Right? Seems that Paul felt the need to experiment a little with his solo album and since the songs were along his usual lines, he went crazy on the guitars instead. Here he has borrowed a page from Keith Richards. Both guitars are tuned to open G (D, G, D, G, B, D low to high) but without a 6th string. I heard the full sound of the chords when I listened to the track the first time but I always thought it was two guitars like always. Well, there were two guitars but they play the same thing and with the same tuning. The chords he plays here are not playable in regular tuning but can be kind of faked should you feel like it. If so, just play the B, G, and D strings. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum
