Sex on Fire | TAB
Having studied the chords in the chords and lyrics lesson, you may be thinking:
That’s all well and good in case I need to build an acoustic guitar arrangement but if I’m standing in front of a wedding crowd at ten to eleven on a Saturday night, trying to make a few hundred so I can pay the rent playing my guitar, that Amaj7#11 chord theory is not going to help!
Your conclusion will be: All I need is to play the riff, can you not just give me some TAB that works?
Fair enough, here’s the TAB for Sex on Fire’s intro and verse.

Next, we have the chorus riff for Sex on Fire. Here it is with chords and TAB. I hope you can see all intervals and therefore understand how and why Amaj7#11 is named as it is.

Finally, here’s what the 2nd guitar plays over the C#m chord. I could have called this a C#11sus2 but I thought that might be pushing your tolerance for chord names a bit too far!
