Subject: CRD: Angel Child - by Oasis Date: Mon, 03 Nov 97 13:46:14 +0000 From: Keith Bradnam <pdxkrb@evol.gene.nottingham.ac.uk> Angel Child - By Oasis, Written and sung by Noel Gallagher Third song on the Oasis "D'You Know What I Mean?" CD single. Transcribed by Keith Bradnam Notes on playing: 1) There's a bit of lovely guitar played after one of the choruses. I have yet to work this bit out. 2) At the end of each line in the verse (after the Dsus2 chord is played, there is a sliding up sound. This is where the Dsus2 shape is slid up two frets, then two notes are picked (A, then G on the G string) before returning to the Am chord, i.e. Dsus2 Am ----0------------0-----------------| ----3/5----------1-----------------| ----2/4----2--0--2-----------------| ----0------------2-----------------| -----------------0-----------------| -----------------------------------| Thanks to Jeff for suggesting this slide bit. 3) The trickiest part is the picking of the Dsus2 chord in the chorus. In the first chorus the picking pattern is shorter than in the subsequent choruses. I.e. initially the chords are Dsus2 and then Dsus2/Ab. In a later chorus, the descending pattern goes a stage further, i.e. Dsus2, Dsus2/Ab, Dsus2/G. 4) The tab for this picking pattern is something like the following: Dsus2 Dsus2/Ab Dsus2/G --------0---0------------0---0------------0---0---------| ------3---3---3--------3---3---3--------3---3---3-------| ----2-----------2----1------------1---0-----------0-----| ----0----------------0----------------0-----------------| --------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------| You can probably play quite a few variants on this simple pattern. The important thing is the descending run on the G string. Chords Numbers refer to fret positions on each of the six (EADGBe) strings.
