I was looking at the video on youtube the other night, and I thought to myself, "hmm, that's one of the first songs I ever tabbed out for GN....."

And then I looked back at the tab.....first line of the verses should definitely be D then Dmaj7, rather than D and A.....apart from that, I think I was pretty close! Although when you drop from Bm - 2 2 4 4 3 2 - to Bm7 - 2 2 4 2 3 2 - you might like to try it with an open A string - 2 0 4 2 3 2 - I think that's actually a strange way of playing a D chord (you're still only using the I III V of the D scale - D, F# and A.....but it seems to suit the bass line better, especially if you're playing solo acoustic.

And while we're talking solo acoustic.....here's an intro that might work better, especially if you haven't got an acoustic with a cut-away, and you can't get high up the neck.
E |---------------------------------------------------| B |-7---7---------------------------------------------| G |--7---9b11r9b11r9-6-7---7-6b8r6b8r6----------------| D |---7-----------------9--------------9-7------------| A |----------------------9----------------------------| E |---------------------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------------------| B |---------------------------------------------------| G |-s6-6-6-6-5-4--s6-6-6-6-4---s9---------------------| D |-------------7------------7------------------------| A |---------------------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------------------| s6 and s9 simply mean hit the note a fret or two lower than that (eg, the 5th fret) and slide up to the correct fret (eg, the 6th) like you would hammering on, but only using one finger.

9b11 etc means - strike the note at the 9th fret it, bend it till it sounds like you're playing the same string at the 11th fret (ie a full tone higher) then release the bend till you're playing the original note, then bend it back up again, then release again till you're playing the original note you struck at the 9th fret......

I'll have to go back through all my old posts, see if I made any more mistakes....hey, in my defence, I'm a better guitarist now, and I hear chords now that I wouldn't have recognised back then.......

:D :D :D

Going to have to dig out the Ray-bans......!!!]]> Easy Songs Vic Lewis VL https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-100560 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-100258 Sat, 30 Apr 2005 04:27:51 +0000 You bring back some great memories with this transcription. I first saw Mott Live on Broadway, the first rock and roll Band to play on Broadway. I will never forget the beautiful italian marble entry way and the perplexed look on the bartenders face in the lobby as ragged jean and t-shirt clad youths lined up for shots of Jack instead of the waiting champagne and wine he had uncorked. Queen was the opening act right before their first album came out here in the states. One of the best shows I have ever seen. You wouldn't by chance have the tab for Sweet Angeline floating around in your head would you?]]> Easy Songs teleplayer324 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-100258 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-99463 Sat, 23 Apr 2005 19:27:23 +0000 Easy Songs alpier https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-99463 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-young-dudes-mott-the-hoople/#post-99359 Sat, 23 Apr 2005 00:46:30 +0000

It's always interesting to read how contributors to this forum came across the songs and their history with the songs.

Good one Vic, keep em coming.

Respect
