Tom Petty - Down south

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down South – Tom Petty --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Tom Petty From: “Highway Companion” (2006) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Here’s my reading of the solo. It’s not that difficult to play even though it is high up on the fretboard. There’s a lot of delay on this simple melody (sounds like there’s some sort of “reverse” effect, too?). I’m not much of an electric guitar player, so my tip is: play around with your delay until it comes close ... Many of the notes are triplets, which are a little difficult to write in this format. Playing along to Petty’s recording might help to get the timing right. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- D D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|----------------|---------/12--12| B|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------| (... and a little more) D A D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|12h14-14-14-12-14--|------------17-17| B|-------------------|15---------------| G|-------------------|-----------------| D|-------------------|-----------------| A|-------------------|-----------------| E|-------------------|-----------------| triplets G D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|17-15-15-15-17-14|----------14--15| B|-----------------|----------------| G|-----------------|----------------| D|-----------------|----------------| A|-----------------|----------------| E|-----------------|----------------| triplets G D 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|15----19-19--17-17-|17-----------17-15| B|-------------------|------------------| G|-------------------|------------------| D|-------------------|------------------| A|-------------------|------------------| E|-------------------|------------------| triplets Bm A A 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|14----14-14-----|----------------|----------------| B|-----------17-15|17--------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------| triplets
