Gas_Man Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 an easy way to learn Strokes guitar or bass parts. Is to work out what key the song is in, and then if you don't know it already, learn that major/blues scale. The Strokes never go out of those, so all you've got to do is stick to those scales :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 yeah that's true david, although i haven't had a proper lesson with the bass so i haven't figured out the scales yet. although i think ill call around for a teacher today but thom, are you sure thats right man? i dont hink he goes on the G string but ill try it in a bit i just got done playing the whole is this it album! whew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy On To NotePad ! note: there shouldn't be any pauses when playing these sections, i made it like that so it's easier to read, instead of counting all the notes, although there is a pause after the chorus *the chorus is difficult for me to figure out there are several ways to play it and i wrote out two; play around with it, i'm probably wrong but everything else is 100% right -the optional chorus is at the bottom 1st and 2nd verse: G:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:------------------------------------------------------------33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333 x8 E:33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333------------------------------------------------------------ pre-chorus bit G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------77777777-77777777-77777777-77777777/ <-- optional slide upward A:55555555-55555555-55555555-55555555-77777777-77777777-77777777-77777777----------------------------------------------------------- E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *chorus G:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:55555555-55555555-77777777-77777777-55555555-55555555-77777777-77777777 x2 E:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd verse: (count to 16 or wait until 2:15 if you play with the cd) G:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:----------------------------------------------------------------33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333 x1 E:15/33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333------------------------------------------------------------ G:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:------------------------------------------------------------33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333 x2 E:33333333-33333333-33333333-33333333------------------------------------------------------------ pre-chorus *chorus end on G:------ D:------ A:-10- E:------ *optional chorus: G:------------------------------------------------------------ D:7777-----------------------9999----------------------- A:-------7777-5555-7777--------7777-5555-7777 E:------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 ah fuck for the optional chorus it should start on 5 and then go to 7 instead of starting on 7 and going to 9 but the notes on the A string are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 but thom, are you sure thats right man? i dont hink he goes on the G string but ill try it in a bit i just got done playing the whole is this it album! whew well, it sounds okay when i play em. but you could just pay those notes on a different string. like, instead of playing 7 and 9 on the g srting, play 5 and 7 on the a string. but i think it sounds more intense when you play it on the g string. and whoa, congrats man, i'll start working on is this it after i finish the bends. man, its taking me years to figure out how to play those radiohead lines.
