chords in there, hopefully, what I wrote above as chords and lyrics, F (Fsus2), makes sense now. I’ve put F/C as that’s what the guitar plays, but the bass is still playing F so it’s a bit weird.
For the C6 I used the open position, on the original recording, it’s the honky-tonk way.
The Bbsus2 – Bb was extremely awkward as I was trying to fit the 3rd of the chord in on beat 2. When I realised it was just too hard, I simply scrapped it and now all you do is move the fingers up from strings 3-4 to 2-3.
If you are worrying about the bass note, remember, there will be a bass player at the gig!
Here’s the chorus which is very similar three times, the small variations meant I had to write it out three times. The small variations also make the part come alive.
