Closer Kings of Leon
(this part is originally played by bass, but sounds decent on guitar)
e|------------------------------------| B|-------12----------15----------14---| 3x \ G|------------------------------------| changes to 4x x 4x when D|-9----------12----------11----------| 5x / verse begins though A|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------|
(matthew doesnt "play" this part, he does something with his pickup
(watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7mIHB2JnY4)
(but i guess it could be played like this)
e|---------------------|
B|-12b14~~~~~~~~r12----|
G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------|
then caleb comes in and plays this throughout the song:
[Bm] [D] [A]
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------(7)--------------11----(11)---------------6----(6)-| (ghost notes)* D|----------9------9----------------------12----------------------7--| A|----9--------------------12-------------------------7--------------| E|-7-----7------7------10------10-----10-----------5-----5-----5-----|
*I don't think caleb plays the ghost notes,
but hold your fingers there in case you would accidentally play it :)
besides, it does sound like he hits those notes sometimes!
on the second and third verse matthew plays:
e|-------------------------------------------------| B|-10-(16x)---5-(6x)---3-(6x)---5-(4x)---2-(16x)---| G|-------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------|
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kings_of_leon/closer_tab_ver_4.html )
and inbetween the "coming closer-parts" matthew plays this lick:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------12-------------12--------------15--------------15------------10-----------10-----| G|----11------11-----11------11------14------14------14------14-----9------9-----9------9--| D|-9-------------(9)------------(12)------------(12)------------(7)----------(7)-----------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
outro/solo matthew (on record) -- (same as the verse lick):
e|-------------------------------------------------| B|-10-(16x)---5-(6x)---3-(6x)---5-(4x)---2-(16x)---| G|-------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------|
outro/solo matthew (live):
e|-------------------------------------------------| B|-10--10--10-8-10b12r10---5--5--5-3-5b7-3h5p3~-/2~| \ G|-------------------------------------------------| \ play D|-------------------------------------------------| / 3x A|-------------------------------------------------| / E|-------------------------------------------------| e|-------9---------9---------9---------------------| B|-10--------10--------10--------10-------10b14----| G|-------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------|
