I Could Have Lied   Red Hot Chili Peppers

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

 


 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...

 --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!
