The album version is tuned to standard E, but on most live versions I've
heard Mato plays it in standard dropped down 1/2 a step, ala SRV. Mato
uses a Standard Strat with mild overdrive. Like Jimmy Page, people seem
to think that Mato uses more distortion and overdrive than he actually
does - Page's tones weren't all that raunchy if you really listen to them,
with the exception of some of his live stuff. Same goes for Mato.
I used a Boss OD-3 Overdrive unit, with the volume at about 9 1/2 o'clock,
tone around 10 o'clock, and drive about 2 1/2 o'clock; I used my the
middle/neck pickup plugged into a Fender Princeton 112+ and it all seemed
to emulate Mato's tone very well.
Since I don't have my guitar in front of me, I can't remember exactly how
to play the very beginning, so I'll just tab the main riff.
It goes a little something like this...
e = |------------------------------------------------------------------------=
B = |-----------------------------------------3--3---2-----------------------=
G = |------7-x--7-----------------------------4--4---2-----------------------=
D = |------6-x--6-----------------------------5--5---2-----------------------=
A = |------7-x--7-----------7-p-5-------------5--5---4-----------7-h-5-------=
E = |--0-------------5-h-7----------3^4--0-----------2-----5-h-7--------3^4--=
~ ~
E7 G Fm7
Or sometimes Mato'll play this after the Fm7 chord:
e |---------------------------|
B |---------------------------|
G |--2-h-3-p-2-p-0------------|
D |-----------------2-p-0-----|
A |---------------------------|
E |------------------------0--|
~
Then the chorus is just B, A, E
e |---------------|
B |-------2----0--|
G |--4----2----1--|
D |--4----2----2--|
A |--2----0----2--|
E |------------0--|
~ Let ring
/ slide
h Hammer-on
p pull-off
x mute string
^ bend
I'm not too sure about that Fm7 chord - it just doesn't sound exact when
I listen to the song, so if you've found exactly what that chord is, email
me and tell me. I know that he plays it around the 2nd fret like that, I
just haven't found the right combination of notes for that chord. The
rest is pretty accurate, aside from some other little licks Mato throws
in there.
