Confusion The Zutons
After looking at all the versions of 'Confusion' by the Zutons on this FANTASTIC
web-site (all of which are very good I hasten to add), I picked up my trusty instrument
of destruction and immediately broke my top e string. Being forced to make do until the
shops open tomorrow morning and I manage to pinch the pennies from my wife's purse, I
have worked out an alternate way of playing this song. I actually think (?!) it sounds
closest to the original - shoot me if it doesn't!
Intro BASS bit first
e ---|------------------|------------------| b ---|------------------|------------------| A g ---|------------------|------------------| d ---|------------------|------------------| a ---|-----------7-7----|-----------7-7----| E -0-|-3-slide-5------0-|-3-slide-5------0-| etc.
Verse 1
e ------------|-------------| b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-| A g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---| d -7----------|-7-----------| a -0----------|-------------| E ------------|-------------| e ------------|-------------| b -----8----8-|-----8-----8-| A7 g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---| d -7----------|-7-----------| a -0----------|-------------| E ------------|-------------| e ------------|-------------| b -----7----7-|-----7-----7-| D g ---7--7-7---|---7---7-7---| d -7----------|-7-----------| a ------------|-------------| E ------------|-------------|
Repeat this pattern until you reach the .............
Chorus
[E] [Bm] [A]
e ------------|-------------|-------------| b -----9----9-|-----7-----7-|-----5-----5-| g ---9--9-9---|---7---7-7---|---6---6-6---| d -9----------|-9-----------|-7-----------| a ------------|-------------|-------------| E ------------|-------------|-------------|
Also try adding the odd .............
A with slide
e --------------------|-------------| b -------------5----5-|-----5-----5-| A g -----------6--6-6---|---6---6-6---| d -5-slide-7----------|-7-----------| a --------------------|-------------| E --------------------|-------------|
and make use of the open A - let it ring dude!
e ------------|-------------| b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-| A g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---| d ------------|-------------| a -0----------|-0-----------| E ------------|-------------|
NOTE the extra note in each bar - it helps give the rhythm and flow to the song.
I hope this makes sense - CONFUSION - yes indeedy!
I love you all!
