Hi friends. I don't post very often, but I often enjoy reading other's posts, tutorials, etc, and many of them have helped me greatly. Especially Kapone (WHERE ARE YOU??? COME BACK!!!!)

 

Anyway, I thought I'd actually try contributing to this forum for once. I am not an advanced player, and I've never studied music. This is probably the only thing I've ever successfully worked out by myself that sounds somewhat accurate.

 

When I was first trying to learn Yellow on guitar, I never really found a correct version of the intro on acoustic. Usually on the tabs for Yellow, they only include what I call the "pre-intro" below, but not the rest. With this version, you can play it and go right into Kapone's version.

 

I hope you guys give it a try. I would love some feedback on it, and suggestions if you have any!

 

This is in the unofficial "official" Yellow tuning of: EABGBD#

 

You'll have to figure out the strumming yourselves. When you strum, focus on strumming the strings which have notes (i.e. not the open strings. Sorry, not good with the terminology).

Just realized I made a mistake right off the bat on the first chord. Should be correct now....
