If you have a looper, you're going to want the main riff at the first and eighth positions, the riff below, and some simple strumming going at the same time. This should give you the full sound, and make it much easier to add in the small variations here and there. Either way I tried to give you all the pieces to build the sound up. [1:53] "Pulse is slow.." base outro riff. Really emphasize the interval: e|-------8--------8---|-------8----------8----|-------8----------8----|------8---------8-----| B|-------8--------8---|-------8----------8----|-------8----------8----|------8---------8-----| G|-----9---9----9---9-|----10---10----10---10-|------(9)--------(9)---|--------10--------10--| D|--10-------10-------|-12---------12---------|----10---10----10---10-|---10--------10-------| A|--------------------|-----------------------|-12---------12---------|-8---------8----------| E|--------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|----------------------| C Dm Am F [2:27] Riff starts to add some variations, mostly frets 10/12 on the B/high e string. The F chord starts to end on the emphasized notes on the G string (Fret 10 -> 9). Like I said, if you have a looper it's much easier to add notes over the base riff: e|------8--------8---|-------8-----------10p8-|-------8-----------8----|------8--------------| B|------8--------8---|-------8-----------8----|-------8-----------8----|------8---------8----| G|----9---9----9---9-|----10---10-----10------|------(9)---------(9)---|--------10------10-9-| D|-10-------10-------|-12----------12---------|----10---10-----10---10-|---10--------10------| A|-------------------|------------------------|-12----------12---------|-8---------8---------| E|-------------------|------------------------|------------------------|---------------------| C Dm Am F Shapes if you want to do some strumming, normal triads sound cool too if you want something with a little more prescence. The options below sound great layered on top of each other.
