---------------------------

I COULD HAVE LIED

Red Hot Chili Peppers

---------------------------

I'm a pretty lousy guitarist but the earlier two versions made me cry, so

here's my try:

 

MAIN RIFF

e|----------------------------------

B|----------------------------------

G|----------------------------------

D|----0-4--0-4--0-4/7-5-4-0---------

A|0h2--2--2-2--2-2--0---------------

E|---------------------(2)--3-------

 

RIFF 2

The second riff is just the main riff but

with this change compared to the riff above:

e|---

B|232 (that is: you hammer on and pull off

Just change the 0 part in the main riff)

2 2

 

PRE-CHORUS

I think they use open chords here: B D A (B)

 

CHORUS

Like pre-chorus with a change: B D A G

 

The solo part I leave to you...

 

Mail me, critizize me and stuff...

i could have lied

by

red hot chili peppers

 

 

i put the original posting below but this is what i think the riffs sound like

h=hammer on

p=pull off

>=slide

Riff #1

 

||----------------------------------------------------||

||----------------------------------------------------||

||----------------------------------------------------||

||------------4---------4--------4>7--5--4------------||

||-------2h5--------2h5------2h5------------5---------||

||--3--5---------3---------3--------------------------||

 

riff #2

 

||---------------------------2h3p2--------------------||

||----------------------------------------------------||

||----------------------------------------------------||

||-------------4---------4----------4>7--5--4---------||

||--------2h5--------2h5-----------------------5------||

||--3--5----------3-----------------------------------||

 

i though the notes where G D C C but i might be wrong, i`ll have to try the

ones below but i though i was dead on with the riffs.

 

i just started learning scales and it sounds like if its played in this

scale paterne which i think translates to g scales?

 

 

||----|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|-----------------------------------------

||----|---|-*-|---|-*-|---------------------------------------

||----|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|----------------------------------------

||----|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|----------------------------------------

||----|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|------------------------------------------

||----|---|-*-|---|-*-|------------------------------------------

1 2 3 4 5

 

so i just fool around in this scale patern (following the pattern down) and

you can play with the solo. it sounds about right? any comments, this is my

first posting!

Ok, here are the riffs that are repeated all over the song. You'll have to

listen to the record for

the timing of tabs and chords.

||-------------2-----------2-----------2/5--3/2-------|| thing for 3/5.

||----0--3--0-----0--3--0-----0--3--0------------3----||

||-3-------------------------------------3----1-------||

||--------------------------------------------------1-||

 

RIFF #2

 

||-------------------------------0h1p0-----------------|| h= hammer on

||-----------------------------------------------------|| p= pull off

||-------------2-----------2------------2/5--3/2-------||

||----0--3--0-----0--3--0-----0-------------------3----||
