| Opening to "Lead of Love" |
| Arranged by Caedmon's Call |
| Here's the opening of "Lead of Love." Just capo on 2, it's all on |
| the highest three strings (G, B, E). The highest two strings (B, E) |
| are always open (no fingers, just play the capoed note), so |
| basically you just move up and down the G string. Just make sure |
| your finger doesn't hit the open strings, to keep them ringing. |
| Since the highest two strings are always open, I numbered them as 0, |
| (even though they're technically 2nd fret because of the capo), but |
| for the G string I've named the fret by the ACTUAL number, so it's |
| easier to figure out where you are that way. |
| And as in all tab, make sure you're reading this in a font that |
| gives equal spaces for each character (ex. courier), or else the |

| Normally Alex's version of the intro is better, but on a 12-string |
| use this version on just the bottom two "courses" (pairs of strings), b |
| and e. I run through the intro lick--Alex's unless I'm on a |
| 12-string--once, and then I start strumming the full chords. |
| Once you go to strumming full chords, the easiest way is to use |
| the basic E and A9 fingerings. This way your hand is always in the |
| same position at the second fret. You can also add the hammer to the E |
| and the optional notes to the A9 with your pinky finger. This puts |
| part of the intro lick within the chords and spices things up a bit. |
| But here's an even better way that's not much more difficult: |

| These chords also contain the intro lick and sound much better |
| than just the basic E and A9. I use these in the intro, after the |
| first chorus, and in the outro, though I use the basic E and A9 for |
| about half of the outro to keep these from getting monotonous. Note |
| that you can play all this keeping your ring finger on the 4th string. |
