I Feel Fine | TAB
The only way to get this right is to use TAB. Since there are two guitars on the original recording, we must modify the part into something that works on just one guitar, has variation, but isn’t too difficult to remember.
Here’s what I think you should play for I Feel Fine’s intro chords (that’s after the opening A chord with feedback).
For the verse, we need variation, but also, we can’t write out five different ways of playing it. Look closely and you’ll see how the G riff is varied three times.
The D riff is just written as one idea, on the record they keep changing it, what you see below I felt was the best one.
The final D5 and C5 chord riffs work well as they stay out of the way of the vocals which during these bars are the most intense.
Finally, the bridge, which apply a nice songwriting trick. The verse is so strong it feels like a chorus, therefore, we only need a part to contrast it.
Compare this section with the D5 and C5 of the verse and you’ll see how I’ve borrowed from these parts.
Start with what you see above in TAB for how to play I Feel Fine’s, then develop your unique twists and turns.
