Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Alive and Kicking (Simple Minds "Acoustic" CD)
Artist: Simple Minds
Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (Dec. 15, 2018 to Dec. 18, 2018)
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Guitarist Charles Burchill came up w/ a great acoustic arrangment f/ a great
80's song. There are three acoustic guitars at work using acoustic friendly
chord grips. Well all are friendly except the C chord at the 10th fret.
It is a difficult chord shape to say the least which I myself cannot manage
to play. Lucky f/ us you can fake it by eliminating the "C" note on
D String at the 10th fret and just play the D shape at the 12th fret.
2) Guitar 3 enters the picture in the 1rst Chorus
3) I have included a small section of Simple Minds' really cool live Acoustic
version performed in Hamburg Germany where Charles plays a very cool series
of arpegiated chords up at the 12 thru 15th frets that adds a nice bright
touch right before the first Pre-Chorus of "Whatch gonna do ......?"
It's more fun to play than the studio version
4) Notice that at the end of the Intro Guitar 1 plays an Fsus2/C and Guitar 2
plays an Fsus2/G. This also applies when the Intro is repeated at the end
of the Chorus
5) Most of the Guitar 3 tab is actually notes that are the result of echo
and delay but are essential to the performance of the song
