Private Investigations

Private Investigations

! First, a few precisions: this is an attempt of a transcription of the
! studio version of P.I. Not everything of what he does is here (far
! from that), but it sounds nice when you play this along with the
! record, or with a bunch a musician friends.
! Besides, I'm completely deaf when it comes to figure out chords (even worse
! than solos!), and I know that he often starts these little "phrases"
! by strumming a 3 or 4 notes chord, and then picks notes over it. So if
! such "phrase beginnings" don't seem to match for you hear, and you
! happen to find better ways to do them, please let me know!
! Add on (22 Feb. 93): The corrections I've added are precisely trying to
! improve those "starts".
! As usual, any adds, corrections, comments, are welcome.
! No notations tricks: a ">" means the note following should have no
! attack (i.e. slide it, hammer it, pull it, whatever!).
! Intro arpeggios (not included in the "Money for Nothing" best-of version):

! 2nd verse is quite much like the 1st one, give or take a few variations:
